OTRCAI - Cleaning frequency

[QldKev]

I was talking with the local performance shop about a getting an OTRCAI. He said they are excellent for flow, but you need to service them every 1,000 km. Is this true, how often does every one service their OTRCAI?

edit: Would this be the same for a Growler or K&N filter panel?

edit2: The 5,00km should be 5,000km...

I dont run OTR but every 1,000km sounds a bit excessive. Depends what sort of environment you are driving it though, if your driving down dirt roads then yes you prob would. Otherwise 5-10,000km would be ok.

No, an OTR is far more exposed so will need cleaning more often than an 'enclosed' filter

I recently cleaned my growler and it wasnt that dirty. I cant imagine the previous owner did it, so I'm guessing around 20,000kms since it was new.

1k seems a bit much but every few months for sure

Depends where you live/drive. When I had an OTR on (Orssom), living in the country I was picking up a heap of bugs. I was cleaning the K&N filter in the OTR approx every 750-1000km. Some people may think that's excessive but why have a dirty air filter when you don't have to? It takes all of 10min to clean and re-oil an OTR filter.

I pop the bonnet every now and then and if its dirty, i just blow some air through it, Maybe once a month?

I take the filter out maybe monthly and give it a tap to get rid of the loose crap and give it a clean and oil every 5000k's.

Thanks to everyone who has responded; looks like the OTRCAI is worth the go for the ext few HP it give. Thanks again..
