K&N Cartridge Type Oil Filter

High-Flow Rate

Our oil filters use resin impregnated cellulose filter media. This allows for higher flow rates while providing outstanding filtration. High filter flow rates are especially 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.

Compatible with the Latest in Synthetic Engine Oils

Our 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

K&N oil filters are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship. Any filter proven defective during the engine or equipment manufacturer's or during the oil supplier's recommended service intervals will be replaced at no charge.

In the event of an engine or equipment failure directly caused by a defective K&N oil filter, which was properly installed and changed following the engine or equipment manufacturer's recommended service intervals, K&N Engineering, Inc. will repair the damaged engine or equipment. If a full synthetic or other premium lubricant is used K&N will extend this coverage to the interval specified by the lubricant supplier.

Claims for engine or equipment repairs provided under this warranty must be submitted within 30 days after discovery of damage. K&N Engineering, Inc. reserves the right to examine the engine or equipment and filter to determine the amount of damage and whether it was caused by a defective K&N oil filter.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have other rights which vary from state to state.

Engine and equipment manufacturer's warranties remain in effect when K&N oil filters are used.

TECH TALK

Our Premium 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.
