Detailed Product Description

The K&N KN-153 oil filter is engineered with high flow premium media that efficiently traps dirt, debris, and contaminants to protect your engine’s internal components.

The built-in bypass valve ensures oil continues to circulate even if the filter becomes clogged, maintaining engine lubrication under all conditions. Constructed with a nitrile rubber gasket, the filter provides a reliable seal to prevent leaks. The spin-on design with M16 x 1.5 threading allows for straightforward installation and removal, aided by the integrated 17 mm removal nut. This filter’s compact size fits a range of vehicles requiring these specifications.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the K&N KN-153 oil filter, ensure the old filter is fully removed and the mounting surface is clean.
