Is anybody using this oil filter?

Read about this on the "where to" forum. Its spendy, but might be worth it?

Is anybody using it?

Or no longer using it and why? :?:

hi,

yup....had it four 4000 miles... works great znd looks better

jck

i've never tried a washable oil filter. my concern would be that i would'nt get all the crud out of it, not to mention the extra time needed to service the thing. personally, i like to be able to unscrew the old, install the fresh clean filter, and be done with it in almost no time. i hear that the K&N filers are also excellent. i have wondered if the nut on the end of the K&N allows the chrome cover to install correctly though.

grnvett, you say 'had' for 4000 miles. No more? No bike? Whats the story? Back to paper? Inquiring minds want to know.

hi,

The tense is correct, maybe I should had said 'I have had it....', just know that the filter works very well and takes about a minute with solvent and air hose to clean. It looks better than the stock chrome cover, does the job extremely well and I don't have to worry about having an oil filter if I decide to change oil on a weekend. I am lucky and get the oil and other bits (as the Brits would say) really cheap so I do that a fair amount (about every 1500 miles, yes, I do know that is extreme overkill, but so's a ROCKET).

The filter also has a magnet in it for picking up the smaller chunks.

The K&N will NOT allow use of the chrome cover, but it's the size not the nut.

I still have the big red lady and she's pissed. I put her away for the Chicago winter on Saturday. She looks so forlorn on a stand and under a cover. Winter is time to get out of Chicago or just hunker down in the shop and play with things mechanical.

I have it on mine.

Love the looks of it.

No problems with it so far. Don't really expect any problems. This is a high quality product. IMO.

Have one on My Rocket and wifes SpeedMaster same filter. I clean them with PD680 dry cleaning solvent and a ultasonic tub . After a few minutes in the tub I take the screen out and run the solvent through a paint filter funnel to check for metal , run a magnet through the solvent as it drains. just over 10000 on one and 1200 on the other.
