bro,

It's in Union place. If you're coming from Salaka side, Turn to you left just after after you pass Hilton & drive straight for about 200 meters.

Also I think some suppliers in eBay will be shipping to SL. I got pair of bulbs for my honda from eBay but don't have any experience with air filters. Have a look around.

cheers!

Guys what are the products I can use to clean K&N air filters? What are the good brands?

I've got K&N washable air filter in my E30. Cleaning process seems straight forward according to below link. So I guess its a basic DIY job.

I actually brought a cleaning set from ebay since i dont know anyone who brings them here.

Komisiripala · December 27, 2013

Doesn't m0torcade stock them? And did you get the oil spray bottle? As in the oil aerosol? How does that ship to sri Lanka if so? Because afaik pressurized aerosols can't be airlifted due to risk of explosion.

phenix_lk · December 28, 2013

Well i brought is couple of days back. if i get it will let u know

Not really.K&N sent me a recharger kit along with their filters which included a pressurized spray can.DHL delivered it in 4 days no problem.The package was inspected by customs too.

Well that's good to hear.

MkX · December 28, 2013

Sent Mot^cade a FB message asking if they have the product. Will see.

It was 8.00pm. I didn't wanted to call them at that time. Just send the PM to see if they gonna reply or not. And you not jump in to quick judgements.

I wouldn't hold my breath about them replying to the FB message.. Best thing to do is make a call, they are rather old fashioned in the way they go about things.

MkX · December 30, 2013

I was busy at work today and just went online. There was a message from Motor cade, saying it's out of stock but if I visit they'll do a free cleaning using the kit they already have at their place.

Sorry for pulling up this old thread as this will be the only way I can clarify this question which was pondering in my mind for some time.

MkX, since you have been using a filter for sometime, can you kindly enlighten me on the durability & performance of the K&N Filter when compared to the genuine filters? I'm thinking of getting down a K&N Air Filter for my Honda Insight.

I too ordered a K&N drop-in filter off ebay. Then I found this:

Many use cold air intakes to increase the performance but i'm not sure its DIY job. Long story short - car dealerships don't fix cold air intakes any more saying that in some cases this cause to give check engine light. Check below article about check engine light, notice that it says 'A properly installed K&N product should not cause the Service Light to illuminate.'. So if you plan to use it better to be installed by a good technician. Also be the same when it comes to cleaning it.

Seriously?

Anyway, cold air intakes might be a whole another story. But I reckon the thread context was about drop-ins or the short rams at most, which basically is DIY.
