K&N Air Filter?
I am thinking of getting a K&N cold air kit for my 2007 Chev 2500HD 6.0L gas. I would like to here from those that have used them or any issues with these filters. Thanks

Dude the K&N filters need cleaned 1 to 2 times per year and reoiled, that is what keeps the filter working good..

Boy you also do not have a clue… You struck out.

“4. How often do I need to clean my K&N air filter?
If you have not experienced a decrease in mileage or engine performance, chances are your filter is fine and does not yet need cleaning. To be more specific, the filter does not require cleaning if you can still see the wire screen on the entire air filter regardless of how dirty it may appear. When the screen is no longer visible some place on the filter, it is time to clean it. When used in normal paved road, street or highway conditions, our replacement air filters that fit in the factory air box should require cleaning every 50,000 miles and our large conical filters on an intake system should require cleaning every 100,000 miles. When used in dusty or off-road environments, our filters will require cleaning more often. We recommend that you visually inspect your filter once every 25,000 miles to determine if the screen is still visible. “
So according to K&N a PREOILED FILTER DIRECTLY from their factory under typical STREET DRIVING conditions is GOOD FOR AT LEAST 50,000 MILES. You ONLY NEED TO CLEAN AND REOIL IF THE METAL SCREEN IS NO LONGER “VISABLE”. Which means at 20,000 miles my filter DID NOT NEED CLEANING and reoiling unless the screen was no longer visable.
Get you facts straight…
