Oil filter reccomendations

[zman]

Been trying to search the forum here and it`s such a vague term I come up with too much of nothing.
I bought the 3 for $12 of the HiFlo purplish paper filters off ebay when I first got my bike running, just bought them because I knew I would be doing a 500 mile and 1000 mile oil change at first, now I am coming up for a 3k Change, I seem to recall Fram not recommended, maybe I remember wrong and maybe the HiFlo filter is good.
I just don't want the paper or glue failing and of course good filtering, see Emgo but with their fuel filters failing I don't feel comfortable with anything Emgo.
Thanks.

Napa PS4940 or just 4940 is what I use. I think I get two at a time for less than $12. If the local guy doesn't have one, it is usually in the store the next day.

Fram oil filters have gotten a bad rap but I've been using them for 30+ years no problem.

Thanks Brian,Dan..I thought it was strange about Fram, I have been using them on my car for years, thought maybe they outsourced their M/C filters or something.

I've been using the HiFlo filters on mine since I've had it with no problems. I gets them from a local bike parts place. My local NAPA place never has them in stock, but they can get them same day if needed. :good:

I use hiflo oil filters on the 750f and super-K and the 1500 wing. I use to use hiflo oil filters on the 1200 until I did the spin on oil filter adapter

Hmm, maybe I`ll just get 3 more HiFlo`s, they look good every change the oil so far just wasn't sure.
Thanks.

I use fram for the first running or cleaning out stage 100 to 500 miles, then i go back with a wix 24940 for the extended life, comes with the o rings too.

+2 on the WIX. Been using them on my other rigs for a long time. Just picked up a 24940 for the Oldwing at O'Reilly Auto Parts for a little over $6. :music:

I wonder if any of they can look up a part number without asking me what kind of vehicle first, I know what they will say when I tell them its a motorcycle.

 

[julimike54]

O'Reilly I just told them the wix p/n, she walked over to the shelf & picked it right out, no questions

I just bought a filter plus oil deal from Pep Boys. It is a Purolater filter and my 1100 was listed in the filter book! :yahoo:

Have used Fram oil filters on bikes, + cars & never had any issues. Switched to Wix, years ago always heard good things about their high quality, being better, & not much more cash, from a lot of people. Really love the Randaks oil filter adapter to switch to spin on filters, which is one of the most commonly used. Now only 2 types of spin on filters for ALL my vehicles, the same filters for my Honda cars, fit my 91 Wing, been using them for 20+ years. Should be filters a plenty all my life.
