Anyone got a part number for an oil filter for the XX?

I don't plan to go to the dealer, just to Walmart or something.

Looking for a good brand and a part #

If nobody gets to it before then, I'll check the stack in the garage for a number first thing in the morning.

You need one, Nik?

WIX is actually supposed to be one of the best filters going... Very similar in first pass effeciency to the Pure 1, but I know the filter for my Nighthawk didn't have as much media surface area as some other filters, so I guess I'd change it more often...

Or for THE BEST, Purolator Pure 1, part #PL14612 at Advance Auto,

Costs less than a Honda filter.

Ditto Pete. The Pure One I think has been rated as the best out there in several publications. I think either Carlos or Dale first sent the word out around here.

Then again if you are using WD40 or cooking oil, you probably don't beed no stinking filter.

I've been told that Hastings makes most of the NAPA line of filters. Supposed to be pretty good. Also been told to avoid Fram...no personal experience there to confirm or deny. Fram is said to apply the "domination of market by flooding and cutthroat pricing" theory...filters are questionable and poor quality control. :roll:

Now... what kind of oil should i use? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

:lol:

I used a STP [smo-17] on my last oil change.

Mobil 1 15-50 gold cap for the oil. :wink:

I thought 15-50 came with a red cap???

No more red cap :(

But the gold cap has been great so far :D

You ought to hang around on the board a little more. You'd learn these things! you might even get that post count up a little! :lol:

GatDammit! Well, I can tell you that the PL 14459, which I thought was the RX7/XX application is about a quarter-inch too long to clear the Akra header!

:oops:

Thanks for posting the numbers for Pure 1. I have a lot more faith in Puralator than in Fram. 8)

Walmart for an oil filter? No thanks.

I'll stick with my dealer.

I just picked up a 4-liter jug of motul5100 and an OEM filter for $24.15. That puts the filter at $6.89 and I know it's specifically designed for my motorcycle.

You know my previous oil change I went with the Wal-mart filter and had no problems but after looking at it compared to the STP filter

I noticed the Wal-Mart filter had about half as many holes in the bottom of the filter. :?

I kinda wonder if this would restrict flow in any direction?

I think I'm gonna jsut go with a motorcyle filter from now on the cost just isn't that much more than the Wal-Mart filter's. :D

Just changed oil and filter a few days ago, the (Pure One PL14612) will fit the XX fine, the PL14610 is a tad to long to fit.

I have been running the PL14612 without problem and it seems to be as good if not better than the Mobil One at a few bucks less too.

It will fit fine? Just because an oil filter "fits" an engine doesn't mean it was designed for it.

Tell me how one aftermarket filter is better than another.
