Originally developed for demanding auto race applications, Nissan 370z K&N premium automotive oil filter is rapidly becoming a favorite among consumers for its durability and easy removal. K&N have changed oil filters and several of the product development technicians are sportsman class drag racers. They insisted K&N offer an oil filter that corrected the “headaches” they experienced over the years changing oil filters. Most of K&N canister type automotive and marine oil filters come with a 1" nut welded to the top of the canister so they can be easily wrenched-off with a standard tool.

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. 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.
