Editorial Review :

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.

I Expect it Works Well-Good Reputation

How does one know if it is filtering well? It fits, is easy on and off, and I like the nut for removal. I expect it does it's job and K&N has a good reputation so it works for me. According to the research I have done K&N is supposed to be top quality and I have had no problems. It is $4 less expensive from Amazon than at the local car parts store (O'Reilly's that replaced Checker), so, good price here, and fast shipping with PRIME. I would not consider buying a cheap oil filter and feel K&N is a name brand with a good reputation. 2nd choice would be Mobile 1. I use this on my 12kw generator with Mobile 1 synthetic oil. I also use K&N filters on my Dodge Stealth.

love the 1" tightening nut

I think the nut is really convenient. Why doesn't everyone make filters like this? Only filters I will ever use again

Proven goodness

Been using K&N filters exclusively for two years. I have an oil analysis done every other change and the results show it is doing an excellent job. The nut makes it very easy to remove but it also makes the filter slightly taller than the stock part, if you have a very tight fit in your engine compartment make sure there is enough room for it.

KnN FILTER the only one for me

This is a great product (MADE IN THE USA). I have used this on all of my vehicles for years. Would not change oil with out it. Thats why I stock these in my garage.

Rating :

Doesn't fit application listed - waste of money.

If you have the 3.9 Lincoln V-8 DO NOT BUY stock number HP-2009. The screw-on hole is way too small and you'll be stuck screwing on your old filter and limping to your nearest parts store for one that fits. My first experience with K&N has been regrettable, never again. I should have stayed with the bulletproof Purolator filters.

wanted a fleese filter, this is it ,good price,fast service,name brand,made by german company Mann

Great filter - Amazon's application list is wrong though.

Great high quality filter, what more is there to say. K&N always delivers top notch items.(although this one is imported from Germany - which is likely a Mann brand filter - still the best)
Now the problem. Amazon says this part HP-7004 will not fit a Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 (also for NA engine)....wrong, this is the correct item and confirmed with K&N.

K&N OIL FILTER_MERC

I have a 1998 Mercedes E320 4Matic, recommended oil change interval is 10,000 miles, but system auto flags when it is required. Using the K&N filter and european standard amsoil my car went beyond 12,000 miles before the system flagged up that change was necessary, total mileage covered was approx 14,000 when I did the oil change and system still flagged 300 miles to go before it was required. Will continue to use this product in my Mercedes.

Customer Review :

It seems to work good.

Without tearing the filter apart I can say that it seems to be doing its job.
It fit my vehicle and there doesn't seem to be any leaking from a bad seal.
I'm still debating if the advertised quality is worth the cost.

Normally I replace my filter every time I change my oil. This time I'm going to skip
changing out the filter the nest time that I change my oil and do it for the next oil
change(so wait for the second oil change) and see if there is any appreciable difference.
