HKS Limited Edition Purple Oil Filter 68mm x H65mm M20 P1.5
The Hybrid Sports Oil Filter from HKS is designed to minimise pressure drop on highly tuned engines. HKS have carefully designed the filter to offer better flow-rate when compared to a paper filter. This is especially important when using higher viscosity oil in highly tuned turbocharged engines.
The filter itself uses an unwoven cloth/plastic fibre composite element for high strength and low pressure drop.
A special super stealth frame stops the filter element from deforming. A neodymium magnet catches small metal particles and stops them flowing back into the engine.
The HKS filter also has enlarged intake holes inside the filter, again to ensure high flow rate.
The HKS name has become synonymous with high quality engineering construction and reliability in the racing, rally and performance car world, as demonstrated by its well integrated, quick expanding and revolutionary product range.
Led by Hiroyuki Hasegawa, a former engineer for Yamaha Motor Company, and his partner Goichi Kitagawa, the two secured a capital infusion from Sigma Automotive Co., Ltd. (hence the name “HKS ”), and began tuning gasoline powered engines in a dairy-farming shed at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan. A year later, Mr. Hasegawa designed and built the first aftermarket turbocharger for passenger cars and has never looked back.
For over 35 years, HKS products have been put to the test in drag racing, road racing, rallying, and top speed trials. HKS equipped vehicles have captured numerous racing championships and hold claim to a myriad of competition records using many “off the shelf”, race proven HKS components. As a result, HKS has been synonymous with “performance” in the automotive aftermarket industry for the past 35+years.
