Basically all you do is spray the filter with the solution, rinse it, and let it dry (a few hours). Once dry, you re-oil with the K&N oil. Instructions will be included with the filter recharge kit. I have had the same filter recharge kit for years and I've used it on multiple cars.
The filters are guaranteed for 1 million miles (I believe). I've never had one wear out.
I can't recall how often you need to clean and re-oil, but seems like it is every 30-50,000 miles or so. It should tell you in the supplied instructions.
Hope that helps.
Thanks, that helps. So I suppose that $8 recharge kit would last the life time of the car?
