Oil Filter List

[warp9.9]

That's what I though maybe someone swiped it...

Or they forgot to put it on when the added the first oil on assembly. Has it had the 500 mile oil change yet?

Oh and let me know when you get to 1500 on that rolling chassis.

I only rode it the day I bought it... Snow ice rain and sub zero temps and bum shoulder is keeping me from getting to 500...

I'll let it sit at $2000 on the rolling chassis for a bit...

****, warp, I never thought of that, right out front, I've had mine off all year.

The Mobil MC Filter webpage states its filters are available in chrome but after searching for the one that fits my Rocket (M1MC-134) I cannot find it anywhere in chrome, only black. Looks like the stock cover will be necessary for the chrome look.

I just put the Mobil 1 filter on my R3T and the OEM chrome cover fits it perfectly without any of the filter showing. It's $20 bucks but I try not to be penny-wise and pound-foolish.

Ok now when i had Vmax's i used to buy car filters from big auto outlets , they fit perfect but were larger to up oil capacity some. Now i realize from this particular thread that most modern motorcycle brands use the same thread filter etc , so i thought it might be handy if i posted that info from the Vmax site what fits on on a Yammie ( should also fit our R3's right ? )
Whats handy here is they give the make/model of corresponding cars that use the particular filter to fit, so if that car is/was sold in your country a similar filter should be available

Introduction

The oil and spin-on oil filter are the two items which control and minimize engine wear. Microscopic particles in the oil, if not removed, can act as an abrasive to wear down metal surfaces. In modern motorcycle engines, like the Vmax and most others, oil passes directly from the filter to the engine for lubrication, so a good, properly-functioning filter is essential.

OEM Motorcycle Oil Filters

You can't go wrong using the OEM filter for your motorcycle. However, sometimes these may be hard to find, especially on a Sunday or Monday, or in smaller communities, or you may think the OEM part is unnecessarily expensive. Or, you may want a better filter to further minimize engine wear. You deserve choices.

Alternate Motorcycle Oil Filters

Following filters should fit all late model Vmaxes (96 - present). These also fit most late-model Kawasaki sportbikes and Vulcans, most late model VFRs, CBRs, ST1100s, etc that use the Honda 15410-MM9-013 oil filter, plus most late-model Yamaha sportbikes, and the Royal Star. They also can be used on the mid-80s Magnas, Sabres, Interceptors, and Shadows. See Author's note #6, below for a comment about Suzuki oil filters.

Important: The only meaningful difference between all those shown below are external length. The very shortest filters should fit anywhere. All threads and gasket dimensions are compatible, all have anti-drain back valves, and all have bypass valves that operate in the normal range of 8 to 13 psi range.

It was here (posted) at one time, but I can't find it either. Pig needs to put the list under resources and sticky it.

I couldn't find it either. Thanks, I'm a Purolator and Rotella T Synthetic guy.

This list is out of date. Many filters have been redesigned so you must check the end cap or you will get leaks.

You want concave and not convex.

You want an inny and not an outy.

I would stay away from the Purolator PureOnes, at least for now. There have been reports of the elements separating the from the canisters...for now I'm using Wix filters and I like them...good quality, decent price...
