Bringing my .2 Manual in for its 2 year service and would like to know what would be the best/improved recommended Air filter to have installed. Just looking for a "plug and play" that will be swapped out for new set in another 2 years.- Thanks

 

I like the BMC F1 filters...

 

BMC

 

Thanks all

 

Youre keeping it ?

 

BMC filters are definitely a better filter and come with the RS if iircc. Does the DME adapt to the increased flow; is that even a consideration?

I ask as I am doing my 2 year service as well.

 

For 2 years (without pulling the bumper to clean in between), I’d stay with the stock paper ones. Unless you drive very few miles...

With the cleanable filters like BMC, I think it’s better to clean them fairly often (they flow worse than paper once they get a little dirty)

 

Agree, I just changed mine and they were filthy. I will now change them every oil change.

 

I installed BMC about 4k miles ago. What’s the procedure for cleaning them?

 

You can probably find out on their website. I’ve used K&N and they have cleaning solution and oil. Not sure if BMC is the same.

Edit - found this:

 

thanks. Hadn’t got that far yet with mine. Some links for anyone interested.

Thanks for posting

 

go and buy 2 new ones ... your engine deserves it ... its a false economy and a waste of your valuable time ... IMO YMMV

 

I have to get the 2 year service done anyway so I figured I would upgrade the Filters.-minimal expense

But nothing is done until it is done and Spring is right around the corner

 

I would agree. Either way PM me your info id love to check it out if u keep it.
