Oil Filter ???
Need some sage advise from the learned and wise that inhabit this site.
I’m getting ready to service my 05 FLHRCI and the wife’s 09 FXDL. The Dyna calls for oil filter #63798-99A which is 5 micron (chrome). No problem there. In the service manual for the RK it calls for oil filter part # 63798-99 which it says is a 10 micron filter. Parts guy at HD says no, they both run the same fitler. I know the “A” behind a part # means they have made some small design change to the original part so is it safe to assume all the twin cams now run 5 micro filters. Just want to be sure. Thanks in advance

Re: Oil Filter ???
The 5 micron filters insure that parts like the oil jets that cool the under side of the pistons don't clog. I think this is the most important part of the 5 micron rating for the TC engines.
Just can't use them on an EVO.
