(oil on the rubber motor mount is not a good thing)
what a good idea cHarley! It is such a messy job, this should help. I never would have thought of it. thanks again.

Wont filter such as these pay off the long run? Expensive, yes, but it claims one micron debris removal while the HD spec is 30 microns. Someone posted that he wont use some filters since they spec at 5-10 microns instead of 30. Isn't a small number indicative of an ability to finlter out even minute particulates? Perhaps I'm confused. What's the deal?


GREEN AND PERFORMANCE. WASHABLE AND REUSABLE. NO TOXIC DISPOSAL.
American made and covered under Multiple U.S. Patents.

Pure Power! Lifetime Oil Filter®
For Harley-Davidson, Buell, S & S, Big Dog Motorcycle Engines.
CLEANABLE AND REUSABLE.
Direct Spin-on Replacement with Emergency Relief Valve (ByPass). Cooler operating temperatures, improved fuel mileage, improved horsepower, extended oil drain intervals, greater oil flow, 100% Absolute filtration THROUGH deep pleated, two ply, Stainless Steel Filter Media. Improved debris removal (Testing at SwRI showed a 90% Improvement in Particle Removal over paper "throw away" filters). Easy to clean (hot soapy water). No modifications are required. Installation of the filter takes less than 5 minutes. Easy to install (No special tools needed). Easy Monitoring of the engine (simply unscrew the canister). Extended oil change intervals. Reduce maintenance and repair costs. No toxic disposal. No disposal charges. No contamination in landfill, lakes, rivers, oceans.

American Made 6061 T6 CNC Machined Forged Billet Aluminum Housing and Bypass; Stainless Steel Dual Woven Filter Media; the highest grade Mil-Spec Viton® O-rings on all sealing surfaces. Superior in design, quality, workmanship, and Aerospace spec CNC machining. The ONLY cleanable oil filter to be manufactured from AMERICAN Certified 6061 T6, Cold Finished, Billet material, the finest quality stainless steel filter media and extreme high temperature Aerospace ceramic investment material; Two Neodymium magnets located on each side of the filter media. Each magnet is rated to capture up to 16 Oz of ferrous metal and has a larger magnetic field area to lower surface tension for smoother oil flow. "J" cut threads and a starting thread to prevent cross threading.

Part # PP8110-BF Thread: 3/4 - 16 Height: 3.25” O.D.: 2.700”

Type: ABSOLUTE FILTRATION (Do NOT confuse this with Beta Ratio of “Full Flow Filters”.

ASTM and SAE Testing at Southwest Research Institute:
Flow: 22 gpm Burst Rate: 1,000 psi Debris Removal: -1 micron

The EVO oil system works on oil flow, not oil pressure. A lower micron filter is too restrictive for adequate flow.

It's rated at 22 microns. Which is roughly 8 ten thousandths of an inch.
