Take it off and look to see if it has any logo on it. From the pics, it looks like a ebay no-name generic filter which are non-cleanable. Toss that out and get a real K&N filter.

probably between 50-100.

lordco can bring in whatever size you need. you just gotta measure the opening where it mounts to the intake, and the diameter of the filter at the top and bottom shoulders, and then the total length of the filter.

use this page to figure out what filter you need, and then call lordco and order that PN. http://www.knfilters.com/search/univcone.aspx

i can help you with that if you're in coquitlam

No, they aren't standard sizes. Measure the diameter of the opening that fits your pipe.
Also, measure how long and wide the filter is.

honestly looks like a dry filter to me, the K&N wet oil filters have a red dye in the oil.

do you know the brand of intake/filter you got?
