Replacing air filter on cold air intake - reset ECU?
The car had a cold air intake installed when I bought it but I have no idea the brand or amount of time the filter has been on so I bought a k&n to place it.
Should I reset the ECU for this simple change or should it be okay to just swap it and run with it?
edit: im also going from winter to spring seasons in Michigan and ive read its wise to also reset on seasonal changes too to get the proper readings for best efficiency, is this also true?
Thanks

Not true, the ECU has to go through several "cycles" to calibrate itself. A cycle consists of starting the car, driving up to operating temp, and shutting the engine off again until cool. Rinse and repeat.
