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.
