Using your Perrin two - piece replacement filter is a breeze. First, make sure your vehicle is turned off and cooled down. Locate your intake system and carefully remove the old filter. Then, install the new Perrin filter in its place. When it comes to cleaning, you can easily take out the foam filter element. Just run it under a regular faucet with some mild soap and gently ring it out by hand. Once it's dry, slip the foam sleeve back over the filter frame. Note that it's important to let the filter dry completely before reinstalling it. For maintenance, check the filter regularly, especially if you drive in dusty or dirty conditions. The filter comes with a 5 - year manufacturer warranty, but proper care will ensure it lasts even longer.
