K&N CM-8016 High-Flow Reusable Air Filter

When you’re putting your Can-Am Defender to work or exploring rugged trails, your engine needs to breathe freely to deliver maximum torque and efficiency. A clogged or restrictive paper filter can choke your performance, which is why the K&N High-Flow Air Filter is a essential Racing Performance upgrade. At Moto-House MX, we know that UTV owners demand reliability, and switching to K&N ensures your engine receives superior protection while unlocking increased horsepower and throttle response.

The CM-8016 is constructed with K&N’s legendary pleated cotton gauze media, providing a massive filtration area that allows for longer service intervals compared to standard filters. This OEM Replacement is designed to fit directly into your factory airbox, featuring an application-specific sealing bead to ensure a vacuum-tight fit without the need for fuel-management modifications. Made in the USA, this filter is washable and reusable, arriving pre-oiled and ready to ride for immediate performance gains.

To maintain peak filtration efficiency, inspect your K&N filter every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, but only clean it when the wire screen is no longer visible through the dirt—over-cleaning can actually reduce its efficiency.
