From what I can tell, when it turns red, replace the filter.

Although I never waited that long

When it turns red the air is restricted to the point that you have pressure buildup....

Like Chris said... if it is red you waited too long....

K&N sucks.... I wouldn't put a K&N on a yugo.... don't believe me... put something like a coffee filter on the inside and see what it looks like...

I just replaced mine.... the meter was green... the filter was black... Napa Gold 6889 Lists for $129.79

I also bought a cabin air filter... Napa 4814 lists for $42.48

The one on your fresh air intake for the HVAC..... I can take a picture this weekend if you need help locating it....
