Clean Engine Air Filter
The scheduled air filter cleaning interval is
30,000 miles (48,280 km), or if in a dusty envi-
ronment the engine air filter should be checked
periodically to ensure optimal air flow.
Cleaning your engine air filter with the recom-
mended Mopar Performance Air Filter Service
Kit is not required if you can still see any part
the wire screen on the entire air filter regardless
of how dirty it may appear. When any part of the
wire screen is no longer visible on the air filter,
that is an indication it is time to clean the air
filter.
1. Spray the air filter with the recommended
Mopar air filter cleaner and let sit for at
least 10 minutes to loosen dirt, before
rinsing.
NOTE:
Never use strong detergents, high pressure, or
gasoline on air filter.
2. Rinse the air filter with cool low-pressure
water applied from the inside (clean side)
out in order to flush the dirt out of the filter.
Continue to rinse the filter until all traces of
the cleaner have been removed.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to repeat steps 1 and 2 if
the air filter is not completely clean.
3. After rinsing the air filter, gently shake off
the excess water and allow air filter to dry
naturally. Do not apply oil until air filter is
completely dry.
NOTE:
Do not use forced air pressure as it may
damage the filtering capabilities of the filter’s
microfibers and also void its warranty.
4. Using the Mopar Performance Air Filter
Service Kit, spray oil evenly along the
crown of each filter pleat holding the
nozzle about 3 inches (76 mm) away from
the air filter. One spray per 2 square inches
(1,290 square mm) of air filter. With one
complete coat of oil, let it wick (saturate)
for about 20 minutes, and if required touch
up any light areas on either side of the
filter.

tioner should be checked and serviced by an

The air induction system (air cleaner, hoses,

the case of engine backfire. Do not remove
the air induction system (air cleaner, hoses,
etc.) unless such removal is necessary for
repair or maintenance. Make sure that no
one is near the engine compartment before
starting the vehicle with the air induction
system (air cleaner, hoses, etc.) removed.
Failure to do so can result in serious personal
injury.
