Have not used one but did look at a site a while back that took various filters apart and analized them. He thought it well made but had a very small filtration area compared to the best filters. I found the site with google.
Hey Markcuda, you say you use the filter but do you like it and why do you use it?
Personally I would like to see somebody invent a filter that upon removal it has a valve that shuts off the oil.
I really like to do all my own work and the simple oil change is always a nuckle buster and a bag a cat litter
deal. Does the Amsoil filter cost alot more? And does it come in crome??....Augie....
Guys, I am sorry but I can't give you much on the filter.
I just started using the Amsoil filter a 1000 miles ago.
I have been using SYN3 oil since my bike had 1,800 miles on it.
I went over to Amsoil oil and filter in all 3 holes. I can get the oil for just about half the
price of SYN3, witch is $8.49 a quart[sm=forgetit.gif] The Harley oil and filter must
of been doing some good for all these miles
Marcuda: Thanks for the information,I think you are right on about the oil,(Big price difference),I am a bit shy about the filter but I'm going to give it a try.
I have used Amsoil in my race cars, and during the winter Freshening- engine builder told me he never saw engines come back that clean after a season. Guess there is something to that part. What benefit do you expect from the Amsoil filter. I know on other filters, they do not have as much filtration area, but do use a different media... I believe you just change it more often- regardless of brand. AMEN to the idea of a no-leak shutoff on removal!
