I use the Amsoil filter or the Harley filter. As for oil I only use the Amsoil MCV 20W50 as tested beats them all. My second choice would be the Mobil 20W50 V Twin oil. Check out the Amsoil site at ww.amsoil.com for they have had some 17 20W50 oils and 16 or so 10W40 oils tested. No I am not a dealer for what it is worth. Have a great week-end all.

Sambo - U got it right. 5 micron is the criteria. Buy HD 5 micron and be sure. What is the big deal for saving $ 2 on an oil filter????

Harley 5 micron
+1 on the HD "super" filter, the one with 5 micron.
But thanks just the same for all the useful info.

Does anybody know what the psi rating on the Harley oil filter by-pass valve is? According to this site, http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/FilterXRef.html, these filters all have a psi of 8 and the ones in blue have a better than average micron rating. Just curious.

Harley Black. If you need to pinch pennies I would do it on something other than oil filters. I am a marine mechanic and you can't tell me if a filter fits it will work, I've seen engines taken out by oil and filters. Mainly performance engines but aren't these performance engines.

As much as i have tried to ignore this comment, sorry but i can't. So what your saying is when i go to change my oil and filter in my Dodge truck i should go to a Dodge dealer and get the oil and filter there because it's specked for my motor? Surely you jest. If you think a Harley oil filter is the best oil filter for your bike then so be it. I'm not going to put one on my bike when i can put a far superior filter on it, and it does work, no maybe about it. I have no idea how much a HD filter costs and i never will. Next you'll be saying we should only put HD oil in our bike that is contracted out to some oil Co that submitted the lowest bid to HD. You do what you want i could care less, but i'll continue to spin them Purolator filters on and dump in the Amsoil for the BEST protection for my bike.
