On my R3T I use only genuine Triumph or K&N oil Filters, and a great Aussie oil Penrite Racing 15 Full Synthetic PAO Ester 15w -50 Full Zinc, change every 8000Ks ,BTW 8 oil changes and I haven't had to change the O rings yet, 45000Ks fingers crossed only a water pump replaced so far

Should be a chrome cover to protect a standard spin on filter like below
