Oil filter question

Z Runner · 04-02-2016, 09:01 AM

Hi all, I'm in the middle of installing oil cooler and switching to red line oil and just noticed I recived different oil filter from what I ordered. So my question is can I use K&N HP1005 on a Z with redline 5w30? Or should I get another filter?

If the question is "Is the filter chemically compatible with the oil?", then yes.

If the question is "Is the filter mechanically compatible with the engine?", then probably but I'm not 100% sure.
