Detailed Product Description

The K&N KN-132 oil filter features high flow premium media that efficiently traps dirt and debris while allowing optimal oil flow to the engine.

Installation Notes and Tips

Follow manufacturer torque specifications for cartridge filter housing to prevent damage. Regular oil and filter changes according to vehicle service intervals will maximize engine protection.
