    How often do you guys with dual air filters change your fiiters? I have heard different intervals from about everybody. When I had a truck with a single filter, I used to change the air filter every other oil change. Just thought I would see what you guys think.

    If you are running over the road about every 100,000 miles.But if you are in a dusty climate then i would check them every other oil change.I chance mine at a 100,000 miles and i run about 160,000 miles a year.

    Check?....if you open the canister, you should change the filter..they have crush type seals and if you re-install them, you won't maintain the seal.

    I change both of mine after winter, then just before winter.....all it takes is a teaspoon of dirt to ruin the motor...just ask any engine dealer...
