Member 1,742 Member For: 16y 6m 15d Gender: Male Location: Earth Posted 22/06/09 01:27 PM Share Posted 22/06/09 01:27 PM Mines done 24000kms and has been cleaned twice since new.Both times there was no evidence of any buildup or contamination so I'll be leaving it until I've done another 24000kms.If you chose to clean your filter every six months so be it, but from what I've done with mine I won't be doing it as regularly as it isn't required.It just takes a bit of finess to get it out without breaking it.But yes, it is a PITA to do.
