hi, i recently purchased an 02 rancher es. its got 2000 miles. it has a K&N Airfilter. i was wondering, how to i know when to replace the filter? its king of blackish redish. it look dirty, not mud mut just dirty. how often are you supposed to replace the air filter? thanks
You can service a K&N filter. Go to your local auto oarts store and buy the service kit. Its around 10 dollars if memory serves me rights. It will service the filter many times.
Most air filters are cleanable. THe K&N lets more air in.
I like it because it is rather easy to clean and you can purchase the proper cleaners at any auto parts shop. I hate the sticky foam filters. Messy. I do know they are great filters aswell. Buy a good filter either way.
Cleaning is easier.
I am not sure about change with just filter. With a filter, exhaust, and proper jetting I know it is. I did al mine at the same time. Sorry I could not be of better help.
