For the 2015 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing season Peter Biondo will continue to drive the Phil Monteith owned, Sparco and K&N filters backed “Hatari” Pontiac Firebird in the Super Stock class

K&N sponsored NHRA drag racer Peter Biondo is the reigning NHRA Super Stock Champion, and will begin his 2015 season with the Circle K NHRA Winternationals in Pomona, California

The 55th annual Circle K Winternationals on February 5 through 8 in Pomona, California will signal the beginning of the 2015 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series. The Auto Club Raceway at Pomona will once again host the event described as one of drag racing’s grandest traditions. The start of a new season means new cars, drivers, teams, and sponsors will be revealed for the first time. The historic track in Pomona, California is known for being fast, smooth, and the location of many record setting runs. With everything new to see, and an exciting weekend of racing, NHRA fans will be equally entertained by what takes place on track as well as everything going on in the pits.

K&N sponsored NHRA drag racer Peter Biondo is the reigning NHRA Super Stock Champion, his fifth championship in this class, and will begin his 2015 season with the Circle K NHRA Winternationals in Pomona, California. Biondo will continue to drive the Phil Monteith owned, Sparco and K&N filters backed “Hatari” Pontiac Firebird in the Super Stock class. Biondo has captured three of his five Super Stock championships in this same car. He will also compete in the Stock Eliminator class with his 1969 Chevy Camaro backed by Biondo Racing Products and BracketRaces.com. While most people would be determined to stay on top, Peter Biondo realizes the odds are against him. Only two drivers have been able to win back to back championships in the modern-era of NHRA drag racing.

Justin Lamb, who is one of only four drivers to have earned NHRA national titles in six different categories, will begin the 2015 season by competing in both Stock and Super Stock classes

In addition to driving the Lamb Motorsports cars, Justin has committed to running Competition Eliminator events behind the wheel of the A-1 Transmissions backed Chevrolet Cobalt owned by Ken Reich and the Bowdish Family

Peter also admitted “It gets harder and harder to chase the championship every year. Not only does the competition get tougher, but priorities change.” Peter and his wife welcomed a new baby boy into their lives in August of 2014 and as Peter explained “We’re busy as parents, and it definitely makes it harder to get on an airplane or to jump in a motorhome to go racing each weekend!” Another NHRA National Champion and K&N supported driver, Justin Lamb, is looking forward to kicking off the 2015 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series season at the Circle K NHRA Winternationals. Lamb is one of only four drivers to have earned NHRA national titles in six different categories, and is by far the youngest of the group. He will begin the 2015 season by competing in both Stock and Super Stock categories at the Auto Club Raceway at Pomona. In addition to driving the Lamb Motorsports cars, Justin has committed to running a full schedule of Competition Eliminator events behind the wheel of the A-1 Transmissions backed Chevrolet Cobalt owned by Ken Reich and the Bowdish Family.

The K&N reusable air filter for 2007-2016 Jeep Wrangler JK models with a 2.8-liter common-rail diesel engine is built with K&N’s special tight weave cotton gauze for extra protection

The third generation 2007-2016 Jeep Wrangler, commonly known as the Wrangler JK, can be equipped with an optional 2.8L common-rail diesel four-cylinder engine. The common rail diesel (CRD) engine is produced by VM Motori Cento in Ferrara, Italy and produces excellent torque ratings that rival the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. However, the Jeep Wrangler 2.8L diesel L4 promises increased fuel efficiency and increased fuel range. Diesel engine technology is more commonly accepted outside of the United States, and as a result the Jeep Wrangler cannot be equipped with the 2.8L CRD engine in the U.S.

Filtration efficiency test results, following the internationally recognized ISO 5011 protocol with ISO coarse test dust, show that the 2007-2016 Jeep Wrangler diesel air filter is 98.95% efficient overall

Owners of 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 Jeep Wrangler JK 2.8L diesel models can equip their CRD powered SUV with a replacement diesel air filter from the authority in washable air filters, K&N. This reusable air filter is designed to fit into the stock air filter box of 2007-2016 Jeep Wrangler JK models with a 2.8-liter common-rail diesel engine without any need for modifications. K&N replacement air filters are made with specially woven cotton gauze. Because cotton, by nature, is more breathable than paper, a K&N replacement diesel air filter can flow more air than a typical paper air filter. More air can result in increased performance and better acceleration.

Diesel engine technology is more commonly accepted outside of the United States, and as a result the Jeep Wrangler JK cannot be equipped with the 2.8L CRD engine in the U.S.

It would be false to assume that an increase in airflow with a K&N diesel air filter comes at the expense of filtration efficiency and engine protection. K&N engineers place filtration efficiency and dirt retention as a priority when developing a diesel air filter. This diesel air filter uses design elements that go above and beyond our standard automotive air filters. K&N knows that a Jeep Wrangler JK diesel could be subjected to some of the most extreme conditions on the planet. This is why K&N used our special tight weave cotton gauze sandwiched between wire mesh to form extra deep 1-1/4” pleats. Four layers of 1-1/4” deep pleated tight-weave cotton filter media allows diesel air filter 33-5023 to outflow the stock air filter, hold a lot of dirt for long service intervals, and offer 98.95% overall filtration efficiency.

K&N performs filtration efficiency testing following the ISO 5011 protocol with ISO coarse test dust to guarantee that our air filters will provide high airflow without sacrificing engine protection. Calling this test dust coarse is almost absurd, as 22% of the dust is rated at 10 microns or less. To provide perspective, a human blood cell is typically between 6 and 8 microns across. Detailed filtration test results for diesel air filter 33-5023 are available for viewing.

Perhaps more exciting than the increased performance that comes with a K&N replacement diesel air filter is the fact that they are also a washable and reusable air filter. The ability to wash and reuse a K&N air filter means that it will pay for itself over time. The K&N diesel air filter for 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 Jeep Wrangler JK 2.8L diesel models can be washed and made like new using one of the K&N Recharger air filter service kits. Please visit the K&N Air Filter Cleaner & Filter Cleaning Accessories page on KNfilters.com to view available air filter cleaner and oil products.

The K&N air filter for 2007-2016 Jeep Wrangler JK models with a 2.8-liter common-rail diesel engine is backed by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty. Replacement air filter 33-5023 is designed to provide increased performance, reusability, and long air filter service intervals without any need for modifications or tuning for the following Jeep Wrangler JK diesel models:

2016 Jeep Wrangler 2.8L L4 Diesel
2015 Jeep Wrangler 2.8L L4 Diesel

The K&N reusable air filter for 2015-2016 Chrysler 200 2.4L or 3.6L

The second generation Chrysler 200 has been completely redesigned and utilizes a new Fiat based platform which, when combined with the 2.4L Tigershark L4 engine and a 9-speed automatic transmission, is able to provide an EPA estimated 36 highway MPG. Chrysler is calling the 2015 and 2016 200 the next generation mid-size sedan and hopes to compete with top sellers such as the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion, and Honda Accord. Another advantage of the Fiat based U.S. Compact Wide vehicle platform is the ability to configure the 2015-2016 Chrysler 200 with all-wheel drive and an optional 295 horsepower 3.6L Pentastar V6. Seeing as the 2015-2016 Chrysler 200 boasts best in class available horsepower, an array of class exclusive features such as the 9-speed automatic transmission, and adaptive cruise control, rival automakers should consider the 2015-2016 Chrysler 200 as a serious threat.

K&N performs extensive testing to ensure K&N replacement air filters will stand the test of time and provide increased airflow without compromising filtration efficiency

No matter if 2015-2016 Chrysler 200 owners opt for the fuel efficient 2.4L Tigershark MultiAir II engine, or upgrade to the 3.6L Pentastar V6, a K&N replacement air filter can help provide upgraded performance and acceleration. K&N replacement air filters are made with cotton gauze filter media woven to K&N’s specifications. Because cotton, by nature, is more breathable than the paper air filter media used in the average automotive air filter, a K&N replacement air filter can provide an increase in airflow. More air and less restriction for the 2015-2016 Chrysler 200 mid-size sedan can result in a horsepower, torque, and acceleration upgrade.
