I currently use the HP-1004 K&N.
I am looking for an appropriate oversize K&N oil filter.

I am aware of the Mobil1 M1-105 oversize..unfortunatly they are not available in Ontario.
Thanks

Hmmm...keep me informed if you ever find the K&N oversized oil filter.

If Mobil1 M1-105 is not available, you can always try the Amsoil oversized (rated above M1-105) filter. Part # = SDF-44

Well after a little research.... I have been told that the HP-1005 is an oversize filter (in diameter only)
So I went down to my local auto shop that carries K&N this morning and .. of course.. they dont carry the 1005 in general stock. -its a special order-.. and if it doesnt fit.. I am stuck with it.

Has anyone seen the 1005 and do they match..???
Thanks

what is the benefit of an oversize oil filter?

jean

The major benefit that I am looking for is more filtering capacity, or filtering surface area, and it adds just a little more oil capacity running through the system.

I did it for my car just so it's easier to just dump 5 quarts in the crank case rather than measuring out 4.6qts. like the book says. I did it with the Fram (please, no flames) but then found it's equivilant with Wix. I do have to keep the old box for the Wix because if you just go to the counter and tell them what you have you'll get something completely different.

Anyone..???

the 1005 is correct, but i've only used the amsoil/mobil 1 filters.
