Never ever use a Fram Filter..just my 2 cents. Check out Bob the oil guy, there is a link to filter testing there and Fram is rated last..I stick to the HD 5 micron black filters..get for about $7.00 with my discount.

 

Mobil One Vtwin oil is just about the best synthetic to put in anything......while the Fram is just about the worst oil filter to put on anything.

You picked out some good oil....now pick out a good filter. Fram just does not cut it.

 

I agree. Fram's quality is questionable. Stay with the 5 micron rating also.

thanks for the advice, i will stick with the harley oil filters.

 

i have been using frams on my 85 for almost 20 years. i never had a problem with them. i get tham at my local fleet-farm store when they are on sale for $4.50 each.

 

Wildeano,
It seems like I beat this one to death anytime I see something on here about oil filters. But, as sure as I'm setting here...I believe it to be right. K&N makes an oil filter for your bike that you can order (in chrome or black) at your local autozone. It also has a 17mm nut built right into the end of it so removal is a snap. I won't use anything else. Check it out at www.knfilters.com

P.S. By the way, I am just as sold on mobil 1 for v-twins!

 

i have seen those k&n oil filters online, i will stop buy auto zone tommorow and order 2 or three, or , ill order online.
i like the nut on the end for removal...... thanks for the info...

I've read all sorts of write-ups on filters and the plain Fram filters are always rated very low. I used them years ago, but once the bad press from reputable sources starting showing up I moved on to better brands, usually OEM. The Fram Ultra Guard, on the other hand, is actually rated pretty well and is supposedly an excellent filter.
While I believe many of the "boutique" filters to be overpriced, most are decent and do a good job of filtering oil.

I'm with scofield333 on this- only H-D filters for my bikes, & they're only $7 for the black ones from my dealer.

 

I agree with this ...I would use K&N filters if I didn't get such a good deal one the OEM filters. They are a top of the line filter for sure. I am also with Wildeano about the Mobile V-Twin, I use it in the motor, I use H-D fomula + in the Primary and Red Shcok Proof Heavy in the tranny. I am very happy with this combo
