K&N Engine Air Filter PL-1014 for Polaris RZR - High-Flow Washable Cotton Gauze

The K&N PL-1014 is a high-flow, washable cotton-gauze engine air filter engineered to boost airflow and protect Polaris RZR and similar SxS/ATV engines while remaining reusable for long-term value.

Designed for side-by-sides, ATVs and UTVs, the K&N PL-1014 replaces the factory air element with a performance-focused filter that balances increased airflow with dependable filtration. Constructed from multiple layers of premium oiled cotton gauze and a robust frame, this filter is intended to deliver improved throttle response and potentially better acceleration while standing up to off-road dust and debris. It fits specific Polaris models across many recent years and installs with an OEM-style fit to simplify maintenance.

How will this filter affect performance on my Polaris RZR?

Fitting the PL-1014 can allow more air into the intake than the stock paper element, which often translates into crisper throttle response and the potential for modest horsepower gains under load. It’s engineered to work without mandatory fuel-management changes in most applications, though results vary by vehicle and conditions.

• High-flow cotton gauze media designed for increased air volume.
• Improved throttle response and acceleration in many riding scenarios.
• Works with stock engine tuning in most setups; tuning optional for optimization.

What protection and service life should I expect from the PL-1014?

The filter uses multiple layers of oiled cotton gauze plus a tack agent to trap dirt and contaminants while maintaining airflow. Because it’s washable and reusable, routine cleaning restores performance and extends service life compared with disposable paper filters.

• Premium gauze layers with a tack treatment to capture fine particles.
• Washable design—clean, re-oil, and reinstall for repeated use.
• Rugged frame and seals built for high dust-holding capacity in off-road conditions.

Will the PL-1014 fit my vehicle and is installation difficult?

The PL-1014 is made to match OEM dimensions and includes seamless sealing beads and custom seals where applicable for a precise fit. Installation is typically straightforward and follows the same steps as replacing the factory air element.

• Application-specific design for many Polaris RZR, RZR Pro XP, Turbo R, and related models (years listed in product details).
• OEM-style fit with seamless beads for simple, secure installation.
• No special tools required for most installations—swap like a stock filter.

How do I clean and maintain this reusable K&N filter?

Cleaning involves removing the filter, applying a K&N-approved cleaner, rinsing, letting it dry, and reapplying filter oil according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Regular inspection after dusty rides keeps performance consistent and extends the filter’s working life.

• Use K&N cleaner and oil or equivalent products to preserve filtration and airflow.
• Rinse with low-pressure water, air-dry completely, then re-oil evenly.
• Inspect seals and frame for damage during service intervals; replace if compromised.

Who is this for: The K&N PL-1014 is aimed at off-road enthusiasts and professional users who run Polaris RZR, RZR Pro XP, Turbo R and compatible SxS/UTV models and want improved airflow and reusable filtration. It suits riders who perform routine maintenance themselves, value longer service life over disposable filters, and want an OEM-style fit that stands up to trails, dunes, and worksite conditions. If you need exact compatibility, confirm your model year and trim against the vehicle list before purchase.
