That's not really true....My experience (having sold 1000+ K&N based systems for Audi/VW cars), is to clean them about every 15-20K. Follow K&N's cleaning instructions and they'll come back just like new and last forever. You don't need to change them unless you damage them. Throwing away Re-useable filters is both wasteful, stupid and bad for the environment to say nothing of what it does to your wallet. I've brought K&N's back from the dead to look and perform like new..

Well that is what I am saying though, why throw away a good filter?
They are designed to be reused, I was just using the numbers I was given on the filters.

...I agree on that....Just giving you some real world experience accumulated over Millions of miles on my airboxes. Anyone who wants to throw their K&N's away because they're dirty can send them to me. I'll pay the postage..! Tossing away $70-80 worth of re-useable filters is just dumb.
