K&N® Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Filters Offer Exceptional Engine Protection
There’s no getting around it—carbon deposits and contaminants in fuel can lead to a reduction in fuel economy, an increase in negative emissions, and a decrease in your vehicle’s performance. Fuel quality can be variable, but there’s one thing that you can definitely control—the quality of your fuel filter. Poorly filtered fuel can cause rapid wear and/or build up on the intake valves and the fuel injectors—and can even clog carburetor jets. When an engine receives a high volume of deposits, the following issues may present themselves:
• Knocking/pinging • Rough idle • Reduced fuel economy • Higher emissions When it comes to preventing expensive damage to your vehicle’s fuel delivery system, you need a high-quality line of defense. K&N® performance fuel filters are engineered to the same rigorous standards as the world-famous High-Flow Air Filters™, and feature durable construction, high flow rates, and outstanding filtration. A blend of cellulose and synthetic filtration media removes most rust, dirt, scale, and other contaminants—helping to keep your engine functioning reliably, even in the presence of polluted fuel.
Whether you’re searching for gasoline or diesel applications or for an in-line or cartridge style, you can visit www.knfilters.com to locate the filter that fits your vehicle. High-quality materials and meticulous engineering allow for durability even under tough driving conditions, and with hard-wearing construction and a 1-Year Limited Warranty, you can feel confident in K&N’s reputation for superb quality and fantastic customer service.

K&N® 57-1570 Air Intake System for 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0L V6 EcoDiesel
Designed to be compatible with 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0L V6 turbocharged EcoDiesel models, the K&N® 57-1570 Air Intake System provides a guaranteed increase in horsepower and torque for power-conscious Jeep owners.
The 3.0L V6 turbo engine provides a modest amount of power, but is paired with a stock air intake system that may cause unnecessary air turbulence and slow the volume of airflow reaching the engine.
The 57-1570 system also offers a black powder-coated aluminum heat shield, protecting the air filter and intake air from the high temperatures radiating from the engine. The air intake tube funnels airflow directly into the engine’s throttle body for a guaranteed increase in horsepower and torque.
The 57-1570 is designed for use in the following vehicles: 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0L V6 Diesel Engine: All Models
• Will using a K&N® replacement air intake system void my factory warranty? No. In the United States, in order for the manufacturer of a warranted product to void or deny warranty coverage of a repair due to the use of an aftermarket part, the manufacturer must provide proof that the aftermarket part is the cause of the necessary repair. These rights are protected under the Consumer Products Warranty Act of 1975 (also referred to as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act). • Are K&N® performance air intake systems or RK-series custom air cleaner assemblies emissions legal in the U.S.? Performance intake systems are legal for street use in most areas of the United States. In California, and in specific regions which have adopted California air quality regulations, only CARB-exempt performance intakes are legal for street use. Check the K&N catalog or website for vehicle applications and specific CARB status for each vehicle and air intake. • Can a K&N® product cause my Check Engine Light or Service Light to come on? It is possible that the Check Engine Light may come on after installing a K&N air filter or performance intake system. This does not necessarily mean that there is something wrong with your air filter or intake; sometimes, the higher air flow and lower restriction provided by the K&N product will uncover an existing mechanical or electronic issue with your vehicle. In rare cases, you may have a K&N product which was manufactured outside of its design tolerances, causing sensors in your vehicle to read data outside of their normal expected values. In either case, the K&N Warranty Department can work with you to narrow down the cause of the Check Engine Light and correct the issue. • How much horsepower does a K&N® cold air intake add? Dynamometer tests indicating horsepower and torque increases over the OEM intake system will appear on the "Product Details" page for each of our performance intake systems. • What does a cold air intake do for a car? Cold air intakes allow for increased airflow to your engine, which results in an increase in torque and acceleration for your vehicle. • Can cold air intakes improve gas mileage? In theory, a cold air intake could increase the gas mileage of your vehicle due to improved airflow which allows the engine to run more efficiently and require less fuel. However, K&N does not make any guarantees in terms of increased gas mileage with the use of our filters or intakes.

K&N® 69-7084TS Air Intake System for 2017-2018 Nissan Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60
Engineered for the 2017-2018 Nissan Pathfinder 3.5L V6 and the 2017-2018 Infiniti QX60 3.5L V6 models, the K&N® 69-7084TS Air Intake System provides a marked increase in horsepower and torque for the performance-minded automotive enthusiast. The 2018 Nissan Pathfinder’s 3.5L Direct Injection Gasoline™ (DIG) DOHC 24-Valve V6 engine produces 284 horsepower (increased from 260-hp in previous models) with 259 lb-ft of torque, and a maximum towing capacity of 6,000 lbs. The new model also features an electronic variable timing control (e-VTC), automatic emergency breaking, and mirror bore cylinder coating.
Both engines feature an abundance of power, but are manufactured with generic stock air intake systems that often direct airflow inefficiently, limiting the volume of air that reaches the engine.
The 69-7084TS system also features a custom powder-coated aluminum heat shield, protecting the air filter and intake air from the high temperatures radiating from the engine. The cold air intake tube funnels airflow directly into the engine’s throttle body for a guaranteed increase in horsepower and torque.
Installing your new cold air intake system is relatively simple and typically takes 90 minutes or less to complete, as the design utilizes existing factory mounting points, incorporates the factory mass air sensor and crank case vent hose, and requires only basic hand tools. Since the intake system allows for the removal of unnecessary stock air intake components, your engine bay will be left with a cleaner, more attractive appearance after installation.
The 69-7084TS is designed for use in the following vehicles: 2018 Nissan Pathfinder 3.5L V6 Fuel Injection: All Models 2018 Infiniti QX60 3.5L V6 Fuel Injection: All Models 2017 Nissan Pathfinder 3.5L V6 Fuel Injection: All Models 2017 Infiniti QX60 3.5L V6 Fuel Injection: All Model

K&N-Sponsored Off-Road Veteran Greg Adler Kicks Off Racing Season in Chandler, AZ
With more than a decade of racing under his belt, Greg Adler is a short-course veteran.
“I started racing off-road when I was just out of college,” Adler commented. “It was something I always wanted to do—so in 1989, I started racing the Baja 1000, and did the desert thing for a while. Short course came to the west coast, and once I saw this up close and got a taste of it, I was hooked.”
K&N products have been a big part of Adler’s racing career, and he continues to use a K&N E-3760 14” round air filter in his 800-horsepower Pro4 short course truck. “When we’ve been racing out here, whether it be in the desert or short course, we always look to partner with the best companies that we can—and K&N has been just a terrific partner in my racing since my early days,” he remarked. “There’s no other product you can buy where you get that bang for your buck with performance. We’re running fifty thousand-dollar motors, so I need to have the best protection for this thing to keep it alive—hopefully all year long. The K&N filters do that for me.” While contact with another vehicle necessitated an early end to Adler’s race in Chandler, Arizona on April 14, the team is already preparing for the upcoming races on Estero Beach in Ensenada, Mexico. We can look forward to watching Greg in the Lucas Oil Off-Road Series. His next race will be on May 19 in Ensenada, Mexico, at the 4th Annual Rockstar Energy Battle South of the Border presented by Lucas Oil. |
Straight Up Racing Debuts The “Major Payne”: A Modified Tank Featuring K&N Filters
Bill Payne isn’t afraid to venture into the unconventional—and his newest demonstration of automotive ingenuity comes in the form of a 9,600-pound modified tank.
The Major Payne is modified from an M5 Half-Track Personnel Carrier—produced from 1942 to 1943—though the only original elements remaining are the tracks, suspension, and rear drive axle. Twelve thousand pounds of weight was dropped in the build, which took over a year to complete. A custom-built reverser box provides the tank with remarkable agility, allowing it to safely pivot on its back idler—offering the illusion of wheelies without risking spinal damage for the driver.
Watching the Major Payne perform, the limitations appear to be few. A big-block Chevrolet engine with JE pistons, AFR cylinder heads, and a Weiand 8-71 blower furnish the Major Payne with a whopping 1,100 horsepower. The tank is also decked out with a high-flow K&N air filter and performance oil filter.
You can catch the Straight Up Racing team—and the Major Payne—on May 11 at the Magic Valley Speedway in Twin Falls, Idaho, as part of the Malicious Monster Truck Tour. |
Campaign Seeks Awareness for K&N-Supported Foundation “Fallen Patriots"
Over the course of the next month, a very special American flag will be travelling eight thousand miles as part of PepsiCo’s fourth annual “Rolling Remembrance” campaign—pursuing awareness for the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation (Fallen Patriots). Fallen Patriots seeks to provide college funding to the children of military servicemembers killed in the line of duty—relieving a financial burden that often amounts to over thirty thousand dollars per student after federal assistance. Since 2002, the foundation has provided over 21 million dollars in scholarship assistance to military families, allowing the children of our most exceptional and heroic servicemembers to attend university.
K&N President Jesse Spungin added, “It is important to everyone at K&N to give back to the families who sacrificed so much for us. For almost fifty years, K&N has been an American company, and we owe it to these men and women. Helping an organization like Fallen Patriots is one way we can help the legacy of these American Heroes live on in the lives of their children.” For more information or to donate, please visit https://support.fallenpatriots.org |
