Re: Pointy air filter need cleaning?
Yeah, I'll get a new one then, just didn't know if it was still good or if it was finished. Cheers.

Re: Pointy air filter need cleaning?
Looks pretty good to me. I'd blow it out while I had it off and keep running it for another year at least. Look at it again in the spring.

Re: Pointy air filter need cleaning?
service interval is 11,000 miles. if you can see light threw it it's fine. just give it a shake out. i tend to whack the edges off a wheeliebin or some other corner.
unless its covered in oil and is black as night then all is fine. i have seen air filters that have needed a bag under it to take it out, they were that full. |
