I did a search and didn't find what I was looking for. I have heard some people talk about grease for this filter when you put it in the stock air box. I was wondering if Lubriplate 105 would work. I you this when rebuilding engines. If not what would you recommend?<br><br>Thanks,<br> Scooter

 

Personaly I'd just use a Scotty II. <br><br>Seriously though, I think any grease designed to be used around plastic/silicone parts and is fairly high-temp should be OK.<br><br>Or you can use their &quot;special&quot; sealing grease. <br>http://www.knfilters.com/clningacc.htm<br><br>Ed

 

ShovelHead, will I get better preformance with a Scotty in hush mode than I would with the K&amp;N?

Thanks Eddie, I will order one in the A.M..<br>Scooter

 

I used the K&amp;N for two years, no complaints other that the frustration about greasing the stock airbox to try to get it to seal properly.<br><br>Now using the Scotty II, fit is superb, no sealing problems, and even running unloaded at highway speeds I see a 50* reduction in EGTs.<br>Also, as I add more Mods, I know the intake side is ready to accept them.<br><br>Ed

 

can anyone tell me the procedure for cleaning the K&amp;N filter, how often it should be cleaned, (instructions say 50k miles) and where do you buy the scotty filter?<br><br>thanks,<br>david

I have seen the Rubber seal area break down and crumble.<br><br>The Trick I was using before I upgraded to &quot;Scotty Airs&quot; boxes and &quot;AFE&quot; filters was to Buy small vacuum line 1/8&quot; then cut it in half lengthwise and Glue it with weatherstrip glue to the Rib that runs around the bottom half of the oem airbox.<br><br>This way you will not need the Grease as the K&amp;N filter is <br>lifted up tight against the oem lid.<br><br>You can always pull the hose piece off if you change to a AFE in the oem box.
