Like I said before, when they first came out all the old timers screamed not to use them (despite the fact that the factory said they were an upgrade to the original filter).
The factory is correct, they can and are used by many of us, without the horror stories coming true.
We have argued this before, and no doubt we will again...

Marty, there are probably thousands of EVO owners who use oil filters with anti drain back valves in them.

Sorry but...Wrong is Wrong.. You can put type F tranny fluid in yer Cheby!!! Or Dextron in yer old Ford.. it will still go..But...Water will make yer Automatic transmission Go, too...
Now...We do Know what an ADBV is? and How it is employed?? and thereby Know, it is Not needed nor Desireable on the System of an Older Harley! But Hell...What is just another Restrictiuon....

We use the 60weight valvoline and i add 1/2 quart of Lucas oil stabilizer to both the engine oil and trans oil shovel / pan and down to the first bike built
1000 people will tell you when you ask about oil something you had not thought of like adding peanuts -
100 machines have come to us over the last year and this is what we do NO ONE has complained and bought what we told them to buy

Hey 35 years we used Type F trans fluid in the power glide - reason the f oil grabs the discs with no slip - trust me we tried both and the time ticket that is something your familiar with tells the story - dex slides into gear f type can cherp the tire

invented by a guy who I moved his trucking company into the middle of the USA after the ww2 and running west in the summer was killing his truck engines so he hired chemical engineers to develop a booster for engine oil with reducing heat in mind - Lucas is the name of the product look the guy up on line and read what he did and how

1/2 to 3/4 of a quart off Lucas additive - we use it in everything as it proved its self over and over again
