Technical Details and Construction

The K&N HP-1004 oil filter features a high flow premium media designed to trap contaminants effectively while allowing optimal oil flow. The inclusion of an anti drain back valve prevents oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is off, reducing wear during startup. The bypass valve activates between 11 and 17 PSI to maintain oil circulation even if the filter becomes clogged, protecting the engine from oil starvation. The gasket is made from Viton rubber, known for its resistance to heat and chemicals, ensuring a secure seal under various operating conditions. The spin-on design includes a 1 inch removal nut, simplifying filter changes on compatible vehicles.
