How does the 17mm nut help with installation and removal?

The 17mm nut is built into the end of the filter, providing a solid point to grip with a wrench. This makes it significantly easier to spin the filter on and off during oil changes compared to filters without this feature.

What is the benefit of the synthetic filter media?

The synthetic media is engineered for ultimate flow, meaning oil can pass through it with less resistance and pressure drop. At the same time, it provides outstanding filtration to capture contaminants and protect your engine.

Is this filter suitable for racing use?

Yes, this filter is approved for racing use by MotoAmerica and the AMA. The 17mm nut is crossed-drilled, allowing racers to safety wire the filter to their bike for added security.

Product Details

This K&N oil filter uses a modern synthetic filter media, which is designed to let oil flow through with less pressure drop while still providing excellent filtration. It's built with a heavy-duty, chrome-plated metal canister that can handle tough conditions, and most of these filters have a 17 mm nut on the end. This nut makes it much easier to remove the filter when it's time for an oil change. This filter is a popular choice for many Harley-Davidson V-Rod models from 2002 through 2017, including bikes like the VRSCAW, VRSCDX Night Rod Special, and VRSCF V-Rod Muscle.

For racing applications, the 17 mm nut is also crossed-drilled, allowing racers to safety wire the filter to their bike, a feature approved by MotoAmerica and the AMA. If your bike is equipped with an anti-drain back valve, this filter is designed to work with it, helping to prevent dry starts by keeping oil from draining back into the crankcase when the engine is off. It meets or exceeds all Original Equipment Manufacturer specifications for oil filters.
