2003-2016 Subaru K&N Replacement Air Filter Meets Vehicle's Clean-Air Needs
- 9 mai 2016
Raise your hand if you or your service shop have changed your car's air filter this year. Why might we not be seeing a big show of hands? Today's fuel-injected engines are so efficient and carbureted engines are so decreasingly prevalent, air filter service is not top of mind. Generally replacing or cleaning the air filter is called for about every 50,000 miles, or about every four years, depending on driving conditions. For the millions of us who have a 2003-2016 Subaru as a daily driver, air filter service is certainly not a daily concern. In the American southwest and drier regions of South America, Asia, Australia, and North Africa we may think about it a bit more. Or, if we're doing some club racing or local rally driving, we are certainly attuned to the clean-air needs of our Subi's naturally aspirated flat four-cylinder boxer and turbocharged diesels. For many years, K&N has made performance products available for Subaru vehicles from model years 1998 through 2011 worldwide, for engines from the 1.8L through 3.6L, and the 2.0L hybrid. Today K&N is also manufacturing the 33-2304 replacement air filter for the range of Subaru vehicles built from 2003 to 2016 (see the K&N applications list below and online). That's a lot of cars now able to benefit from K&N's unique and effective air filter design and engineering, something they've been perfecting since the 1960s.
Now, when it comes time to service the air filter, more than 230 models of Impreza, WRX, Outback, Legacy, Crosstrek, Forester, and Tribeca (plus certain Chrysler 300C and Fiat Thema diesels), the washable, reusable K&N 33-2304 replacement air filter can be the part of choice. These distinctive all-wheel drive vehicles, all aimed at efficiency while being fun to drive, can be found everywhere on the world stage. Be it the Outback performing family wagon duties; the Legacy offering comfortable commutes; or the Tribeca spiriting you and six friends to the slopes for ski weekends, Subaru will be there. Dream of your Forester crossover crossing the Sahara in the Dakar; envision your WRX burning up a Formula Drift course; imagine your Impreza sedan sidling up to the Prada store on Rodeo Drive, then give it fresh-flowing air with the 33-3204. It is designed to give your car better acceleration, boost the horsepower, and provide better filtration than the stock filter, without voiding a new-vehicle warranty. Its 10-Year/Million-Mile Warranty make it the last replacement air filter you'll need.
The airboxes on most of these vehicles are easily found in the front of the engine compartment (consult your owner's manual, and the installation instructions). They have clip closures on top and the intake hose doesn't need to be removed. The stock filter is removed and the K&N dropped back into the space. It is that simple. Mark your calendar and when it's time to clean the filter, use K&N's 90-5000 filter care service kit. The recommended time frame is about every 50,000 miles, under normal highway driving conditions, but servicing can be performed more frequently if you got your wish to run that rally. The cotton gauze filter material can be sprayed with K&N's Power Kleen cleaner, rinsed, dried, and sprayed with recharging oil before replacing it in the airbox. With this maintenance system you won't fill up the landfill with disposable filters and your Subaru will be breathing deeply for years to come. The following Subaru, Fiat, and Chrysler models can be fitted with the K&N 33-2304 replacement air filter: You can view all the K&N performance products for any vehicle by using the Search by Vehicle tool and you can find a local K&N retailer by plugging your location into the K&N Dealer Search as well. |
