Hi guys...Just doing my first oil change on my 05 road king custom...
Just picked up my new chrome filter from the steelers, and I noticed it was marked 5 micron...I thought I read some where for this model bike I needed a 10 micron...I doubled checked this with the counter guy, and he checked his shelf and all he had was 5 micron...will this be OK. to use...brummie
I will be using Mobil 1 20-50 synthetic oil thanks brummie

 

The bike will never know the difference. Neither will you......

 

It's the "Super Premium", correct? I've used those on both my '04 and my '07 with no issues. Of course I could be wrong all these years but so far haven't ruined anything

 

its your lucky day, you get better filtration with a 5 micron

 

Holy Crap...you have an 05 and your finally doing an oil change? ;-) Heh heh heh

Really, that filter will be fine!

 

Finer filtration so no risk of damage, if anything improved life.

As will all things in life, there is no such thing as a free lunch, so the price you pay is reduced life as it will clog quicker as it extracts more.

Thing is, you invariably change the filter before it is clogged, and you have no way of telling it is clogged anyway so basically you shouldn't notice this

 

Thanks for the reply guys.....Not worried now..riding season here I come...Brummie

 

are you using mobile 1 or the v twin , the 20 50 v twin is better and what you should have imo

 

I use the K&N oil filter and Amsoil 20w50 MOTORCYCLE OIL !!

 

Funny **** there....
