OTR Intake filter clean Frequency

[Nanoxcel]

Guys
Not sure what other people do but i decided to clean my filter on my VCM OTR intake after 10,000khs and it was filthy. I am going to change my statergy to do this every 5000khs after i seen the condition of it so if anyone else has one of these i would suggest you check/clean it if you have had it on for this amount of khs. Throttle responce was amazing after cleaning it(funny that)

Oh and be careful pulling the clips i had 2 pop out and fall into my bumper, its a pain to unbolt that front under gauard to get your hands in to retrieve the clips.

i was advised to do it every 7500, haven't done the first one yet though

5000 is a good distance. Depends where you're driving though. If it's very dusty conditions, you'll need to clean it more frequently.

500k's is good i did mine before each service

I do mine every 5000 (vcm mafless otr) when i do the oil and that, just driving around town up here, it wasnt even really dirty last time

Every service. (7500)

I've had my vcm otr for a few months now and was wondering what the easiest way of cleaning the filter would be?
not sure if i can use water on the filter or not?
any advice greatly appreciated.

K&N cleaning kit - if you're using the filter that came with it - pretty sure VCM use K&N sourced filters for their OTRs

Clean freak perhaps!! lmao

as stated general consensus recommends every service but it doesn't hurt to do it whenever
