What Brand Oil Filter Do You Use
#431
The best thing about the K&N filter, don't know how much better it is for filtering, I don't THINK it is that much better or worse than the Harley filter or any other filter, but that hex on the end of it for placement and removal gets my recommendation.

Its made by Hiflofiltro and they throw the nutt on the end, put it in a fancy box and charge $10.00 extra. Our filters are too easy to get to that a nut on the end is not even needed. So I buy 3 Hiflofiltro filters for the price of one K&N, same exact filter on the inside, and it is better than the HD filter. It has over twice the surface area of filter media as the OEM filter and is 22-25 microns. The Hiflofiltro is also cheaper than the OEM filter.

I would NEVER put a FRAM on ANYTHING.
Can't say if it's wrong model, but I have my oil pressure boosted, idling at 50 at startup, about 70 at rpm, then 20 and 50 when warm. The pressure won't hurt your motor, but stock pressures have destroyed many Frams, from what I've seen on the net.

Same filter, different name.

Maybe my next Hiflo filtro will have a nut, I still have a good stock of them without it for now though.

I ran some HiFlo filters until one I cut open had a big patch of rust inside. They're made in Vietnam and I figure their storage may have moisture problems, but don't quote me on that. Local dirt bike shop sells them.

I have learned through buying many oil filters, all brands will at some point have a rusty one make it to your garage. Best bet I have found is buy the fast movers and the chance of rust is lower. When I lived in Fayetteville NC the Purolator filters were $1.93 just last year. If I did not like the HIflofiltro so much I would use a Purolator on the bike too, best filter I ever used on any car or truck
One thing I do like about the Hiflofiltro filters is the ends are shrink wraped and oiled very well on the inside now, so rust is almost impossible to build up on them now.

Well, I'm glad to hear that, because the top rated Amsoil filter is way expensive. I tried to find the Purolator for my bike, but it was discontinued.
If bucks are tight, i'll probably go back to the HiFlo, thanks to you.
The element is probably 10feet stretched out, same as the old Purolator. The Harley element is a joke!
