ARC Intake Filters
ARC seems to have changed the filter material in their air induction air boxes. I think it used to be a pleated fabric type but now it is a red foam. Does anyone have any information on the performance difference between the two setups? Is the red foam as good?

I don't know of anything you can do to "maintain" them, other than washing them out periodically. I assume that if/when they begin to degrade, you simply replace them.

How long do these foam filters last? I tried using Google to translate ARC's airbox webpage. The translation is kind of weak. It seems to indicate that you must clean the sponge/foam every 5000 km (3000 mi) with a mild detergent and then add a proprietary oil??? It then seems to say the sponge must be replaced after 2 - 3 times??
Does this sound reasonable?
