The K&N 33-5034 is a reusable panel air filter for the 2.4L L4 gas engine in the Jeep Renegade. The manufacturer describes it as layered, oiled cotton gauze media that is meant to improve airflow while still trapping contaminants, and it is engineered to drop into the factory airbox. This is a direct swap for the stock paper element, not a new intake system.
Instead of discarding a paper element at each service, you clean and re-oil this one. The manufacturer's stated cleaning interval is about 75,000 miles of normal highway driving, and it carries a no-hassle lifetime limited warranty with limitations that apply. Because the manufacturer lists coverage for 2015 through 2021 Renegades with this engine, the same element suits several model years. That makes it a long-term value for buyers searching for a 2015 Renegade 2.4L washable air filter, a K&N drop-in cotton gauze filter, or a Renegade 2.4L high-flow replacement.
The manufacturer lists this filter for the Jeep Renegade L4-2.4L F/I from 2015 through 2021. Confirm your engine code before ordering, since the listing covers only the 2.4L engine.
No. The manufacturer states the filter is pre-oiled and ready to drop into the factory air box.
The manufacturer's stated interval is about 75,000 miles under normal highway driving. Published intervals vary, so confirm the recommendation with the manufacturer for your driving conditions.
The manufacturer rates this as an easy DIY job that takes about 5 to 10 minutes with a screwdriver. Owners on user forums report that the airbox lid is held by three Phillips screws, and that the filter lifts out once the lid is off. Before dropping the new filter in, vacuum out the airbox, as forum members recommend, so debris does not reach the intake. Because the filter arrives pre-oiled, you can install it as packaged.
