I clean my filter at the same time as my oil changes. 5k miles or about 2x a year.

The simple answer is to clean it whenever its dirty.

Just be careful not to over-oil it when you do clean it. Better yet, score an Dead Link Removed and never have to worry about oiling a filter ever again.

Sage advice.

I'm ordering one of these today... I don't like the idea of oil causing an expensive repair. All I need is the part number from the K&N filter I have and cross reference with the AMSOIL product number? (I asked a gentleman at a local Kragen if he could help me out with this... He called me "foolish." I told him I was concerned about doing the cleaning myself because NO shop wants to touch it... He said K&N was all I needed. "That's why they're so darn expensive!" I just walked out...) Thanks for posting the link!

Edit: I don't see a part number on the filter.

Easiest way to cross reference is to pull out a tape measure and get the one closest to your existing filter. That's all I did. They've got full dimensions on the Amsoil site and go from there. Start with the internal diameter ("ID") of the flange which limits which filters you can choose from. I found something "close" to the one that came with my Volant kit and it works great.

As above, pull out a tape measure and find the closest one to the one you're using now. Amsoil lists Dead Link Removed of all their filters on the Dead Link Removed.
