• The original Hyundai SeasAll air cleaner may be
cleaned and reused.
• If the air filter is very dirty, it can increase airflow
resistance and reduce the flow of air to the
engine. This can result in reduced power and
fuel efficiency.
• Cleaning the air filter should be carried out
periodically according to the procedure below.
• Do not clean the filter element with gasoline or
other solvents.
• Remove the air filter from engine.
• Put the air filter on a flat surface and shake
dust out.
• Liberally spray K&N Air Filter Cleaner onto both
sides of the filter and allow to soak for 15
minutes to loosen the dirt.
• Wash out the dust with low pressure running
water from the inside toward the outside.
• Dry the wet air filter in the shade for 2 to 3
hours. You can reduce drying time by blowing
with a hair dryer on COLD or by blowing with
low pressure compressed air.
(CAUTION)
Do not use high pressure air, high
pressure water or hot air to clean and/or dry the
air filter. These can damage the performance of
the air filter.
• Apply air cleaner oil over the outside of the
filter. If too much oil is applied, it will reduce
performance.
• Reassemble air filter to engine.
