K & N filters have a nut on the bottom...

What bothers me is the ridiculously thin case. NONE of the others that I compared were even close to being as thin.

FWIW, depending on what vehicle we are talking about... when I have the choice I shop between Delco, Wix, Mobil, and Amsoil filters.

I see you went with Wix, I'm not needed here.
