A K&N Replacement Filter That Fits Both the 1.0L Opel and the 3.6L Cadillac ATS-V
- Jun 2, 2017
We can’t quite recall when we’ve seen an OEM filter fitted to such as wide range of cars. The filter was fitted to everything from a three-cylinder 1.0L Vauxhall to the 464 horsepower Cadillac ATS-V. No matter on which end of the spectrum your car sits, the K&N E-0650 replacement filter is designed to add power, response, and eliminate the need to buy new filters in the future. The filter first came into use in 2015 in the Opel and Vauxhall Astra (Opel in the European mainland, Vauxhall in Great Britain). It was fitted to 1.0L three cylinder and 1.4L and 1.6L four cylinder gasoline engines, and 1.6L diesel engines. In 2016, Cadillac decided to utilize a pair of these filters for the ATS-V, powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.6L V6 engine that produced 464 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque. That’s over four times what the turbocharged 1.0L three cylinder Astra engine produced. The filter was also added to the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze, and unlike the Cadillac ATS-V, it wasn’t just for one model year. The filter continues to be used on the Cruze at least through the 2017 model year.
After conquering Europe and the United States, the filter traveled “down under” in 2016 under the hood of the Holden Astra with 1.4L and 1.6L four cylinder engines. That fitment has continued through the 2017 model year. Back in Europe, the filter is still fitted to 2017 Opel and Vauxhall Astra models with 1.0L three cylinder, and 1.4L and 1.6L four cylinder gasoline engines, and a 1.6L diesel engine. K&N manufactures the E-0650 replacement filter from multiple layers of oiled cotton filter media, rather than air flow-limiting paper or foam used in many OEM and replacement filters. The oiled cotton construction was selected not only for increased air flow but because it also provides excellent filtration performance to ensure your engine’s long life. This has been verified through K&N’s in-house ISO 5011-compliant filtration efficiency testing laboratory, which ensures that K&N replacement air filters provide high airflow without allowing through harmful particles increasing engine wear.
These filters are designed to fit into your existing factory air box. Their drop-in design means adding performance is simple. With most vehicles you simply remove the disposable air filter and replace it with a K&N filter. The only maintenance required for a K&N replacement filter is a service you can do yourself. At intervals of 50,000 miles (depending on driving conditions), using a K&N air filter cleaning kit you can easily clean and re-oil your air filter, which brings it back to brand-new condition and ready for another 50,000 miles of driving. Your K&N air filter is designed to last for the life of your vehicle, which K&N guarantees with a 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty. The K&N E-0650 fits the following vehicles: 2017 VAUXHALL ASTRA MK7 1.6L L4 Fuel Injection - All Models |
