BUT supposedly Chrome filters versus black do make it radiate more heat! (Believe it or not.)

Black radiates more heat than chrome. That's why GM and others started painting their engines black years ago.

I've always used H-D filters, chrome or black. I will however be changing to K&N filters next oil change because the welded on nut makes them (WAY) easy to remove!

I got a bunch of the black HD filters off ebay, more than I can use, and will let them go for $6.00 each plus shipping for as many as you want until they are gone. It is part number 63731-99a. Just email me if interested.

Im wondering what kind of filter guys are running? Is it amsoil ect that you are using? Or it just a factory HD oil filter you are using? I know it isnt mandatory to use a special fitler Im just wondering if you do and does amsoil or other synthetic oil producers sell chrome ones?
