K&N super flow air cleaner top... any other filter colors?
« on: February 04, 2009 - 02:18:37 PM »
Im on a roll with useless questions today so here is another..  :lol:

I really hate the look of that Giant Pink element on those tops, is there anyway to get that black? I heard its just the refill oil that changes the color.....

Wally,

  The element will stay red for a year or so, then it darkens. I can give you mine.   :lol:  I like the red color myself.

the media is white cotton , the oil is red , the oil turns it pink so if you can find another oil in a different color that si the only way to make it different

As I mentioned above, they darken over time, and almost look dirty. I clean, or re-charge mine every two years to bring the red color back. Supposidly you can go around 50K miles between cleaning, depending on conditions of use...If you weren't anal like me.   :lol:

I know you were kidding about the black top, but I wouldn't buy one.   :grinno:
