Peformance Gold Premium Oil Filter

Originally developed for demanding auto race applications, this premium automotive 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 on an oil filter that corrected the ?headaches? they experienced over the years changing oil filters.

This Oil Filter Has Nuts

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. The HP-1003 oil filter comes with a 1? nut welded to the top of the canister so they can be easily wrenched-off with a standard tool.

Durable Construction for Extreme Conditions

To satisfy the demands of racers, Premium Gold oil filters have many features over and above the requirements of most vehicles. Thicker canister walls for extra strength and durability reduce 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.

High-Flow Rate

K&N oil filters have filtering media that 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.
