Corolla + CAI = Oil Change More Often (Update: getting K&N PreCharger)


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Do those people that havea CAI change their oil more often in case more particles are getting through etc?

I have seen Danthuyer's cleaning guide:

Do people out there think the K&N filter cleaning products are the better ones to use? or the TRD ones?

Also i have noticed people saying they use the K&N RX-3900-1 filter:

I quite like the larger look of the TRD one not to mention it's shape which means that it gets less wet (car wash) due to it's upside gown tree shape ;-). Is is really worth the change/upgrade from your experiences? If so has anyone got a K&N shaped like the standard TRD one (see link below)?

Thank you for any comments,

I believe the k & n enables better flow apparently man. Blitz have a similar shape with their SR (stubby) and it's freakin amazing. I think that's it tho.

you shouldn't need to change your oil any more often than a normal intake system. if your gettin junk in your oil, you should get a better CAI no questions asked...thinks its abit obvious to ask a question like tht! abit of common sense i reckon! btw i run a k&n pod on my car...does wonders but it works better than the panel!

Ahhh another "Army of Darkness" fan ;-) what a cult classic. Yep "...it's a double barrel remington and retails for 129.99 in sports department...it's got cobalt blue steel..." that's all i can remember right now!!! How cool would it be to have achainswa on one hand LOL make gardening a lot easier hehehehehe

Cheers for your replies. I will look into getting a K&N when the time comes to take the TRD one off for a clean so i can get measurements.

See i forgot to get the installation instructions from the mechanic when it was installed. And so far it's running OK.

Some advice for those driving in dusty areas: i do every now and then so i'm getting a K&N "PreCharger" which is a polyester bag that goes over the pod and captures some more of the dust particles and means that the pod doesn't get as badly clogged as quickly.

Bye.
