The K&N RE-0960 is a universal clamp-on air filter with an oval straight, tapered body, cotton gauze media, and a metal top. Its flange has a 2.438 in (62 mm) inside diameter and a 0.625 in (16 mm) length, so it slips onto a matching intake tube instead of requiring a model-specific airbox. The manufacturer says the molded rubber flanges absorb vibration and can stretch up to 1/16 in to bridge sizes between standard diameters. Because the filter is washable and reusable, a buyer can clean and re-oil it rather than buying a disposable paper element each service interval. The manufacturer lists a re-oiling amount of 0.59 oz (18 ml). Owners on user forums caution that high-flow gauze can pass finer grit than paper in dusty conditions, so off-road or dirt-track use calls for more frequent inspection or a pre-filter.
Searching for a 2-7/16 inch flange oval tapered air filter, a washable clamp-on intake filter with 6 inch height, or a RE-0960 cotton gauze universal intake element will point to this part. Its base measures 4.5 x 3.75 in (114 x 95 mm) and its top measures 3.5 x 2.5 in (89 x 64 mm), so fit depends on the intake tube diameter and the space available around the filter. Published fitment information for this universal filter varies, so confirm the flange diameter, intake tube size, and clearance for your application with the manufacturer before ordering.
No. This is a universal clamp-on filter with a rubber flange, so it mounts onto an intake tube or adapter with a 2.438 in inside diameter. The manufacturer says the flange can stretch up to 1/16 in, but it does not replace a model-specific airbox element. Confirm the intake dimensions with the manufacturer before ordering.
The manufacturer lists a re-oiling amount of 0.59 oz (18 ml). Use an oil made for K&N filters and apply it evenly to the gauze.
The manufacturer's universal filter literature suggests cleaning about every 75,000 miles under normal highway driving. Owners on user forums recommend checking more often in dusty or gravel conditions.
Installation is typically a moderate, DIY-friendly job that needs basic hand tools for the intake clamps or airbox clips. The manufacturer's general install tips for its replacement filters note that fit can be tight, so disconnecting the intake tube can make it easier to maneuver the airbox lid. Make sure the filter is fully seated in the lid or housing before closing it. K&N's install guidance also says the clips may need more pressure than with an OEM foam seal, so stop and recheck if the airbox bends. Keep every screw and clip in place, since a missing fastener can let unfiltered air bypass the element. Owners on user forums report that clamp-on filters may need firm pushing to seat against frame members, so check the rubber flange for distortion after mounting.
