Maintaining your Sportflo Air Filter made easy |
To ensure maximum performance from your Sportflo airfilter it is recommended that you clean it and oil it every 15000 km. It would be advisable to service the filter more often if the vehicle is used in very dusty conditions. |
The Sportflo filter does not work properly if not oiled regularly. The filter lubricant plays an important role in the “dirt grabbing” function of the air filter. Sportflo Air filters are pre-oiled and ready for use. |
