>What kind of oil do you use and how much of it? The K&N brand Recharger kit. I bought one 3 years ago and still have much of it left. $18 maybe? I figure that their oil and their filter probably go together best. They have a pump spray bottle of of cleaner in there. Tap filter on corner to knock off any large material. Spray and soak with cleaner. Hose out. Allow to dry (NO compressed air they say). Reoil. Reinstall. I cleaned mine at 30K and reoiled it. I am due again soon I guess at 60K miles (which is now). I reoiled it at 5K intervals with the oil change. This is a stock CR-V running Mobil 1 oil. Hoping to see big miles on this engine as I have routinely seen 200K+ out of previous Hondas. My last Accord is running around with 275K miles on the original engine, and it has never been opened up for repairs.
