K&N High-Flow Engine Air Filter 33-3005 for 2012–2026 Audi (Washable, Reusable)

Replace your disposable paper filter with a durable K&N unit built to last the life of your vehicle. This pre-oiled, multi-layer cotton gauze filter boosts airflow (up to 50% in controlled tests) while still capturing contaminants. It slips into the factory air box for a simple install and reduces recurring filter purchases and landfill waste by being washable and reusable.

How will this air filter affect my car’s performance?

The K&N High-Flow filter is engineered to improve throttle response and maintain higher airflow than many stock paper elements. That can translate to smoother acceleration and more consistent engine breathing under load, while still providing particle filtration.

• State-of-the-art media designed to increase horsepower and acceleration.
• Multi-layer cotton gauze captures contaminants while allowing greater airflow.
• Tested on racetracks and road conditions for real-world durability.

How often do I need to clean it and what is involved?

K&N recommends cleaning the engine air filter about every 75,000 miles under normal highway driving—rougher or dusty conditions require more frequent attention. Cleaning is straightforward using K&N cleaning and oil kits; the filter is pre-oiled at purchase so it’s ready to install immediately.

• Normal interval: roughly every 75,000 miles under typical highway use.
• Use K&N cleaning and oil kits for best results and longevity.
• Reusable design avoids frequent disposable filter replacements.
