The World's Premium Oil Filter

K&N Premium Wrench-Off Oil Filters

Originally developed for demanding auto race applications, their premium automotive oil filter is rapidly becoming a favorite among consumers for its durability and easy removal. They’ve changed oil filters and several of our product development technicians are sportsman class drag racers. Customer insisted they offer an oil filter that corrected the “headaches” they experienced over the years changing oil filters.

Their Oil Filters Have Nuts

They 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. Most of their canister type automotive and marine oil filters come with a 1” nut welded to the top of the canister so they can be easily wrenched-off with a standard tool. Most of our canister type motorcycle and ATV oil filters come with a 17 mm nut.

Durable Construction for Extreme Conditions

To satisfy the demands of racers, their oil filter has many features over and above the requirements of most vehicles. They use thicker canister walls for extra strength and durability which reduces the risk of damage from loose rocks and debris. The durable 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.

Canister Type Oil Filters

• Drilled safety wire holes for racing in canister oil filters
• Most have sturdy 1" (automotive) or 17 mm (motorcycle) wrench nut, where applicable, makes oil filter removal quick and easy
• Heavy-duty construction
• Resin-impregnated filter media provides maximum filtering surface for contaminant removal
• Anti-drainback valve (where applicable) eliminates dry starts, prevents oil from draining back into crankcase during engine shutdown
• Internally lubricated gasket provides positive seal while allowing easy on and off of filter
• Rolled threads provide extra protection against stripping
• Traps 99% of harmful contaminants

Compatible with the Latest in Synthetic Engine Oils

Their oil filters are ideal for high-end synthetic motor oil. Synthetic motor oil is said to offer improved flow performance at cold temperatures while providing superior protection against thermal degradation.

Warranty

Their oil filters are covered by a limited warranty to be free from defects in materials and workmanship when installed and replaced using engine and equipment manufacturers recommended service intervals.

TECH TALK

Their Premium Performance Gold^® Oil Filters use a cellulose media bound by phenolic resin surrounding a metal inner core that provides structural strength to reduce the risk of filter collapse. The resin is the "glue" that holds the media fibers together and at the same time keeps "pores" open by keeping the fibers apart. The resin is cured to full strength during the element manufacturing process. Phenolic resin systems are an excellent choice for the high temperature demands of oil filters. Their filter includes an anti-drainback valve, when applicable, that prevents oil from draining back into the crankcase during engine shutdown. The anti-drainback valve is useful in situations where the filter is mounted horizontally which could allow backflow. They use rolled threads to help prevent stripping during installation or removal and an internally lubricated gasket provides a positive seal even after the filter has been removed and reinstalled.
