kjclark7 Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 i just did an oil change on my xx and changed to mobil 1 15w50 and also to the supertech st6670 oil filter. my only question was when i switched filters and looked at the honda filter i had on there, the supertech one was not as long as the honda one. i thought that you guys said it was longer and in turn better? did i get the wrong one??? i havent ridden it yet, just up and down the street. the shifts seem smoother with the mobil 1. anyway let me know if its alright. thanks. kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncblkbrd1100xx Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 The 6607 is a little shorter than the Honda filter. Not to worry though, it doesn't matter. If you want one the same length go with a Purolator PL14610 from Advanced Auto at $5.98/ea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Krypt Keeper Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 How many miles you got on your bird? I am at 9k miles and just also replaced my sparkplugs. Wasn't much of the irridium there to spark. I noticed here for the past 1500 miles she would crank over for a second or two before firing to life. Changed plugs and soon as my finger hit the buttom she roared to life :wink: Expensive little bastards at $8 a plug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrated Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 I don't know about the 6670, but the 6607 that I use works fine for me Musta been temporary dislexia, huh Joe! Reminds me of an old joke about the mother's organization (kind of like MADD) only it is called "DAM"..........

CBR-RR-XX-CESS Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Thats cheap! I just paid over 11.00 each for a 954RR and that was from sparkplug.com which has the best price I know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinton Horn Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 There is another SuperTech filter that is 3/4 " longer han the 6607. It is number 7317. I cannot decide what kind of voodoo these manufacturers use. My old Maxima (190 h.p.) used the 7317 filter. It is small but the 6607 is tiny. My newer Maxima (255 h.p.) uses the small 6607. These filters are made for Walmart by Champion. They are both "98%" effective, have synthetic paper and both fit my Bird fine. I believe they are safe. All filters go into bypass during extremes. In that mode they won't strain out gravel. There are many here that must have a Honda filter to sleep comfortably. Those are the type of people you want to look for when you buy used.

Clinton Horn Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I was so curious, I got a flashlight and went and looked. You are right to voice concern. It evidently did not touch (no scarring on the header) but it would have to be close to the stock header. I could see it raising the filter casing temperature considerably. I buy a sack full of both filter numbers and use them as I have need. I think from now on I will stay with the smaller for the bird. The Max has oodles of clearance. So forget the extra length for the bird (but it will fit and clear) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
