B bykeryder4life Member Dec 16, 2007 #2 Now is a good time dont let it go too long, plus youll kill gas mileage
M Mallitious Member Dec 16, 2007 #3 Instructions says every 20k but I think it would be a good idea to do it before then. I'd do it around 10 to 15k if I were you just to be safe.

I have the AEM dryflow, so its rinse, dry and put back on. If you have one that needs to be reoiled (spelling?) then you have to clean it with solution, then reoil it and dry it. There are alot of places online that sell the cleaning kits.

S shalezoom3 Member : Mazda 3 Dec 18, 2007 #10 I believe it does come a solution, but i don't believe its required to clean it. It just helps get some of the excess dirt out of the filter.

S Sierra117 Member : 2007 Mazda Mazdaspeed3 GT Dec 18, 2007 #12 The instructions on mine said to just tap it clean.
M Mallitious Member Dec 18, 2007 #13 Seems like it would be a hard thing to get at to take off. Is there an easy way to get at the CAI without having to go to too much trouble? (uhm)

The instructions say to use both bottles for one cleaning. You can get more from AEM or your friendly Mazdaspeed dealer. I got mine from Tonkin.
