Product Description

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.

Doesn't fit Chrysler Town & Country Touring
K&N offers excellent oil filters and I use them on my truck. However, I searched Amazon to find which model would fit my Chrysler Town & Country Touring. They pointed me toward this filter. If you own this vehicle, it actually takes the 1017 filter. These are EXCELLENT filters...this review is only to let you know that it doesn't fit this van. To Amazon's credit though, they did give me a full refund plus reimbursed my shipping to send it back since it was their fault. Amazon has first class service.

One of the best filters on the market
Please don't review this filter unless you have some knowledge of what you are reviewing or have had time to fairly review the product whether good or bad. I love this filters. They do a very nice job of filtering the oil especially for those of us using full synthetic oil and going longer intervals between changes. These filters are well constructed and have a thicker outer case which is great for those that may use them in trucks or vehicles going off road. They contain synthetic media inside which gives them the ability to give great filtration while still maintaining a high flow rate. That is critical in an oil filter as you want contaminants to be filtered out but you also don't want the filter restricting the flow of oil through the motor. These filters also have both an anti-drain back valve and a bypass valve to protect your engine. Without being too technical oil filters and oil are critical to the long life of your engine. If you plan on keeping your car or truck don't go cheap on these and you may save yourself some very expensive repairs in the long run. Read about the problems people have had with some VW/Audi, Toyota & Chrysler engines with oil sludge. Using quality filters and a high quality synthetic oil from day 1 could have prevented many of these sludge failures that cost the owners of these vehicles thousands of dollars. I have been using K&N oil filters in my vehicles for years and have never had a problem. Current owner of a Ford F150 & a Lexus GS430 and both use these filters.

Oh and as a footnote these filters are the same internally as the Mobil 1 Extended Performance filters. I think the Mobil 1 branding does cost a little more as they are the recommended filter to go along with the Mobil 1 extended performance oil. Only difference is the K&N case I think is a little thicker and the Mobile 1 branded filter doesn't come with the nut at the top of the filter. The internals are the same Champion Labs makes them. As an alternative the Wix filters are also very good and they come under Napa & Napa Gold branding from Napa Auto Parts stores. I have been very impressed with the Napa Gold Wix filters.

Great Filter, Easy to Remove
2000 Dodge Stratus

I don't have any scientific results that say this filter has any better performance than other filters I've used on my car but I haven't had any problems either.

The main thing I like about this filter is the nut on it that makes removal a breeze. Putting filters on my car for hand tightness is easy but I find my car can be difficult to remove with spacing around the filter area if the filter sticks at all. Being at the bottom gives easy access to tools to just break it loose and then continue by hand.

Another Excellent K&N Product - Easy to Install and Excellent Quality
I have used K&N products on my 2004 Corvette and have had excellent results. When my son asked what type of oil filter would be "the best" for his Honda Civic, I immediately looked for a K&N HP-1010 Oil Filter. I was fortunate to find one at a local dealer, but was surprised at the high markup. I am pleased to find them available on Amazon at a reasonable price for the value.

Installation is a snap. The bolt shaped end makes installation and removal simple. I was impressed with the high quality ring and diaphragm. The filter can is very thick, able to withstand all of the problems a gravel road can throw at it.

The only drawback is the price. However, the thicker metal on the can and the durability makes it a deal for my situation. Others also use the K&N HP-1010 Oil Filter for racing and other uses.

K&N oil filter, like their air filters
Despite all the Reviews and high praise, alost of that comes from advertising and hype remember. Not saying this oil filter is bad, i love it, but it is very expensive for a resin type fiber filter. It will filter well, but not as well as say, glass enchanced nano filters from other brands, especially at this price range. Those other filters may not have as high flow rates, but i do not run a racing dry oil sump system in my car. Some good things about this filter though, it has a thick steel casing and a removal nut, i personally just use my hands to twist off, but for some, the nut can be a real help in taking the filter off. This is a high quality product, do not get me wrong, its just this filter does not fit my situation as well as say, a mobil1 or purolator filter.

Perfect
I haven't dissected the filter so I can't speak to the internal workings but this seems like a good quality filter. I usually used the Mobil 1 M1-110 but this one is far and away better just because of the standard wrench removal. Any 1 inch open or closed ended wrench will work. I actually had to remove the skid plate from my Frontier to get the 110 off because I couldn't find a wrench that fit the tiny little filter. Flow rate seems good, I'd stick with this one.

Convenience is worth it.
The convenience of being able to simply remove the filter with a wrench is worth the price difference.

I cannot vouch for how good or bad the filter is, my oil color has not changed when switched from Fram to K&N.

K&N is awesome
Whether or not you buy into the K&N hype,.. you might want to consider the K&N for the simple reason the filters have a bolthead on the end of them so you don't need a stupid oil filter wrench in order to replace it. Simply use a socket. I can't say enough about that feature. Of course you get a great filter as well... I use K&N air filters as well... I'm a big fan of that company as the products are superior.

Use this filter.
Of course, you have the K&N name. Honestly, it's not like I can tell if the K&N oil filter filters oil better than another oil filter. But get this one any, if for no other reason than the fact that there's a hex protrusion on the end so you can remove it with a socket wrench when it's time to change.

I had a Fram on there before, and it was fine. But when it came time to take it off, I tried using an oil filter wrench, which just slipped constantly and the filter never budged (I think something had hit the filter at some point as there was a small dent on it, which probably caused the slippage). Then I pulled out the strap wrench, which BROKE before I could get the filter off. That's right, I broke the strap on a strap wrench!

With the K&N's, it's a simple matter of breaking out the socket wrench. So easy. It's worth a couple extra bucks just for that.

Look around though, if the price seems high. I paid about $7.50 for mine at a local bike shop.

These are very good filters to use and priced right on here. Many tests show to avoid Fram but K&N are made well. The wrench off feature is ok but kind of gimmicky as most just use a standard filter wrench unless you have a close tolerance.

works for G35
This model of K&N works for VQ35DE/ REV UP/ HR and VQ37HR engines as well as 1995-03 Nissan S14 and S15 type SR20DET engines (as well as a quite a few other applications). I use these for my G35 and they filter well and are a breeze to take off. While they are 3-4$ more expensive than the nissan branded filters, the nut is the reason i buy them so they are extremely easy to remove. Also it's gotten good reviews on various oil filter comparison tests.

Great for 7500 miles oil change interval
I change the oil of my Accord every 7500 miles, so I decided to use a quality filter to match quality oil. The K&N HP-1004 filter was the chosen one. It is a high flow filter, heavy-duty construction and a convenient 1" wrench nut for ease removal. Please do not use Bosch, STP or Supertech in your Honda. They should be ok for 3000 miles, but your car does not deserve them for 7500 mi oil changes.

If you do not like K&N, consider using Mobil 1 oil filters.

K&N is the best
This filter is "upgrade" for my car and it helped me gain some oil pressure over all but most noticeable on idle after some driving usually it goes below 30psi but with this filter its stays around 32psi which is good.
