Oil Filters
Originally developed for demanding auto race applications, the premium oil
filter is rapidly becoming a favorite among consumers for its durability and
easy removal. K&N has changed oil filters and several of their product
development technicians are sportsman class drag racers. They insisted they
offer an oil filter that corrected the “headaches” they experienced over the
years of changing oil filters.
K&N Oil Filters Have Nuts
We have all been there: Whether it’s remembering where that disappearing
canister tool is; or having oil leak all over the garage and yourself; or
finally giving up and pounding a screwdriver through the filter just to get if
off. Each of our motorcycle oil filters come with a 17 mm nut welded to the top
of the canister so they can be easily wrenched-off with a standard tool.
Heavy-Duty Construction for Extreme Conditions
To satisfy the demands of racers, K&N oil filters have 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 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 which is required for many types of racing. The
safety wire prevents blown oil filters from falling on the track and presenting
a hazard to other race vehicles. This extra engineering offers peace of mind for
consumers who want only the best.
High-Flow Rate
K&N 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.
Compatible with the Latest in Synthetic Engine Oils
K&N 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 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
K&N 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. K&N filters 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. K&N uses 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.
