These K&N Oil Filters Have Nuts
We have all been there: Whether it’s remembering where that disappearing canister tool is; or having oil leak all over your garage and yourself; or finally giving up and pounding a screwdriver through the filter just to get if off. The smart car oil filter comes with a 1” nut welded to the top of the canister so it can be easily wrenched-off with a standard tool.
Heavy-Duty Construction for Extreme Conditions
To satisfy the demands of racers, these oil filter has many features over and above the requirements of most vehicles. K&N uses thicker canister walls for extra strength and durability which reduces the risk of damage from loose rocks and debris. The heavy-duty construction will withstand higher oil pressures found only in racing environments without bursting. The drilled hole on the nut is for a safety wire attachment. Required for many types of racing, the safety wire prevents blown oil filters from falling on the track and representing a hazard to other race vehicles. This extra engineering offers peace of mind for consumers who want only the best.
