Oil filter

Hi everyone been using different oil filters each time I change my oil. I've used wix k&n fram act. Does anybody know which one seems to work the best for their bike. Right now I like fram because it comes with new gaskets.

 

The best oil filter is a new one. End of story.
All the major brands will filter the oil to the necessary degree and then some.

 

just make sure you still have the washer and spring for filter positioning

 

hmm did not know their was a washer and spring. just seems to sit on the bolt that goes through the housing

 

You need both the washer and spring. Check xj4ever at top right of screen. Len probably has the parts.

 

OH it'll sit there all right, but without those parts it won't filter any oil.

 

Ill check with Len didnt even know those existed. When i do get the parts where exactly do they go?

 

As pictured here
First oil filter/ oil change.

If it's in your budget, you may want to look into the spin-on filter adapter that Len carries.

 

I'm guessing without spring the filter isnt doing much...oil probably blowing past it.

 

Thanks guys glad I found this out before the season starts

 

Using the stock oil filter does the spring go on the concave or convex side of the filter? I looked in the manual and it does'nt say nor the picture shows .

 

My god k-moe i thank you soo very much the PO had mine all ass backwards. That illustration is wonderful i could see exactly where everything goes

 

I'm old enough if when removing an oil filter, I don't note the order of washer, spring and which side of the oil filter goes on first, I have to look at the illustration when I install the new oil filter. What does that say about my memory???

 

What does what say?

 

not what , that. and who is this that that talks about cgutz?

 

What is cgutz?

 

you all look familiar but I can't place the name . . . .

 

When am I?

 

Where am I, who am I...
