Cleaning your DryTech 3D
One of the benefits of using a DryTech 3D filter is that you can clean and reuse it. Depending on driving and environmental conditions; the filter will become caked with dirt and require cleaning. It is recommended to clean the filter on your CORSA Intake at least two times a year. Replacement filters are available through CORSA. Also, if you experience a sudden decrease in mileage or engine performance, the filter will need to be cleaned.
DO NOT OIL! Oiling your Dry filter will ruin its effectiveness and require immediate replacement.
Step 1: Vacuum
Vacuum free debris from the surface of the filter.
Step 2. Remove
Remove the filter from your air intake and tap it on a hard surface to remove any loose dirt.
Step 3. Spray
Liberally spray the filter with filter cleaner and allow it to soak in for about 10 minutes. Avoid petroleum based products because they will soften and destroy sealing edges.
Step 4. Rinse
Rinse off the dirt from the inside of the filter out. Never use high pressure nozzles or air; they could tear and distort the cotton gauze media.
Step 5. Dry
Allow the filter to air dry in a clean area. Never use applied heat or an air vent to dry the filter. Do NOT reinstall a wet or damp filter. The oiled filter must be completely dry before it is installed.
