Description
Product Overview
The K&N Premium Oil Filter HP-7038 is engineered for drivers who demand consistent engine protection over extended service intervals. Constructed from robust steel, the filter houses a high‑efficiency media that captures contaminants while allowing a generous flow of oil to critical engine components. Its design supports up to 20,000 miles between changes, making it an ideal choice for owners of high‑performance vehicles that run on synthetic motor oils. The filter’s dimensions—2.36 x 2.36 x 4.65 inches—fit seamlessly into the engine bays of a wide range of 2009‑2023 Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen models, ensuring a precise, vehicle‑specific fit without the need for modifications.
Beyond its physical attributes, the HP‑7038 incorporates a machined exterior that resists corrosion and wear, extending the filter’s service life even under harsh operating conditions. The M14 x 1.5 thread size aligns perfectly with OEM specifications, providing a secure seal that prevents oil leaks and maintains pressure stability throughout the engine’s operating range. With a weight of just 1.76 ounces, the filter adds minimal mass to the engine, preserving the vehicle’s balance and handling characteristics.
Usage
This oil filter is designed for everyday drivers as well as enthusiasts who push their vehicles to the limits. Whether you are commuting in city traffic, cruising on the highway, or tackling spirited driving on winding roads, the HP‑7038 delivers reliable filtration that protects engine bearings, pistons, and camshafts from abrasive particles. Its high‑capacity media accommodates the increased flow rates demanded by modern turbocharged engines, ensuring that oil reaches every moving part quickly and consistently.
Owners of Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen models will appreciate the filter’s compatibility with the latest synthetic motor oils, which often have lower viscosity and higher performance characteristics. The filter’s efficient pleat design maintains optimal pressure drop, preventing oil starvation during rapid acceleration or high‑load scenarios. Regular installation during scheduled maintenance—every 20,000 miles or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer—helps preserve engine longevity and reduces the likelihood of costly repairs.
