thx for the help.

I know you are in Africa, but here in America we have k&n in pretty much all the auto parts stores.

Why the rush? Cheapest will be on ebay. I paid R500 from autoparts.titan1

Agreed , also look into the Blitz filter which does not require re-oiling when you clean it, it's around $40

K&N drop in filter can be bought from ATS Motorsport in Randburg
Make sure you call them before you go there thou, not sure of their operating hours on a weekend

Great. Thx guys.

Also try Autostyle, they sell BMC and K&N if I'm not mistaken. 86 takes the same filter as some Corollas.

Just bought a K&N filter.

Just one question the guy I bought it from said it's pre-oiled, is that true? Must I oil it?

thx for the help.

The KN filter is already oiled from the box and you just pop it in. If I remember correctly, the filter material is white after you wash it, and the KN filter oil is red, hence red color after you oil up a freshly washed and dried one.

Okay so I put the filter in at work so that I can test it on the way home from woodmead to centurion.

All I can say is wow!!

The car breathes better, top end power increase is very noticeable and acceleration is way better.

Would definitely recommend it.

Do you guys know how much the cleaning kit for the K&N filters cost and if its available in SA? (If so where can you purchase this locally) Or International order?
