OEM air filter
I used search, but I either suck at using it, or it's not on here...
How long do the OEM air filters last, on average? I live in Idaho, so there's no environmental thing that will clog up the air filter fast or anything to that affect. *edit: I should mention, I'm posting this here, because once I need to replace it, I'm going to get a different filter... K&N or Green, still undecided which. |
replace every 30k
|
Where the hell is Shini when I need him?
Seems to be MIA at the moment! |
Mazda saids about 30K
but for me, I say 15 K the MOST. Filters cost less than an engine, u know. |
^ +1 :yesnod: if you want to change it, get K&N coz it'll last long :)

filters r not hard 2 change. dealers in cali recommend every year or 15k. and cali is considered extreme environment.
so a lil common sense can keep ur car happy. if living in a cold climate with less floating dust particles, it only makes sense that the filter will stay cleaner longer. say u live in a rainy place like seattle, ur filter will hardly get dirty. so just a refreshing of the filter is still a benefit when u see 20k or so. hope this helps... |
k&n lasts longer because you can clean it and re oil it yourself
|
i just ordered one from a local auto parts store, but its taking forever for them to get it, what kind of oil do i use? and where can i find it?
Thanks |
The K&N drop in filter itself should cost around 40-50 something bux.
For the oil, you can get their K&N filter recharge kit. it comes with the spray to clean the filter. and the oil so you can re-oil it afterwards. For more information, go http://www.knfilters.com/ |
^^ thanks for the help!
