K&N Motorcycle Oil Filter: High Performance, Premium, Designed to be used with Synthetic or Conventional Oils, Wrench Off Nut: Fits Select Honda, Kawasaki, Polaris, Yamaha Vehicles, KN-303

I've relied on the K&N KN-303 oil filter for years, and it has consistently exceeded my expectations. The convenient 17mm nut integrated into its design simplifies the installation and removal process, eliminating the hassle of dealing with filter wrenches. It effortlessly accommodates both synthetic and conventional oils, fitting seamlessly onto my bike. The exceptional build quality provides me with a sense of security, knowing that my engine is receiving optimal protection. Without a doubt, this is my go-to choice for oil filters, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to my fellow riders.

⁃ The Black K&N 303 fit into my 2007 Kawasaki Ninja ZX14.⁃ It was printed ‘made in Thailand.’⁃ It comes with a protective polythene cover around the other/hollow end of the filter.⁃ The description says that the gasket comes pre-lubed but I lubed the gasket with clean oil, the same Mobil 1 Racing 4T synthetic 10W-40 oil that I used for the oil change, just to be on the safe side.⁃ I’m glad I bought this filter with an end nut. I tried to take off the OEM Kawasaki oil filter but I really struggled. I tried to use the right/correct oil filter cap wrench to remove the filter but it wouldn’t budge. The edges that the filter wrench grabs onto started rounding off and I knew that I was in for a long sweaty oil change. I had to use a big pair of pliers to carefully twist the oil filter off. What was a 1 hour or so job turned into a whole day’s job as I had to run to the store and get other wrenches that didn’t do the job and consult notes written by other owners of the same bike on internet bike forums. I was lucky that the filter finally moved. Many people in the motorcycle forums have turned into piercing the filter with a screwdriver (for leverage) as a last resort to remove it!⁃ For this particular motorcycle, (2007 Kawasaki Ninja ZX14) the 17mm socket works on the end nut of the K&N filter and removes both the oil pan drain bolt that you unscrew to drain the oil from the oil pan. So, you only need one socket for the entire exercise, a good thing.⁃ The filter seemed to be of good quality and similar to the OEM Kawasaki filter.⁃ The end nut is especially useful in tightening the oil filter to the correct torque specs. The manufacturer insists on torquing the oil filter and not using the hand to tighten it and second guess.⁃ For this motorcycle, the oil filter is torqued to 23 ft/lb (31 N.m) The end nut makes it easier. With a small extension, torque wrench and the 17mm socket, you are able to torque the oil filter without being hindered by the exhaust pipes underneath. It feels ‘just right’ when torqued and the nut was not ‘rounded off’ during installation.⁃ It has a hole at the end nut for those who race and must have all their parts tied up during racing.⁃ No leaks so far in 2 weeks and 250 miles of riding. I bought another K&N oil filter and put it in stock for the next oil change after 3,000 miles. I never want to go through the experience of trying to get another filter without an end nutoff.

The oil filter fits on my 2024 Vulcan S650. I've ordered these twice now. I made the mistake of over tightening the filter the first time I installed the oil filter and 4 months later i ended up having to drill a hole through the side of the oil filter and using a screw driver to twist the filter off because my wrench sheared off the edges of the bolt. This time around i tightened the filter a full turn after it "touches" the motorcycle. Works great and filters the oil very well.

I've been using the K&N KN-303 oil filter for years, and it's never let me down. The built-in 17mm nut makes installation and removal a breeze, no more struggling with filter wrenches. It fits perfectly on my bike and handles both synthetic and conventional oils with ease. The build quality is top-notch, and I appreciate the peace of mind knowing my engine is well-protected. This is the only filter I buy, and I highly recommend it to fellow riders.

The filter works great on Honda motorcyle because it is easer to change .
