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.

Same K&N performance as always I have ran K&N filters for many years now in a multitude of vehicles. I’ve never had some of the problems that people have complained about (oil leaking out of the top nut, etc.). What I have noticed is that this filter was made in Korea. Usually I get the “Made In Mexico” or whatever country it was created in, this one happened to be Korea. I don’t know if I am disappointed or not though. I mean a K&N filter is a K&N filter, but I always thought this was an American made…
I am happy to see their car finally get some loving attention … This fit my In-laws 2004 Yukon Denali XL perfectly. I am happy to see their car finally get some loving attention and quality parts. It is my hope that this filter will catch what might have been missed over the last 160,000 miles.I am so happy to have the Wrench-off model since it is very difficult to reach the oil filter on this vehicle. It will make my life easier during the next oil change.
Perfect Oil Filter for C5 & C6 Corvette’s! Not only are K&N products superior to most other brands, but this oil filter with the built in 1″ nut is perfect on my 2000 Corvette. For you other Vette owners who change your own oil, you’re going to thank me when you don’t have to wrestle an oil filter wrench around your filter (which seems like it’s nearly half way back the entire length of the car!) and try and muscle it off while your Vette is jacked up or on ramps. A 1″ socket on a drive is all you’ll need to easily remove and…
