WARNING! If your vehicle has a Vehicle Emission Control Information decal affixed to the factory airbox, a
new replacement label must be obtained and installed in a readily visible position in the engine compartment in
order to remain CARB compliant. Failure to do so will prevent the vehicle from passing a smog check. Replace­ment labels can be ordered from your local dealership. Regulations state that the VECI label shall not be affixed to
any equipment which is easily detached from the vehicle. Label placement, under the hood on a painted surface is
recommended.

Synthamax Air Filters do not require oil.
Service air filter as needed by cleaning with
common non-petroleum all-purpose house­hold cleaner and water. Simple Green®,
Formula 409® or equivalent works great.
Apply cleaner to outside of air filter and
allow to soak. Then flush filter clean from
the inside out with a garden hose and re­peat steps if necessary. Do not apply high
pressure water or air to clean filter. Allow
filter to air dry and reinstall.
