How often do you oil your K&N filter?

Mine seemed to get dry pretty quick. Ive had them on trucks and quads before and didnt have to oil that often. I guess with sitting directly in the wind and sun its going to need it alot more often.

 

I do mine when I change oil, but it is covered.

 

I have to do mine about every 1000 miles or so here in the Phoenix area. It is just very dusty here all the time and the sun either bleaches or somehow removes the oil from the filter. Always tell a difference on the exposed side. I figure too often is better than not often enough.

 

oh good point. I should add that (and maybe obviously) I do not use my rain sock so mine is very exposed to the sun.

 

With my filter being open, Probably good for about 1K miles.

 

Ok thanks guys

I guess I had a little over 1k on it since I put the filter on, so guess thats going to be the time frame. Maybe even sooner once it gets really hot.

I leave mine uncovered as well.

 

Here in the Chicago area I have had mine on for a year and a half and 5000 mile's I just checked it and it look's brand new and oiley but it is inclosed !

 

I clean and oil mine about every 6months which is around 2,000 miles

 

Mine is exposed too. I'd guess maybe every 1k or so, depending on how much sun it sees.

I do mine every year or 8K if it needs it or not!
