We have been successfully married for 35 years, BUT we have had a "few" of those days also...LOL...usually when I have bought a boat, or a sports car or one of my 2 motorcycles that I brought home...oh ya, without discussing in advance (bad memory)...makes for a quiet weekend.LOL. BUT, she's a keeper!

I know they make different color oil for the filters. My filter for my car was originally blue so when I added the K&N oil it was splotchy purple in some spots.

Look around and see if you can find any other kind of oil?

I do have a rain sock, have not used it yet. That's a good idea to see if they have a pink one
Peg they make filter oil in lots of different colors ,red,blue,green purple etc. I just have not seen pink. A K&N filter is white cotton guaze after its clean and dried.The only thing that makes it red is the oil.

I would get the K&N filter cleaner.Follow the directions, clean and let it dry real good. Then go to town on it with your pink dye.After I would use the clear oil to oil the filter ex Summit Racing pt # SUM-239364. I see no reason this would not give you great PINK results.

The only thing I am not sure of. When its time to clean/recharge the filter again, if the cleaner would wash the dye off.I doubt it would though. Good Luck
