Cadillac and Saturn Owners Get High Flow Rates with K&N Cartridge Oil Filter

The Saturn L Series was based on the European Opel Vectra, but modified for the U.S. market. The Catera was also produced from an Opel design and was intended as a different kind of Cadillac. It was made without a V8 engine.

A replacement gasket is included to ensure a positive seal on the cartridge housing to the engine block. K&N's PS-7001 slips into the OE housing for an easy fit.

Carlson qualified on the pole with team owner Darryl Atkins one row behind on the grid. After 12 laps, Carlson held off the competition using the SXV 550’s horsepower. “The long front straight and sweeping first corner suited the Aprilla,” said Atkins. “But it was not a cake walk. The level of competition has steadily increased over the years in the large displacement class. Carlson, however, proved his talent on the front straight by stretching his lead. By mid race he started to gap the field and won by over ten seconds.”

“I am so fired up that we took a win in our first round,” said West Bend, Wisconsin native Carlson. “The team gave me a great bike and we made very few changes to the set-up over the weekend. Darryl’s development work last year is paying off now, and it’s a huge bonus that he is a teammate.”

Atkins finished in fifth place. “We had ideal machines for this track,” he said. “The chassis really worked for us and we finally had a course where the bikes could really run.”

Team Factory Aprilla uses K&N products on its bikes. “We use K&N Air and Oil Filters,” said Atkins. “We tested with K&N prior to the event and our bikes ran better. It feels like we gained 2 plus horsepower on the track.”

The next round of the AMA Supermoto Championship will be at Englishtown, New Jersey on June 3rd.
