    Its a K&N so no need to replace it. Just get the cleaner/oil kit and clean the filter and then reoil it.

    I'm a lazy ass so I just buy a brand new one every 15,000 miles or so. For $40, I'd rather not spend my time oiling it. I do pick out the bugs and crap every now and then.

    You buy a new filter....really?

    I can understand buying two, and cycling them after cleaning and having one on the shelf to swap the next time around....but wow.

    Yup...I guess having two and swapping isn't a bad idea...I really never bothered to even try oiling one. My brother told me what to do and I just thought, it's just easier to buy another one lol. Plus the kit I think is like $20 in and of itself, so I was halfway there to a new one haha. I'm the same way with oil changes...I'd rather pay someone else to do it (right of course).

    Now, I do swap my winter/summer rims and brakes so I'm not completely useless, but close.

    Cover will make it a bit more difficult to get at, but you shouldn't have to remove the whole intake. I've removed mine before with ease, though before the cover. Should still be able to yank it out from the side.

    The thing is that kit is not one time use. You will be able to use it at least 4-5 times so its no where near being half way to a new filter. JMO its your money.
