Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work with conventional mineral oil?
This filter is optimized for synthetic and synthetic-blend oils. Conventional mineral oil can be used, but the high-flow media is engineered for synthetics.
How do I remove and install this filter?
The 17mm hex nut allows you to wrench it off and spin it back on by hand. The pre-lubed gasket seals without over-tightening.
Does it have a pressure relief valve?
Yes — both a pressure relief valve and anti-drain-back valve protect your engine during cold starts and high-speed riding.
Is this filter TUV certified?
Yes — K&N's production is TUV monitored and endorsed for quality assurance.
