K&N Oil Filter: 20,000 Mile Engine Protection with Wrench

Built for drivers who expect dependable filtration and straightforward maintenance, the K&N HP-1008 oil filter pairs rugged canister construction with pleated synthetic-blend media to capture contaminants while maintaining strong oil flow. It’s compatible with synthetic, conventional, and blended oils and is laboratory tested for capacity and burst strength. A one-inch welded hex nut on the canister enables fast, tool-friendly removal by a wrench or socket.

How does the HP-1008 keep oil flowing without restricting performance?

The HP-1008 uses a pleated synthetic-blend filtration element designed to balance high contaminant-holding capacity with low resistance to oil flow. That combination helps maintain steady oil circulation at normal operating temperatures and engine loads.

• High-flow media construction for consistent oil delivery.
• Engineered pleat design to increase surface area and capacity.
• Compatible with synthetic and conventional oils for flexible use.
• Lab-tested for burst strength to withstand pressure variations.

What makes removal and installation easier compared with standard filters?

Instead of relying only on a strap or wrench band, the HP-1008 features a welded one-inch hex nut on the canister top for wrench-off removal. That nut provides positive engagement for common sockets, reducing slippage and simplifying filter changes, especially in tight engine bays.

• Welded one-inch hex nut for secure socket or wrench use.
• Heavy-duty canister resists deformation during removal and installation.
• Standard thread and gasket sizing for straightforward fitment.
• Clear orientation and sealing surfaces to reduce leaks when installed correctly.

Which vehicles can this filter be used on and how do I confirm fitment?

The HP-1008 is specified to fit a wide range of modern cars, trucks, and SUVs from manufacturers such as Acura, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru, Infiniti, Mitsubishi, Renault and others. Always verify cross-reference or vehicle application lists before purchase and confirm thread, gasket, and clearance in your engine bay.

• Fits many Acura, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru, Infiniti, Mitsubishi models.
• Check the vehicle compatibility list or use year/make/model lookup tools.
• Confirm clearance for wrench or socket access to the welded hex nut.
• Compatible with synthetic, conventional, and blended oils.

How long can I expect to run between oil/filter changes with the HP-1008?

Designed to withstand extended service intervals recommended by many vehicle makers, the HP-1008’s robust media and canister construction allow for long mileage service when used with quality oil. Always follow the oil and filter change intervals specified by your vehicle manufacturer and driving conditions.

• Engineered for extended service intervals when paired with proper oil.
• Media holds contaminants to help maintain oil life within recommended intervals.
• Durable canister resists burst and collapse under typical operating pressures.
• Backed by a K&N 1-Year Limited Warranty for manufacturing defects.

Who is this for: The K&N HP-1008 is aimed at vehicle owners and technicians who want a high-flow, durable replacement oil filter that simplifies routine maintenance. It’s a practical upgrade for DIY mechanics, fleet operators, and anyone running compatible Acura, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru, Infiniti, Mitsubishi or related vehicles who values reliable filtration and easier wrench-off removal during oil changes.
