Dyna long oil filter question.

Do you hit the plug with the filter wrench? Can you avoid doing that? If you can avoid hitting the plug, then use what you have. You can also just pound a big screwdriver though the old filter and use that as a handle to get it loose, instead of whatever filter wrench you're using. I have just about given up on oil filter wrenches, but the band type that goes on the end of a socket works for Evo sized ones.
As for the filter itself, if every other Evo except the dyna uses the shorter filter, then I really don't see a problem with a dyna using the shorter filter. In fact, I'm surprised you can even find the longer ones chrome plated and for the dyna specifically.
If you want a better (in my opinion) filter, go to a Toyota dealer and get one for a 22R motor, like a 1986 4 cyl 2.4L Truck. If you want the longer filter, same size as what you are using now, then get the one for a LS400, (1UZFE) like for a 1999 LS400. They are already black and only about 5 bucks. Otherwise, there's only one other type of HD filter, and they fit all the Evos so it isn't a "softail only" filter.

Yup. (This is the Evo forum, after all. I don't know nothin' about twinkies.) Look it up yourself. Go to Wix' web site, look up a filter for an Evo, look at the specs. Look up a filter for a 1986 Toyota Truck 4 cyl 2.4L (22R or 22RE motor, "E" just means fuel injected). Look at the specs. Same filter, different color paint.
I've been running them for the past 80K miles. Well, I bet a whopping 8K of that was on a HD filter, at the most. Plus 50K on the Sporty.
The 1UZFE filter (Toyota V8) is longer than the stock Evo, but those pictured above look even longer than that.
