Title: k&n oil filter
Post by: rufus t glasgow on 03 July 2013, 02:40:03 pm

Just a quick question.

Does anyone know if the k&n oil filter is supposed to be shorter than than its OEM equivalent?

Thanks

I believe it is a little shorter yes, why?

If it is it's probably 'cos there's more air flow, but they're a very snug fit around the top.

Just curious, I had one delivered today and it seemed short. Wanted to check that this was the norm.
