    OIL Filters Reference Chart

    Reply Contact
    Hey guys, I needed to buy a new oil filter with my upcoming engine work this week. I new this was on here but took forever searching it out. I cut and copied the list. I found this really helpful when looking for filters to fit with my cooler setup. I thought some of the newer guys who have not been here for years might find it useful.

    Just be careful with the length!
    Motorcycle-Specific Filters - (About 2.5 to 3 inches long)
    Automobile Filters - (About 2.5 inches long - fit reference Mazda RX-7 and Miata)


    Purolator Motorcycle ML16817 about $6.00
    NAPA Gold 1358, Carquest 85358, WIX 51358 about $7 to $8
    AC Delco PF2135 about $10
    FRAM PH6017A about $7
    Automobile Filters - (About 3.5 inches long - fit reference 1994 Mazda MX-3, V-6 Engine)
    Mobil 1 M1-110 about $10
    Bosch 3323 about $5
    Purolator Pure One L14620 about $6
    NAPA Gold 1356, Carquest 85356, WIX 51356 about $6
    Deutsch D-370 about $4
    AC Delco PF-2057 about $6
    Motorcraft Long Life FL-821 about $4
    STP S-02867 about $3
    FRAM, Castrol, Penske 7317 about $3
    Bosch 3300 about $5
    NAPA Gold 1365 about $6
    Purolator L14622 about $5
    AC Delco PF1237 about $6
    STP S-02876 about $3
    FRAM PH6607 about $3
    WalMart SuperTech ST6607 about $2


    Hope this helps somebody else...

    Hey ChopTop the AMSOIL filter number for your bike is SMF103. Last time I bought one it was about $8.00. When I ran AMSOIL I wouldn't run any other filter other than theirs. I'm sure others are just as good, but why not have a matching set??

    Hope this helps a little.

    I just picked up the K&N KN-303. It's nice because it has a 17mm nut on the end of it.

    Hey guys, just want to caution you on a couple of things regarding not using the Yamaha oil filter. Yamaha has designed their filters for their lube systems so it is constructed with a specific micron filtration sizing and a specific setting on the bypass valve. Any other filter that you use should have these same specs. Changing filters with higher filtration properties may not be good for your engine. Same with a bypass valve that opens at too high or too low a pressure. I have heard of Harley engines self destructing due to the use of aftermarket filters designed for automotive use. Hope this info helps.

    I don't think there are any secrets lurking in the Yamaha oil filter. Most of the aftermarket ones are fine.

    I always use the K&N 303C and am satisfied with it. I'm sure others are fine as well except Fram[xx(].

    The Harleys didnt self destruct because of the car filters, they self destructed because of poor design[:D]

    The parts store was out of K&N's. I read all the boxes, they all claim the same particulate and micron specs as each other, including the K&N's. The only difference I can see is either the Chrome option or the nut on the end. I bought the Bosch 3323's at $5.99 each, one for now and one for after break-in...
