Harley filter mainly b/c I just end up picking one up at the $tealer.

I have used HD filters in the past and were satisfied with them. The price is competitive too as well. I still use them from time to time...but I avoid the chrome ones though. If I am at the dealer, I might buy one or two.

I have used WIX for the past five years with no trouble at all. These are a little less and readily available since the nearest HD dealership is about an hour away. I just get the black ones and not the chrome ones...since they get tossed after the service interval anyways. Besides, the black ones do not look nearly as dirty as the chrome ones do after a ride in the rain or a dirt road.

I don't believe that it is all that critical who makes the filter, but it is important to get one with the same specifications. Just because it screws on and fits....does NOT mean it should be used on the bike.

 

Harley filter mostly due to availability and the fact that I didn't get a clear reading of an acceptable filter substitute from reasearching this site and other links obtained from this site. I would have tried a K&N, but I didn't want to order.
After researching this forum and many other oil testing websites that I got links to from this forum, I put Mobil 1 V-Twin in my bike Monday at 4200 miles.
The reason is more for availability over AMSOIL and Redline than any other. I found that these three oils were superior in tests to other oils. I would have put Redline 20W60 in the engine along with the Redline Shockproof that I put in my transmission if I had ordered the transmission lube but the Shockproof was given to me and I didn't have to order it.
I put Penzoil 10W40 in the primary because I think that's all it needs. This is based on researching this forum for information about primary fluids and asking a question about heat of the primary affecting the oil.
I am certain that the synthetic oil in the engine will protect my engine vetter than dinosaur oil in the Louisiana summer heat that is on its way.
I am certain that the Redline Heavy Shockproof gear lube will perform the best in my transmission over dinosaur oil. I would have no problem putting Mobil 1 gear lube in the transmission or the AMSOIL but, as I said, the Redline was given to me.

 

Does the Purolator filter come in Chrome??

 

The one filter I will NEVER use is Fram....I have read to many BAD things about them and will NOT have them on any of my vehicles

I like the Purolator filter. I personally don't care for chrome filters... The heat rejection properties of chrome are lousy.

I use the FRAM PH-6022 oil filter on my 2006 Dyna Street Bob. about $5 compared to the $14 HD filter. I only use FRAM or WIX filters. it's not like Harley makes the filter so you know it's probably one of those two filters anyways.
