Find the Right Filter for Your Car, Truck, SUV, Minivan or Whatever Else You Drive

06.06.2017

K&N offers plenty of options for engine and cabin air filtration products for your vehicle

Do you haul your family around in your SUV or mini-van? Does your truck do double duty as a commuter and toy hauler? Your vehicles do a lot for you, why not protect them with the best products around? K&N makes performance products for thousands of vehicles on the road. Here we are going to give a rundown of those products and show you why they make a difference in your vehicle.

Replacement Air Filters

Installing a K&N replacement air filter is extremely easy and usually takes less than 10 minutes

K&N is probably most known for their oiled cotton filter media. As an entry level product, K&N has taken their famous filter media and produced washable and reusable replacement filters for hundreds of thousands of applications from cars and trucks to motorcycles and side-by-sides. The oiled cotton media offers greater airflow over the traditional folded paper air filters. By increasing airflow, these filters are designed to increase horsepower and torque. Better yet, because these are washable and reusable, you can forget having to change your filter every 12,000-15,000 miles. After 50,000 miles (depending on driving conditions), you can wash your filter and restore its contaminant capturing capabilities for another 50,000 miles of use. Lastly, K&N replacement air filters are covered by K&N’s famous 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty. So this truly may be the last filter you buy for your car.

Cold Air Intakes

K&N cold air intakes come with a guaranteed horsepower increase and a million mile warranty

The pinnacle of K&N performance for your vehicle may very well be the cold air intakes from K&N. These address not only the lack of airflow through the filter element, but also the restrictive, often times turbulent inducing intake tubes that most vehicles come from the factory with. By eliminating the restrictive tubing and filter media for a high-flow oiled cotton filter and smooth bore intake tubing, the K&N cold air intake kits are guaranteed to increase horsepower, torque, and throttle response. Like K&N’s replacement air filters, the K&N cold air intakes have washable and reusable filters. However, the cone filters that come with the cold air intakes have a greater surface area, and therefore last up to 100,000 miles between cleanings (depending on driving conditions). The K&N cold air intakes also come with the K&N 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty, so you don’t have to worry about spending money on disposable filters again.

Cabin Air Filters

Protect your family from harmful contaminants with a K&N cabin air filter

We put a lot of importance on getting clean, fresh air into your engine so it works at peak performance. But what about the air that is being fed into the cabin of your vehicle that you and your family is breathing? Well K&N asked that same question before developing a line of washable and reusable cabin air filters, like the VF2000, that covers hundreds of Toyota vehicles. These new filters are designed to replace the factory paper air filters that come in almost all new vehicles. Made from a proprietary synthetic media, the K&N cabin air filters are designed to capture most mold, mildew, pollen, spores, fungus, and germs. As air passes through the filter, it creates an electrostatic charge that grabs and holds on to contaminants before they enter the cabin. After 12 months or 12,000 miles, K&N recommends cleaning the filter with the K&N 99-6000 cabin air filter refresher kit.

Oil Filters

K&N oil filters are designed to work with conventional, synthetic, and even blended motor oils

Along with protecting your engine from airborne contaminants, it is also important to protect your engine from contaminants that may come from wear, such as metal fragments. These impurities can cause damage to the inner components of your engine. To help prevent this damage, it is vital to use a high quality oil filter with good filtration. K&N offers three levels of oil filters to choose from for whatever your needs may be. The first is the K&N Performance Silver line of oil filters. These offer a high-flow/low restriction design and are engineered to handle all grades of conventional, synthetic, and blended motor oils. The next line of filters are the K&N Wrench-Off Performance Gold oil filters. These are designed with high-durability and high-flow in mind. They also have a 1-inch nut welded to the top of the canister for easy removal of the used filter. For exceptional filtrations, these filters are made with a resin impregnated cellulose filter media. Finally, K&N offers a top of the line billet aluminum washable oil filter. This filter is used by race teams, engine builders, and anyone looking for a premium oil filter that has the ability to be washed and reused. Thanks to this design, you can see what particles may be floating around in your oil.

Jordan Phillips’ Run for the Podium in GNCC Round 6 Derailed by Tree Branch

In a wet and wild Grand National Cross Country Series (GNCC) round 6 in Peru, Indiana, Jordan Phillips’ hard-charging run for the podium was stifled by a tree branch. The already challenging X-Factor course was made even more brutal with the wet and muddy conditions that a storm front inflicted.

“The course had a mix of everything such as tight wooded sections, steep hills, off camber sections, and plenty of muddy areas,” reported Phillips. “Saturday morning before our 10:00 am race time, the temperatures were in the low 50s, which was a bit chilly.”

In the main event, Phillips got a great start off the line and was engaged in a fast and competitive fight for the podium. However, he soon found himself slaloming around stuck ATVs.

“When the green flag dropped I rocketed forward and headed to the woods in 3rd,” said Phillips. “The first lap went smooth and I maintained 3rd. The second lap was pretty eventful with sport quads stuck everywhere. There were deep ruts everywhere. I picked a couple of bad lines and checked in 5th.”

Carrying good speed and picking better lines, Phillips found his way back to podium contention.

“The third lap was better and I moved up to 4th,” Phillips said. “However, a storm moved in and began pouring the rain during the entire last lap. I made a pass for 3rd.”

Things were looking good for a top-three finish but nature was not done influencing the outcome of the race.

“With 3 miles to go I encountered a lap rider, and as I tried to make a pass I wedged a tree branch under my machine,” said Phillips. "It took me around ten minutes to free the branch. I put the hammer down and finished the race. By the checkered flag, I had to settle for 5th in 4x4 Pro and 10th overall.”

Phillips will be back in action in Athens, Ohio, for the seventh round of the GNCC series.

Davi Haagsma Retains WORCS Pro SxS Lead Despite Obstacles in Rounds 7 and 8

01.06.2017

Davi Haagsma's podium finish in round 7 extends his points lead

K&N-sponsored Pro side-by-side racer Davi Haagsma left the Utah swing of the WORCS schedule with a hard-fought podium finish in St. George and a disappointing DNF in Cedar City. However, most importantly, he also left the state with a solid series lead.

For Haagsma, the entire 2017 WORCS season has included the turbo versus naturally-aspirated debate. While Haagsma has a turbo car in development, he has competed in a non-turbo through the first 8 round of the WORCS schedule.

Haagsma has opted for the reliability and familiarity of the naturally aspirated UTV over the raw power of the turbo. It’s hard to argue with his rationale as he holds a solid double digit lead in the Pro class. He has maintained a 14-point lead despite the fact that the top podium spot eluded him in the two Utah races on the schedule.

Round 7 - Sand Hollow State Park, St. George, Utah

Haagsma has raced the first 8 WORCS rounds in a non-turbo SxS

Haagsma extended his points lead in the WORCS Series Pro SxS class after a third-place finish at Sand Hollow State Park in St. George, Utah. As has been the theme throughout the season, Haagsma was again driving the top finishing naturally aspirated car in the class.

Despite being underpowered, Haagsma racked up his fifth podium finish in six races. That consistency has been a huge part of the grip H&M Motorsports holds in the points lead in the SxS Pro Class.

“The sand takes a lot of horsepower and I knew I was underpowered,” Haagsma said. “I had to race with the turbo cars and try to make it to the finish. With three corners to go, I got into the smoother stuff and barely got by for third. I had two more corners to block him and made it home third. Overall it was a good day points wise.”

Round 8 - Iron Mine Race Park, Cedar City, Utah

Haagsma grabbed the holeshot at the start of the Iron Mine race in southern Utah in his naturally aspirated car. He lost the lead to a turbo car on one of the track’s wide-open sections. Haagsma stayed consistent and competitive, and regained the lead on the final lap. He seemed well on his way to the win in Cedar City when he suffered a race-ending belt failure.

“On the very last lap, I passed Ryan (Piplic) and then about 20 seconds later I blew up the belt,” said Haagsma, “That ended my race.”

Haagsma holds the series lead going into the final three rounds of the season

While obviously disappointed in the mechanical failure that ended a promising day at Iron Mine, Haagsma stayed positive by looking at the big picture.

“This is not the race I wanted, but I still have a decent points lead,” said Haagsma. “We have to do well the next races.”

The WORCS season will move to Glen Helen Raceway in Devore, California, for the series’ Summer Festival.

David Haagsma's series-leading naturally aspirated Polaris SxS runs the new K&N 63-1133 Aircharger performance air intake. Use the K&N search by vehicle tool to find the performance and protection you need for your UTV.
