If you're looking to give your engine a little extra love, the K&N Performance Silver Cartridge Oil Filter is a solid choice. I've used these filters in my rides, and I can tell you they really know how to keep things running smoothly. The design focuses on high flow, which means less restriction and more power when you need it. It’s like giving your engine a breath of fresh air.
One thing I appreciate about these filters is their filtration capacity. They do a great job of keeping the gunk out of your oil, which is crucial if you want to extend those oil change intervals. Just make sure you follow your vehicle’s recommendations, and you’ll be golden. Whether you're running synthetic, conventional, or a blend, these filters can handle it all. Seriously, they’re built tough.
Let’s talk specs for a minute. The filter is about 4.25 inches tall and has an outside diameter of 3.219 inches, so it fits snugly in the engine bay without any fuss. The inside diameter is 1.5 inches, and it’s got a nitrile rubber gasket that ensures a solid seal. It weighs in at just 0.3 lbs, so it won’t add any unnecessary weight to your setup. Plus, there’s a one-year limited warranty, so you can buy with confidence.
Now, if you drive a BMW M5 from 2006 to 2010 or a M6 from 2006 to 2011, this filter is a perfect match. Porsche fans aren’t left out either; it fits a range of models including the Cayenne from 2008 to 2019, the 911 from 2010 to 2020, and even the Panamera from 2010 to 2016. If you're rolling in a Macan from 2017 to 2019, you’re covered too.
In short, the K&N Performance Silver Cartridge Oil Filter is a reliable choice for anyone who wants to keep their engine happy. It’s straightforward, effective, and gets the job done without any bells and whistles. If you’re serious about your car, this is one upgrade you won’t regret.

K&N, formally known as K&N Engineering, Inc., is the world’s leading manufacturer of washable performance air filters and cold air intake systems. K&N manufactures over 12,000 parts for a wide range of makes and models of motorcycles, cars, SUV, trucks, industrial applications, and more. K&N was founded in 1969 and is headquartered in Riverside, California in a complex of 10 buildings compromising approximately 400,000 square feet. K&N also operates facilities in China, England, and the Netherlands.
In the early 1960s, two motorcycle racers, Ken Johnson and Norm McDonald (K&N) developed a revolutionary idea for an air filter—one that could perform under the demands of dusty, dirty off-road environments. After experimenting with different types of filter media, they discovered that an oiled cotton design allowed the filter to capture contaminants efficiently, and also be washed and reused. It was right then and there that the original K&N High-Flow Air Filter was born. Fifty years later, K&N is still dominating the industry with leading filtration technology and innovative products that offer extraordinary protection for virtually every application out there.
What Makes K&N the Best?All K&N products undergo rigorous testing to make sure they adhere to and exceed demanding quality standards. These tests include power, torque, and airflow tests to confirm that the intake products are maximizing power boost while retaining engine safety. The company stands behind its product 100 percent with some of the most extensive warranties in the business – a Million Mile Limited warranty. K&N’s performance air intake systems are designed to improve airflow to the engine by replacing the restrictive factory system with a single aerodynamic tube and highly efficient filter media. The systems are available in two materials. The first is Polyethylene, which is used to produce 57 and 63 series intake systems. The second one is aluminum, which can be found on the 69 and 77 series intake systems.
Advantages of K&N IntakesThe benefits of adding a K&N intake system to your car are plenty. Firstly, it will increase your vehicle’s horsepower and torque, while also improving fuel economy and the appearance of your engine bay. What’s more, it will deliver a satisfying, more aggressive exhaust note at higher RPMs. Each K&N intake includes an oversized filtering unit, which can go up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, unlike paper filters that can become clogged easily and cannot be washed or reused. In other words, with K&N products, you will never have to replace your air filter again.
Why Install an Aftermarket Intake?Internal combustion engines all work as large air pumps. Air goes in, fuel is added, combustion occurs, and air goes out. This means there are two ways of increasing power: getting more air into the engine or making it easier for air to get out of the engine. Your air intake is responsible for filtering air before it enters your engine. Dirty air can damage the engine cylinder walls, so a high-quality filter is a must-have item. With a K&N system or filter, you increase airflow through the filter, which means more air is pulled into the engine. K&N does this without reducing filtration qualities, so your engine will live a long life.
