how often are u suppose to clean a AEM cold air intake???

its been almost three years since i bought the intake for my mazda 6 and up to now i havn‘t cleaned it am i damaging my ride.???

The air filter's on most of these cold-air intakes are called wet filters, meaning that they are lubricated and feel slippery when you put it on. They usually require a special cleaning agent, but I'm assuming you can go to VIP or NAPA or AutoZone and pick up the K N filter cleaning kit and use it without a problem. I've installed cold-air intakes on 4 of our company trucks and a Saab 9-5 Aero and all of them told me 3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first for cleaning the air filter. Don't worry about the intake tube itself, there shouldn't be anything in there. Just remember to put a non-paper rag into the intake tube so that nothing gets inside of it when you have the filter off. Just pick up the K N cleaning kit and follow the directions. I've done it a few times, it's pretty easy. Good Luck!
