Always replace the secondary element. Do not attempt to reuse it by cleaning. Engine damage could result.
Note: Replace the secondary filter element when you service the primary element for the third time. If a clean primary element has been installed and the filter element indicator still enters the red zone, replace the secondary filter element. Also if the exhaust smoke remains black and a clean primary filter element has been installed, replace the secondary filter element.
