What is the micron rating and efficiency of a K&N air filter?
Air filters are not measured by micron size. As an industry standard, air filters are tested in accordance with the ISO 5011 test protocol to measure capacity (the physical amount of dust a filter can hold before cleaning is necessary) and efficiency (the filter’s ability to trap and hold dust). See technical service bulletin 89-5R from the Filter Manufacturer’s Council. The dust selected for the test contains a specified distribution of different particle sizes according to ISO standards.
