I hope you meant 5 micron filters, they are needed with the piston oil jets so they don get clogged up.

Re: Oil Filter Poll

Not sure why its "so hard" to get Amsoil products, anyone who has access to the internet can get their products. I have never been bothered by the Amsoil salesmen either!

Just about anything is available on the internet, but if you need a quart, it's difficult to get it this way so you can finish the oil change you started as opposed to running to the parts store near you for a quart.

The problem with the amsoil jobbers is that they try to convert everyone to their brand, mostly for profit.

Re: Oil Filter Poll

I will stick with the Harley Davidson filter recommended in my owners manual. I can see playing around with lubricants but a critical (well, maybe not that critical but could affect the engine over time) piece of equipment like this is nothing to mess with (in my opinion).
