K&N PS-2001 Engine Oil Filter

Engine Oil Filter Overview

K&N PS-2001 is a spin-on engine oil filter built for service professionals who need consistent filtration and straightforward removal. It uses high-flow premium media, a nitrile rubber gasket, and an anti-drain back valve to support clean oil delivery and engine protection during service intervals.

Compatible with a wide range of Chevrolet, GMC, and related applications, this oil filter is a direct service part for many trucks, vans, SUVs, and performance models. The PS-2001 part number is also referenced by several cross-brand equivalents for the same application.

Key Features

• Spin-on oil filter with M18 x 1.5 thread specification
• High-flow premium media for strong filtration capacity
• Anti-drain back valve helps retain oil in the filter after shutdown
• Nitrile rubber gasket for sealing performance
• Fluted canister shape for wrench removal with common oil filter tools
• Engineered for synthetic, conventional, and blended motor oils

Detailed Description

The K&N Performance Silver line focuses on practical serviceability and filtration efficiency. The pleated media is built for high capacity, making the PS-2001 suitable for extended oil change intervals when used according to the vehicle and oil manufacturer’s recommendations. The filter is available in a spin-on style and is intended for canister-type oil filter applications where this thread and size match the vehicle specification.

Fitment includes 1992-2005 Chevrolet Blazer, 2001-2005 GMC Jimmy, 1982-2003 Chevrolet S10, 1995-2000 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 1999-2000 Cadillac Escalade. It also fits many Chevrolet and GMC truck, van, and SUV applications, including Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Yukon, and Chevrolet Corvette. The PS-2001 part number should be matched to the vehicle’s oil filter specification before installation.

What It Helps Address

• Oil flow restriction from a restrictive filter element
• Premature oil filter saturation during longer service intervals
• Oil drain-back after engine shutdown
• Sealing issues caused by worn filter gasket material
• Tool access problems during routine oil service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the thread specification, filter height, and outside diameter against the vehicle’s oil filter requirements before installation. The fluted canister shape is designed for removal with a standard oil filter wrench, and the spin-on format supports routine service on many applications. Use the PS-2001 only where the listed fitment and oil filter specification match.
