Oil Filter: The frequency you should clean your filter will depend on your driving conditions. It is recommended to check your filter at every oil change or 3,000 miles. If there is a buildup of dirt as thick as the wire mesh, then it’s time to clean your filter.
To properly clean your oil filter, we recommend the S&B Precision Cleaning & Oiling Kit (located in the Parts Sold Separately Section of our website, www.JLTtruecoldair.com).
