Good guide, if installing K/N breather be prepared for a battle. Almost seems as though it won't fit, however, a little elbow grease will get it done.

There is really no advantage, but potential disadvantages to going to an oiled style replacement filter. Use the OEM or buy a Wix/NAPA Gold replacement.

After my first attempt at changing the air filter I discovered that the most difficult part was pulling the filter back into its final position. Two attempts later i slipped a small cable tie through the screw hole on the filter, made a loop and used this to pull the filter back into position, then cut the cable tie and fitted the screw to secure the filter. Much easier than trying to get my large digits behind the filter and saves pulling on the pleats
