How often do you remove, clean, and re-oil your cold air intake? (PRL Cobra)

[Toolace]

For those of you with the PRL Cobra or similar cold air intakes located in front wheel wells, what’s your maintenance look like for it?

It’s kind of a pain to remove the cone filter now that it’s in the front wheel well, but given the location, I’d imagine it gets dirty faster than a typical intake pulling from the engine bay.

I know this likely depends on use case or how much you drive the car, but any general recommendations would be appreciated.

I think recommendation is every 20k, that’s about what I aim for with my PRL.

Every other oil change for me. I keep a spare filter ready to go all the time. Just quicker to change without having to clean and oil in one go.

I run a dry SRI and clean it when it’s dirty.
