Product Description

Originally developed for demanding auto race applications, our premium oil filter is rapidly becoming a favorite among consumers for its durability and easy removal. We've changed oil filters and several of our product development technicians are sportsman class drag racers. They insisted we offer an oil filter that corrected the headaches they experienced over the years changing oil filters. We have all been there: Whether it's remembering where that disappearing canister tool is; or having oil leak all over your garage and yourself; or finally giving up and pounding a screwdriver through the filter just to get if off. Each of our automotive and marine oil filters comes with a 1 nut welded to the top of the canister so they can be easily wrenched-off with a standard tool. Our motorcycle and ATV oil filters come with a 17 mm nut. Our oil filters use resin impregnated cellulose filter media. This allows for higher flow rates while providing outstanding filtration. High filter flow rates are important in racing vehicles where heavier grade oil is used and the oil is pumped much faster than in a standard vehicle. When the engine is circulating oil at high GPM rates, the high-flow oil filter helps reduce the loss of pressure through the filtering process. To satisfy the demands of racers, our oil filter has many features over and above the requirements of most vehicles. We use thicker canister walls for extra strength and durability which reduces the risk of damage from loose rocks and debris. The heavy-duty construction will withstand higher oil pressures found only in racing environments without bursting. The drilled hole on the nut is for a safety wire attachment. Required for many types of racing, the safety wire prevents blown oil filters from falling on the track and representing a hazard to other race vehicles. This extra engineering offers peace of mind for consumers who want only the best.

Customer Reviews

nice filter
I have been using k&n stuff for over 20 years. The nut on these filters can be a real time saver on some of the import cars like our infiniti g20. as far as filtration thier not quite up to hasting filters

Great filter.
These are very good filters to use and priced right on here. Many tests show to avoid Fram but K&N are made well. The wrench off feature is ok but kind of gimmicky as most just use a standard filter wrench unless you have a close tolerance.

works for G35
This model of K&N works for VQ35DE/ REV UP/ HR and VQ37HR engines as well as 1995-03 Nissan S14 and S15 type SR20DET engines (as well as a quite a few other applications). I use these for my G35 and they filter well and are a breeze to take off. While they are 3-4$ more expensive than the nissan branded filters, the nut is the reason i buy them so they are extremely easy to remove. Also it's gotten good reviews on various oil filter comparison tests.
