Used one of these on my highly modified 2005 FatBoy and highly recommend it. It removes the tiniest particles of crap and that magnet is STRONG!! Oil pressure drop across this filter is practically Zero. Sold FatBoy and bought new Indian Springfield. One of these filters is going on the Indian as soon as filter arrives.
Hi Hammered01, We're glad to hear you are a K&P supporter. We wanted to check to see if you got the filter on your New Indian Springfield? if so how are you liking the filter so far? If not please contact us (720)238-1181 or use the dealer locator on our website kandpengineering.com/ to find a dealer that carries the S1 used on your Indian.
Thanks for being consumer centric and not a producer centric. Most of those just want you to buy their products and throw away once used. Looking forward to buy your company product. Hope I could manage to get it in Indian markets.
Matreyia, you are correct that not all K&P filter models have the magnet for pre-filtration, only the spin-on style filters have the magnet. We do not have the magnet in the Internal filters cause a lot of the time there is little room for the magnet, as well as trying to accommodate the stock oil filter cap and the stock bypass without interfering to make sure we have the same clearances. We highly recommend Dimple Products magnetic drain plugs to complete the "filtering" package for our internal filters.
Hi Milton, Your 2015 Ninja 300 will use our S1, Please enter your postal code into the dealer lookup located on the homepage of kandpengineering.com/, Then choose the dealer closet to your location to order the S1. The S1 comes in many finish options to view them click on this link: kandpengineering.com/technical-information/filter-housing-finishes/, If you have any question's please contact us directly. (720)238-1181 M-F 9-5 MST
We recommend anything that will help knock the debris off the outside of the filter element. In the video we used aerosol brake cleaner. Compressed air works well as does flushing the filter from the inside out with a strong stream of fluid.
Hi Stephen, Please read our Primer on Filtration, it is a great source to learn about our filter's compared to other's: (kandpengineering.com/primer-on-filtration/) If you still have any questions, please feel free to contact us @ (720)238-1181 M-F 9-5 MST & we can discuss your questions further.

The dishwasher won't hurt it, but leaving aluminum in hot water for more than 15 minutes can discolor the aluminum (it turns brown). I would target the flow of water from the inside of the element out as much as possible, as you are trying to knock the debris loose from the outside of the filter media. Dave
@@kandpengineering thanks so much for the prompt reply and info. I suspect hand washing it is the easier path, and I had good results doing that the other day. Very happy with the filter.
the flo filter is a knock off, kind of like a Chinese Honda. They look the same, but parts are not interchangeable and results of intermixing parts could be dangerous due to failures.
We recommend cleaning the filter at least every time the OEM recommends you change the oil. The beauty of the filter is you can remove it, inspect and clean it any time you would like. This is especially convenient if you have had recent work done and want to check that there is not an abnormal amount of debris being collected by the filter which may indicate a situation that needs to be investigated further.
Jeff, You are correct it is a ball bearing, it's a bypass relief valve that allows oil to the engine if case the filter were to get clogged. Your engine would still be able to get oil through the relief valve, With our filters media flowing 7 times the amount of oil as the same sized paper filter it avoids unfiltered oil bypassing the filter during cold startup and high rpm. Please read our Primer on Filtration for additional info: (kandpengineering.com/primer-on-filtration/)
Beautiful filter but doesnt clean oil. There is no way a full flow filter can clean oil. That takes a bypass filter such as Frantz Gulf Coast Australian Jackmaster and a few others. The Wix on my Pontiac Torrent has 62.000 miles and over 4 years on it. The bypass filter keeps the oil and Wix clean.
The gasket can last up to 4-5 changes as long as it remains pliable and you are comfortable it will still seal. We prefer to change the gasket either with every oil change, or after the gasket has been used once on each side.
Hi Trevor the quad rings can be reused anywhere from two oil changes up to a half dozen or more depending on how good they look as Hammered01 stated! If you see any wear you can always flip them over as well. When you need some replacement's give us a call (720)238-1181 or use the dealer locator on our website kandpengineering.com/ to find a dealer that carries the quad ring needed for your application.
Hi Jason, Cleaning the filters only takes a few minutes & the added perk is you get to see whats going on inside your engine as you clean the filter, plus your getting 7 times the oil flow as the same sized paper filter, faster oil pressure on startup, reduction of oil pump drag (resulting in horsepower & mpg gain), prevention of bypass operation, as well the aluminum housing & high flow rate dissipates heat. So if you think about it, taking a few extra minutes to clean the filter will help the longevity of your engine. With all this being said the filter isn't for everyone. If you have any question's please contact us directly @ (720)238-1181 M-F 9-5 MST
Hi Luis, the flo filter is a cheap knock off of the K&P Engineering filter. We do not have parts for those filters. I would contact the importer for parts. Thanks
Maybe an electric vehicle in your future? No paper oil filters to contaminate the water from the landfills, and no poisonous gases from cleaning a reusable filter.

I bought two already from ECS Tuning in case I don't have the time to clean and let them dry in time for my oil change. Happens sometimes on the run.
Love this filter
I bought one luv it it's made very well. It appears space age high tech...
My hd rk seems to run smoother and cooler...
Hi. Do you have a filter for the 1JZ GTE TT?
I need one for c7 a6 3.0t, do y’all offer them ?
Where can i buy thisss
That's what I run on my Harley !
Me2
Do I need to clean this every time I change my oil?
I would, definitely recommend it. would probably recommend doing it every oil change.
Not all filter models have magnetic prefiltering. Model 38 for the n54 engine has no such magnetic pre-filter.

That's a no brainer
Hi, Thanks for your guide to clean this oil filter. what kind of cleaning solution did u use to clean oil filter ?
We recommend anything that will help knock the debris off the outside of the filter element. In the video we used aerosol brake cleaner. Compressed air works well as does flushing the filter from the inside out with a strong stream of fluid.
Had this filter installed with cooling system.
the filter works well with cooling fluids, hydraulic fluid, oil, trans fluid, differential fluid, etc.
Add gloves soap and brake cleaner to oil change plus the cost of your time

Do you have a distributor in Europe?
Can you confirm this are made in the USA (there are plenty of Chinese copies) ?
Yes.... designed, sourced and manufactured in the USA Look for the K&P Engineering logo.
Guys what is ISO 4548-12 rating of the above filter?

Can I clean it in a dishwasher? Seems to work fine for my blackpowder gun parts. :)
The dishwasher won't hurt it, but leaving aluminum in hot water for more than 15 minutes can discolor the aluminum (it turns brown).
I would target the flow of water from the inside of the element out as much as possible, as you are trying to knock the debris loose from the outside of the filter media.

Can I use brake cleaner to clean stubborn debris?
Brake Cleaner works great, as well as compressed air will aid in removing stubborn debris.
Do i need a new quad ring??
I have the flow filter
the flo filter is a knock off, kind of like a Chinese Honda. They look the same, but parts are not interchangeable and results of intermixing parts could be dangerous due to failures.

Do you need to use soap as well or will the brake cleaner be enough?
Thanks for your question! The brake cleaner is enough, you can use soap and water as an alternative cleaning method.

Filter does not appear to have any anti-drainback valve.
Listen to the voice in the vid..................
We did, still no anti drain back valve.
Thanks for the question, Please refer to our FAQ's # 11 for more info on the anti drain back valve. Here is the link kandpengineering.com/faqs/
It is a ball bearing in the end of filter

Inspect the quad ring seal at oil change and use your own good judgment.

I clean mine every 2500 miles
I have a extra element that is ready to swap out for the dirty one at service time
I have the flow. Oil filter.
Hi Luis, the flo filter is a cheap knock off of the K&P Engineering filter. We do not have parts for those filters. I would contact the importer for parts. Thanks
NIce breathing all those brake cleaner fumes. Is it worth it to you to have to inhale the poisonous gases?
John, If you are worried about the fumes we recommend wearing a mask OR just use some Dawn dish soap for a less poisonous cleaning method.
You must not work your own stuff guy every guy works on cars has brake clean as his helper 😂😂😂😂
Maybe an electric vehicle in your future? No paper oil filters to contaminate the water from the landfills, and no poisonous gases from cleaning a reusable filter.
What a pain in the ass. Give me my Mobil One filter every 5000 miles.
Too much time wasted, I’d rather buy the disposable type
