Testing and Maintenance
Engage parking brake and start your engine.
•
Listen for abnormal noises. If an air leak is
detected, re-inspect hoses and connections as
they may need to be repositioned and tightened.
S&B Filters recommends that you keep your OE
•
intake system in the event it is required in the
future.
In order to maintain your warranty, all connections
•
and components must be checked periodically for
alignment and for proper tension on all
connections every 6-12 months. Failure to do so
may void your warranty.
Use only S&B FILTERS cleaning and oil products
•
to service your filter. Using any other brand oil
and or cleaners on your S&B air filter will void
your warranty.
