Nissan 370Z Forum  

How often and how to clean Z1 long air intake?

If I were to worry about such things, I'd clean them every time I cleaned the MAFs or TBs. YMMV

This is what I use. You just have to be careful when oiling. You don't need a lot of oil. Too much oil will end up on the MAF sensors and throttle bodies.
