Do any of you want to order the Injen recharge kit?

http://injenonline.com/cgi-bin...e=COK

That's the link to it. It's cheap, only 16.90, but they kill you with shipping. It's 16.07 to ship UPS ground. And I was playing with it and it's about 0.15 cents more in shipping for every additional kit you buy. So if at least one more person wants to split costs with me, that's 8 bucks saved.

Obviously you have to be local or the saved costs in shipping is wasted in gas. Let me know if anyone wants in. If no one wants in by this time tomorrow I'm just gonna bite the bullet and order one for myself.

I could do it but why don't you just drive up to Injen and pick it up if they will allow you to. There are in Pomona. I know for sure I'm due for a cleaning so count me in if you do this. I live in Temecula and if you wanna meet up theres a Buffalo Wild WIngs meet up here on Saturday if you like to come with it (that is if it arrives in time).

I just checked their FAQ.

23. Sorry, we do not sell direct to the public. You may contact any authorized dealer to assist you. For a dealer nearest you visit our Dealer List on the Website.

I'm gonna check with an authorized dealer nearby though.

Injen FAQ wrote:16. We highly recommend that you only use Injen Technology oil and cleaner. Injen Technology air filter is a specific mineral oil blended with special polymers to form a very efficient tack barrier. Standard petroleum products such as transmission fluid and motor oil will soften and destroy the filter bonding agents and sealed edges. Injen cleaner is a non-detergent degreaser. Solvents, gasoline and various house hold chemicals will harden the rubber seals causing the filter to distort and may affect the ability of cotton fibers to function properly. A mild detergent can be used in an emergency situation, but care should be taken to fully rinse and remove the soap. Removing soap from the filter can be extremely difficult or time consuming. Always ensure the filter is completely dry before re-oiling.

yeah, I just bought a cleaning kit for my intake as well... will probably clean it this sunday as that's the only time I have that I can spare my car not being used for an hour or so while the intake is drying (I'm gonna use a blow dryer, but still) n-e-way, in San Diego folks wanna setup an intake cleaning day this weekend, hit me up!

Absolutely.. actually any oiling kit will work.. some use red, blue, etc. The oil color will determine your filter color. You could hit up AFE or I'm sure JWT has blue if that suits your fancy..



We can get the Injen's if you'd like. The problem with cost sometimes can be with the shipping in of a product, and then back out. We eat the cost if it's a bigger item, but it can be a pain on the cheap stuff unless we package it in with another order. We may have some in stock, I'd have to check, but not a problem, especially for pickup if it helps..

Thanks Josh and I will call Dean tomorrow to see if you guys have any in stock...but the K&N WILL work so I can just use that and I really don't care about the red color of the filter...eventually I will buy a Blue prefilter to cover my intake anyways for shows. I appreciate the help.

Yup, K&N filter cleaner is what I used for my previous car. You can even clean it with water just turn on the shower in your bathroom and rinse away and let it sit to dry before putting it back into the car.

You can clean it with water.. but you MUST reapply oil to the filter to keep it's filtering capabilities..

A non-oiled filter is NOT something you want to use.. don't clean it if you don't have a recharge kit ready to go..

Out of topic, well i think it is anyways, but josh i just received my injen filter, but when i went to replace it, the filter i received from you guys is much bigger than the one i have now in my car. Does the size matter? just wondering before i actually replace my filter. My car is 07 altima sedan 2.5s cvt, if that matters. Thanks for the help

Arrgh.. I totally screwed you.. the 2.5L and 3.5L are different by just a touch.

INJX1015BR - 3.5LINJX1014BR - 2.5L

I'm having Margaret get in touch with you ASAP to get a replacement.

I sincerely apologize, I read the post above mine in the previous thread where it listed a 3.5L.. not on your post of course.

I'm sorry!

No.. each mfg can use differing forms of filter technology.

Both AEM and Fujita use a dry air filter.. Injen and K&N use oiled filters.

Hit the mfg website for any others or their instructions.

You definitely don't want to oil a dry filter..

Whenever it gets dirty?

Usually once a month. Take the filter off, if you can barely see light through it then clean it.

I usually take a look at it every other time I get my oil changed. It depends on your climate and driving habits though.

Okay, dumb question time... anyone know what type of oil is used in the recharge kits?

I ask, because shipping to here would exceed the cost of the product! I bought two filters and it's time to clean the first and get it back on.
