I have been using K&N in all my car since 2005. I don't live in dusty area, so I have no problem with it.
Instead of cleaning it every 50,000 miles. I just put a new one in every time.

I have used K&N filters for years, in motorcycles, and they are truly a great product. I intend to use them in my RXes as soon as I don’t get the free ones anymore. Like Skygc, I don’t bother cleaning and re-oiling them, I just replace the filter when it is time.

Lol is that cheaper? Replace them instead of cleaning and oiling? I had it on my old car it was such a hassle. I love the AEM ones but they dont have the size for the RX

so how often are you replacing them? Even 50k miles? Cleaning sounds like a pain in the ***. might be easier just to replace. Would make sense to repalce every 50k miles but not 15k like a paper filter.

I'm using aFe Pro Dry on my 16 RX. It's easy to clean and doesn't use oil.

K&N 33-2455 vs 2016 RX 450H Fsport
33-2455 is for RX350
