The K&N that came in my car doesn't seem to hold it's oil. I'll clean it, oil it and in a month it looses it red color like all the oil is gone. The K&N's I have in my other car keep their red tint no matter how dirty they get. I'm worried it's not filtering correctly anymore. Any body have a similiar experience?

I K&N recommends every 50k. I usually clean mine about 3 times a year, 15-20k a year. I live out in the country and get a lot of dirt and bugs.
See here for instructions: http://www.knfilters.com/clningins.htm You by a Recharger kit which contains a spray cleaner and the proper oil to spray on the filter. Spray the cleaner on, let sit for 10min and rinse the filter out with a hose. Let it dry in the sun, spray the oil on the filter until it doesn't show any white spots. Pretty easy. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???
