just whenevery you pop your hood look at it and if you see alot of dirt or particles on it, just take it off, bang it on something, spray it off with a hose, let it sit for a bit letting it dry and your done.

 

if it was a k&n filter then you might use the cleaning kit, for the other filters(such as the one you would get) the instructions say just spray off with a hose and reuse.

 

Hello walight01,
May I ask you a question again?
How long have you waited before you receive that intake from the seller on Ebay?
I have sent them the payment but seems you are not allow to send him any e-mail cause he has his e-mail box full.

Have you ever try to contact him or he ever contact you after you make the payment?

 

Edwin is right on this... any of the k&n-type filters need to be washed then re-oiled. if not, the filter is useless, because like he said... the oil is what helps trap the dirt. never just wash it and put it in.
