The K&N Filters RU-1048 is a universal performance air filter engineered to improve airflow to the engine, helping increase horsepower, enhance throttle response, and improve overall engine performance. Featuring K&N's advanced filter media, it combines high airflow with outstanding filtration, making it suitable for both stock engines and high-performance applications.
The filter element is constructed from four layers of oiled cotton gauze, working together to capture dust, dirt, and other harmful contaminants while maintaining excellent airflow. This design provides outstanding engine protection without restricting performance.
Built from durable premium materials, the RU-1048 is designed for a long service life and can be cleaned and reused. Under normal highway driving conditions, the filter typically requires cleaning only every 120,000 km (75,000 miles), helping reduce maintenance costs and environmental waste compared to disposable air filters.
The filter comes pre-oiled and ready for installation, making it a quick and easy performance upgrade. Its universal design makes it suitable for a wide variety of vehicles and custom intake systems where a high-flow air filter is required.

K&N's replacement filter is the perfect combination of high flow, effective filtration, durability and dust protection. K&N's filter media have been tested both by themselves and by independent laboratories for the ISO5011 filtration standard by SAE. The goal was to produce a filter that had the best possible flow, was reusable and guaranteed the best possible protection for the engine. The result landed on a cotton filter media that is fully reusable by washing when it gets dirty!
Many see the improved flow and the extra horsepower as the biggest advantage. Others see the economy in the whole thing as you no longer need to replace the air filter at every other service. Now you can instead clean it and reuse it. With the help of 'K&N's Servicekit', you easily restore the filter, which K&N recommends to be done after 80 000 kilometers. It makes your filter like new again and another 80 000 kilometers can be added to the odometer. In other words, you already start saving money here instead of using cardboard filters that have to be replaced!
K&N's filters are designed to increase the efficiency of your car or pickup. By improving flow by 50% through the filter, this upgrade gives you better throttle response as well as more torque across the entire power band. The multi-layered cotton filter gives you more power but also ensures that the engine gets the best possible protection!
