Cleaning the GruppeM

[Remus325]

Hi guys,

Any thoughts on cleaning the GruppeM filter. I've been using the good ole a wash and dry method but suspect that there may be more to it than just a quick rinse. Boy you cannot believe how dirty it gets esp with the CAI. Do i need to put some cleaning oil on it as with the K&N filter?

Mel, just give me the GruppeM!

Melvin, it's a K&N filter, take out the filter and do as what u do for a KNN filter...

wah lao! you've been using it WITHOUT the K&N oil?? how to trap dirt like that?

better follow the K&N instructions and clean your filter properly man.... like immediately. today. now. go oil it.

On average, how often do you guys do it? Is it enough for the workshop to do it for you at each oil change?

 

[Racebred]

possibly. but if the workshop does it, make sure they have the proper K&N cleaning kit and oil.

Thanks! Me and my lazy ass ... thought wash and dry was sufficient for that dang thing.

I thought all K&N filters come pre-oiled from the factory.

General guideline is to have it clean every 6-9 months right?

i think the drying method use after washing the K&N filter is important too

David at BVO changed the front pads for me in the morning liao. Unfortunately i just found out about my GruppeM situation now (afternoon) so will have to head on down to Fong Kim tomorrow to get the cleaning kit.
