A Smart Buy from Novice to Expert,
*NOTE: I use the cleaner and oil very liberally and one recharger kit has lasted me to my third one which I am doing right now. I still have enough for one more «less liberal» recharge for next time. Also, to thoroughly oil the filter in its grooves, it takes a little patience but again, it’s well worth it. Time to go finish my recharge! Take care and I pray this helped!
*UPDATE: It has now been over a year since I have done this review, so I thought I would give some feedback about observations I made recently. The product and air filter still work great! However, I would highly recommend using a «less liberal» amount of oil. When I looked at my spark plugs, they were very rich due to an excess of air filter oil. How do I reduce or prevent this? When applying the oil, apply it to only part of the filter and give it a good twenty minutes; theoretically, this will allow the time needed for the oil to naturally absorb into the fibers of the filter (as they say in the instructions… anxious me). Less excess, less spark plug buildup, and maybe an extra charge out of the kit! If you experience the buildup on your spark plugs, you can just take a wire brush to them. However, blow them off well before re-installing them. We don’t want particles in our cylinders :). Also, as a result of a reply to this post, I found out and affirmed through K&N’s FAQ that unless you are in an excessively dusty environment every day, K&N’s recommendation is to clean their air box filters every 50,000 miles and their conical filters every 100,000 miles! It is very dusty here in Arizona, but my 10,000 mile recharge is still way too frequent. Thank you Gator J. I pray this helps!

Works great, use every 50K miles,
Save your paper air filter (it should fit in the K&N box). Clean your K&N and use the paper filter while your K&N is drying. Then just oil the K&N and swap them back.

Just what you need to keep your vehicles air filter like new!!,
When you first remove the filter from the vehicle, make a note of the actual dirty side of the filter (most likely the bottom). This would be the side that would accumulate stuff like small pebbles, bugs, loose dirt, etc.
Shake the filter to remove all this loose debris and to get it out of the pleats of the filter. Proceed to liberally spray the cleaner on both sides of the filter. Make sure you have eye protection and gloves just to be on the safe side. Let the cleaner sit for about 5-10 minutes then rinse off the filter (do NOT use a power washer. Regular cool running water from your sink or garden hose would suffice). Repeat if necessary depending on how soiled the air filter is. You’ll notice that using the cleaner has made the filter turn white. When the filter is nice and clean and completely dry, you’ll now proceed to use the oil.
Remember which side of the filter was the «dirty» side? When you re-oil the filter, you’ll be spraying the oil on just ONE side of the filter. Reason being is that spraying on the dirty side is the side where contaminated air comes from and the other side would be the filtered air. Spraying oil on both sides has the potential of having the oil flow through the rest of your air intake system and might throw a CEL due to oil being in other parts of the engine and/or sensors (like MAF).
You want to spray the filter like you would painting car parts I suppose. Light coats and making sure that there is even coverage on the filter. I’d give time in between sprays to let the filter «soak» the oil. Keep spraying the filter until both sides of the filter are both pink (like as if you just bought the filter). Wipe off excess oil that is on the filter and reinstall onto vehicle.
It’s a simple, but time consuming process but I think well worth it to have a nice clean air filter for your engine.
