Default oil filter

Is there a good quality oil filter that I can buy at the auto parts store that will work on my 85 FLTC?

I have been using the chrome Fram PH6065B from Walmart, like ten bucks. I also use the Valvoline 20-50 motorcycle blend, also at Wally World. Been using this mix for years over several bikes. I am as **** about oil changes as anyone I have ever met. Clearly the brand isn't a hang up but, I don't go real far between changes.

I heard twinky's and evo have the same filter but one has larger filtering holes.

While both filters fit onto either...it is Decidedly Not Correct to interchange them..The 348 has a smaller micron rating, and an anti-drain back valve...both undesireable for yer Shovel or Evo. OK for Twinky because they filter the Feed [Pressure] side of the pump...
I continue to use the 51215/1215!

Anti drain back valve on an evo will make no difference at all.

I run Genuine Toyota oil filters on my bikes. It's the same filter as used on a 1986 RN 4 cylinder Truck.
