The filter element is right at the heart of your RacingLine Intake. It's a specialized, hand-made part developed for high performance and motorsport use. And, as with all the other parts on your car, the filter element deserves to be well looked after and be a part of your regular maintenance schedule.
MAINTENANCE
Our Air Intake, Air Filter, Oil and Cleaner Kit will help you keep your Trifoam filter in peak condition at all times and ensure that the complex triple-layer foam continues to deliver its power and filtration benefits for many years.
We have provided instructions on cleaning and maintenance here. It's a simple process, but please take time to read through, or ensure that your technician reads them, before you begin. We would suggest that you keep these notes with your car for future maintenance/owners.
We recommend that the filter element is cleaned and re-oiled every 10,000 miles/16,000 km, and/or a visual inspection at least every 6 months. This is a simple procedure, and will ensure that your filter continues to deliver the power improvements over a standard car. If your car is regularly used in a dry/dusty environment, we advise that you clean and re-oil your filter more regularly
If you don't clean your filter at the above intervals, no loss of filtration will occur, and your engine will still be fully protected. However, the performance advantages from the additional airflow of a clean filter will be lost. You will also shorten the life of the filter element.
WARNING - OILING FILTER ELEMENTS
NEVER use an unoiled or dry foam filter in your vehicle as this will significantly reduce the efficiency and may allow small dust particles to pass through without being trapped by the dust retention oil.
NOTE: Under no circumstances use cotton gauze filter oil or any other oil not specifically manufactured for foam air filters because oil will not stick to the foam and thus may allow dust through the filter with the risk of causing damage to the engine and/or MAF sensor.
It’s important that our RacingLine Oil and Cleaner Kit is used. However, if our kit is not available, there are two other alternatives. ITG's cleaning kits or Rock Oil foam filter oil and cleaners can be safely used as an alternative. No other products for either the cleaning or re-oiling are suitable, and in many cases may lead to rapid deterioration of the filter material. Their use will unfortunately void your filter warranty.
