Default TTDA owners, how many miles before cleaning the K&N filter inside the TTDA?

Which is easier to use for lubrication, the spray can or the squeeze oil bottle?

Default Check the filter every 5K and clean as necessary...>>

Get the spray cleaning kit. Put a light film of oil on and let it dry overnight for best results.

Default Use the spray definitely....>

Much easier to do a light mist for the correct application. Cleaning frequency depends totally on your envoirnment and feed set-up. Front feeds definitely need cleaning more frequently as the pull in a lot of junk. 5K recommendation there. High feeds, clean envoirnment then 10-15K. Best just to look at it though. Peek through the feed end. Dirty=time to clean

Default Thanks guys. I will pop by the auto parts store and get the spray lubricant.

Another question, should I get the cleaning product manufactured by K&N or diluted simply green would work fine in this application? Thanks again!

Default Get the whole kit...>>>

They sell it with both products for around $10. The cleaner is specially formulated to work on the gauze material. Spray, let sit a bit, rinse with water, dry and re-oil. The instructions come on the box..
