K&N Oil Filters feature brilliant chrome housings for the GL1500, GL1800 Honda Gold Wing motorcycles. Originally developed for race applications, these premium motorcycle oil filters are rapidly becoming a favorite among motorcycle riders for their durability and easy removal.
Feature a 17 mm Nut welded to the top of the canister so they can be easily wrenched-off with our famous 2 in1 Oil Filter Smart Wrench shown on page as Related Product or any 17mm standard metric wrench. High-Flow Rate - Our motorcycle and ATV 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.
Compatible with the Latest in Synthetic Engine Oils, 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.
TECH TALK - Our K&N Motorcycle Oil Filters use a cellulose media bound by phenolic resin surrounding a metal inner core that provides structural strength to reduce the risk of filter collapse. The resin is the "glue" that holds the media fibers together and at the same time keeps "pores" open by keeping the fibers apart. The resin is cured to full strength during the element manufacturing process. Phenolic resin systems are an excellent choice for the high temperature demands of oil filters.
Our filter includes an anti-drainback valve, when applicable, that prevents oil from draining back into the crankcase during engine shutdown. The anti-drainback valve is useful in situations where the filter is mounted horizontally which could allow backflow. We use rolled threads to help prevent stripping during installation or removal and an internally lubricated gasket provides a positive seal even after the filter has been removed and reinstalled.
