Cleaning F-Sport Intake Filter (How many miles?)

Title says it all... how many mile intervals should we be cleaning our F-Sport reusable filters?

15K ? 30K ?

Haven't seen one yet, but I'm ordering the intake tomorrow. I'd say if it's anything like the K&N, 10-15k would be my first guess.

straight from the installation manual:

Air Filter Maintenance
Service Intervals: Service your F-Sport air
filter element with F-Sport's filter cleaning
kit (Lexus p/n PTR03-53085) at the Lexus
recommended service intervals to maintain
optimum performance.

If you live in a region with extremely fine
dust (arid or desert climates for example);
follow the Lexus recommended service
schedule for driving on dirt roads or dusty
roads.

i drove around my car with the F sport for about 2-3k , yesterday i took the intake apart and the filter still looks brand new. i live in the bay area by the way, so not very dusty environment.
