K&N Oil Filter

Has anyone used the K&N oil filters, I just did my first oil change and put in Valvoline premium blue and a K&N oil filter, hope they are ok?

Get a fleetguard next time. The KN might provide great filtration but thats not what the Cummins people worry about.
Its all about being able to handle the 100psi pressure on start up and pressure spikes.

The filtration is about the same as a Wix premium, Napagold, Pureone... But the case is very heavy duty... Overkill really unless you racing application or worried about puncture.

I've used K&N's on my '99, '01 and now on my '03. I've never had any problem whatsoever with the filter. In fact I like it primarily because it has the welded nut on the bottom that I can use with a socket on an extension.

Yup, my buddy rebuilt 2 CTD's that "had" K&N's oil filters on them. I bet they dont have K&N's on them any longer.
