What Brand Oil Filter Do You Use

RE: What Brand Oil Filter Do You Use

Two things:
1. A fool and his money are soon parted!
2. I've got a blue AC Delco filter. I don't give a rat's patootie that it is blue, has a label with writing, and is on the front of my bike! I use it 'cause it's a good one and I can usually get 'em for less than $3.00. I also run black Wix and Napa (made by Wix) filters, too.

They come in chrome.
There is a AC Delco filter that almost the same as harley (same pressure valve and filter microns, etc.) but who wants a blue filter with writing on the front of their bike?

Interesting that H-D are the overwhelming choice. Why? Can't be cost. What else, availability?

I was wondering if you were going chime in.

What a great forum, very informative.
I'd like to buy a different brand of oil filter, other than Harley. I have an S&S 113" that takes a short Evo Softail filter (Same as sportster). Is there a reference on this thread or is someone familiar with this filter? Wix/Fram/other brand doesn't matter. Thanks in advance

Howdy,
Back in my youth,( a long time ago), when I was a budding Hot Rodder and building a nice 57 Chevy, I was told by all supposedly in the know, both personal contacts and magazine articles, Not to use a chrome oil filter except for a show as the chrome retains much more heat. A painted filter will dissipate heat from the oil much better.
Any thoughts?
PS, 57 Chevy 2 Door 150 Business Coupe
327 Chevy motor,
AFB carb
Muncie 4 speed trany
456 Posi rear end
Car is long gone, the memories are not.
