I have not used HKS but have had friends have issues with oiling them. I used an AEM dry flow for 5yrs on my 360whp Evo and my UOA's proved it filtered very well. Better yet??? You don't have to oil it.

This is the oil filter, not air filter.

As I know, HKS filter has no by-pass valve (=only for racing).
Absolutely not for all-season using.

Oil filter recomanded change every 2000 miles, just use a Wix XP filter and I'm sure results with flow will be more than ok for 1/3 or less the cost.

Ok sorry should of used the link. Personally I wouldn't use their filters stick with OEM.

No mention of efficiency at all ... it's probably a coarse sieve.

Somebody buy one and send it over, I'll run it then cut it open... even if it is pink...

I mean hey, it has a super intake flap, a super stealth frame and well its just super...

That makes an oil filter a "sports" oil filter.

The most important question.... how much HP/Torque it add?

0.01 HP ... or 7.46 watts, the power of an incandescent night light.

Just doing a bit of research on these filters...

I discovered they have a neodymium magnet inside the filter.

I am not aware of any other filter which has this.

That is true, however, you could just buy a Filtermag or a magnetic drain plug, and save a great deal of money.

The site says it is tested at 20 microns, but it doesn't say what percentage of debris it removes. That seems like a pointless measurement to me.

When I wanted what might be the best filter, I used an RP filter.

LOL

....still interesting though, I do like the idea of a small internal magnet.

But yeah no efficiency data, looks like some sort of synthetic media... could just run a WixXP for alot cheaper... maybe even repaint it a slick color and dremel out the intake holes.....

I got my hands on one of these for a Honda application. It is really small, even smaller than a PH4967 (Toyota Filter). Sitting on the base plates it comes about to the bottom of the sure grip on a PH7317 filter.

The packaging and presentation is very appealing - actually running it not so much.

Would look good on the mantle.

I did find this UK video of one cut apart:
