Re: Oil Filter Poll

I have always used Fram in everything I own and have never had any problem. Granted I change my oil often but they have always worked out good for me. JMO.

Re: Oil Filter Poll

Last year I decided to go the the HD dealer and buy an oil filter. The counter guy points to a self serve shelf. I pick up a black HD filter that looks like it would fit and I ask the counter guy if it would fit my 95 FLHTC. YES IT DOES.. he responded.

I take it home and it dont fit. The mounting hole in the filter was to big for the oil filter adapter on the oil filter mount.

Now to make things worse I have know if this filter is a 5 , 10 or 30 MICRON
filter.


The old filter had a "AA" stamp .

From what I have read so far, I need a 30 micron oil filter for an 80 cc EVO.
Assuming that counter guy is as clueless as I am how do I know which HD oil filter is correct for my application. What am I looking for ??

There is nothing in my HD manual ....checked it twice.

Re: Oil Filter Poll

I used a K & N filter on my 2004 Sportster after it was out of warranty. I really liked the 17mm nut on the end. I did notice that the chrome finish on the K & N was not as nice as the HD filters. I will be sticking with the HD filter on the new Fatty.

Re: Oil Filter Poll

Heck, after reading the link that Glider posted, I'm going to try and find myself a Purolator(cross ref). It has the anti-drain back and the pressure relief valve in it!! I'll paint the thing the same color as my bike. All for less than 1/3rd the cost of a HD stealer!!--- Put me in some Mobil 1 syn V-Twin motor oil, some spectro gear oil in the tranny and some uh------lets see I don't know what to put in the Primary yet--maybe have to go with the HD formula +(any suggestions out there?----Good thread and posts. Lots of insite!!

Re: Oil Filter Poll

Will do Glider!----Hey, if I can find the cross reference Purolator filter, I'll buy an extra and cut it in half, will do the same with the old HD-63798-99 filter and compare their innards. Will post my results if I think it to be useful.
