I just inherited my 95 Zetec this summer to bring back to school, so I don't really know if and when it was last replaced, so how do I know if it needs to be replaced/cleaned now? And how much should it run me to have a K&N Air Filter put in? Thanks for the help. Rob T. 95 Ford Contour GL Zetec Engine Inherited from my dad, so no mods at all. One sweet ride though!

You probably don't know when u father last changed his filter.. right ?? So I would check... see if it is clean and all that... it is very easy to check that... Like i said,.... i changed mine last year and this year when I went to remove it to install the CTA was pretty dirty.. Anything is POSSIBLE... sowing the seeds of love"

If it looked dirty, I just changed it regardless of mileage. -Ken V. 1998.5 SE Praire Tan Zetec ATX psycho_bass@hotmail.com Roush springs Roush rear sway bar BAT struts 17" Millie Miglia HT3 and a ton of subtle asthetic mods

(that's just my car tho, after 2 oil changes it still wasn't that dirty at all!!!) The cost of my K&N filter was $40.00 and you don't need to clean those out for around 40-50k miles.Plus they have a million mile warranty!
