K&N®-Sponsored Drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr. Set for a Strong 2018 Season
- May 16, 2018
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® has enjoyed a long partnership with O’Reilly Auto Parts, and is proud to announce that K&N® performance fuel filters will now be available at O’Reilly locations nationwide—making it convenient for you to pick up your replacement performance parts in-store at your nearest location or at www.knfilters.com! Whether you like to do your shopping in-store or from the comfort of your home, K&N® and O’Reilly have the fuel filter for you. K&N® gasoline and diesel fuel filters are available now in-store at O’Reilly Auto Parts, or online at www.oreillyauto.com or www.knfilters.com! |
Hot Wheels® is hitting the pavement—combing the United States for custom cars worthy of being die-cast in 1/64 scale.
The first sixteen cars launched by Hot Wheels—known as “The Original Sweet 16”—included a custom Corvette, Mustang, and Firebird, and reflected the rich car culture of the late 1960s. Five decades later, Hot Wheels continues to value impeccable standards of design and performance—and is searching for cars that reflect their passion for ingenuity and creativity.
The Hot Wheels Legends Tour launched from Hot Wheels Headquarters in Los Angeles, and will be making stops at fourteen Walmart stores across the U.S.—including New York, Washington D.C., Kansas City, Nashville, Chicago, Seattle, and Phoenix. Each location will have its own suggested theme reflective of its automotive history—Detroit, for example, will have an “American Muscle” theme—though custom vehicles from all genres will be welcome to enter the contests held at each location.
At the kick-off event on April 28 at Hot Wheels Headquarters, a custom 1948 Ford F5 owned by Mitch Allread took the honor of being the first car inducted into the new “Sweet 16”. On May 5 in Kansas City, a powder-blue 1938 Dodge school bus, owned by Randy Roeber, was selected as the city’s finalist. Both will be competing for the ultimate prize at SEMA.
The next Hot Wheels Legends Tour stop will be in New York/New Jersey on May 19, 2018, at the Walmart Supercenter in Teterboro. |
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.

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
