does a revtec 100 in use same oil filter as harley engines?
i have my buddy's 06 softail custom in my garage and have ridden it quite a bit and want to change the fluids. obviously i don't have any manuals for it. has an open primary so no fluid needed there. and has i believe a 6 speed baker trans so i just need to change the trans and oil with filter.
any input? |
As you can tell by the numerous oil threads and the even more numerous posts those threads collect, the subject of oil is extremely personal with a lot of people.
I think I'd be checking with my friend and see what fluids and filter he wants used in his bike. This would be a lot better than having him later screaming "YOU PUT THAT SHIT IN MY ENGINE?" |
While you input is aprecisted you did not read the question nor did you answer what i am lioking for.
Deos the revtech 100 use the same oil filter as a YC harley? Phisically the same part number. Then i went on to sort of ask about capacities. NEVER did i ask the which oil question. Also you have terrible friends if they scream at you for being thoughtful and helpful. |
I use an evo oil filter on my 2002 rev tech 100", gen 2 high compression. Different filter micron rating than TC engine. TC filters too restrictive for EVO design. Stick with dino oil, had leaks when I tried synthetic. Custom chrome is the distributor for rev tech, check their catalog.

Looks like you didn't read your own post.
You didn't say anything about capacities. I have no idea about the filter question so I made no response to that question. You did ask for "any input?" I did respond to this question. My friends don't scream at me, but then I don't ride their bikes or perform maintenance/services on them. Lighten up and recognize my comment for what it is. Humor, sarcasm, exaggeration,... What is a "YC"? You might look up the filters listed for the two engines and compare what you find. |
I have a few friends that I would let ride my bike.I have less friends that I would let WORK on my bike. Give your buddy the cash and let him change his own oil. You're welcome for my input.

I have a very small circle of friends that I would let take one of my bikes..... As much as I trust them with riding the bike, I would be a little po'd if they did any work on the bike without my permission... Whether they did the work or took it to a shop.... Just food for thought..... |
If the on the bike oil filter can not be identified then you might wish to consider contacting Revtech or their dealer.
A twin cam filter would be restrictive in an EVO motor and could present harm to the motor. While a twin cam filter will fit an evo unit it should not be used in an EVO motor. Transmission and motor oil capacity should not present a challenge if they have a dip stick. If it has a Baker transmission then contact Baker. I would second the suggestion of contacting the owner of the bike. Some owners are rather selective of their oil and filter choice. |

That's pretty good advice, unless you've he said OK....

Just food for thought..... if i were to have purchased this bike on my own i would be looking for the same info. this can't be that difficult to find out. i am going to have to use the dipsticks to figure out capacities, i realize that now. so all i really need is to know what oil filter to use. this can't be that difficult to figure out. and i have asked him about the bike he has no clue as he got it used. |
