Superior Filtration
The unique construction and full-synthetic media of AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Oil Filters allow them to provide unmatched performance in motorcycles and other power sports equipment. EaOM Filters last longer, stop smaller dirt particles and offer less restriction than other filters. Ea Motorcycle Oil Filters provide filtering efficiency of 98.7 percent at 15 microns, outperforming the best cellulose/synthetic blend media on the market. For maximum engine protection, AMSOIL recommends changing the EaOM every time you change oil.

Recommended for use up to twice the motorcycle manufacturer change interval (miles/hours) or one year, whichever comes first, in engines, transmissions and primary chaincases. For Big Twin Harley-Davidson transmissions only, follow the Harley-Davidson recommended drain interval for synthetic oil of up to 20,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. When using an engine filter other than AMSOIL Ea, change the filter at standard intervals.

AMSOIL filters use synthetic media licensed to them (exclusively) by the Donaldson Filtration Corp. out of Minnesota. They use the same type nano-fiber synthetic media in their Endurance filters for heavy equipment. 99% of the EAOM filters are manf by Wix for AMSOIL. They are not Wix filter though.

With how difficult is was taking the stock filter off when I did my first service, I'm leaning towards the KN with the 17mm nut on the end. Sure would make my life easier if I didn't have to use a friggen channel lock to twist that 'Motha' off. Right now I'm using the Amsoil filter but I've always liked the way KN is put together and hell their a couple bucks less than the Amsoil and its available at most Auto Zone. Of course I havn't varified they carry the KN-171B yet, but the locater on their website says they do?

There's an easy solution.
Just take an allen wrench, and remove the bolt that holds the crankcase sensor in. Then, lift the sensor out of the crankcase and set it aside. It pops right out, you may need to "nudge it" with a flat screwdriver blade to help it out.
Now it's easy to access the filter with a standard filter wrench. I usually cut up a cardboard cereal box, and make a "chute" to catch the oil and direct it towards my drain pan.
When the new filter is on, wipe off the crankcase sensor, push it back in, and put the bolt back. Be careful tightening it, it's a small bolt, don't over-torque it.
