Oil Filter #
I did a quick search and came up with nothing (unless I missed it somewhere else?). Does any have a # for a WIX Oil Filter for the 2005 FLHTCI?

RE: Oil Filter #
Just be aware that the Wix filter has a 19 micron rating which is almost 4 times more porous than the HD filter at 5 microns, so it is not capturing as many particles floating in the oil. A guy spends 9 plus dollars per qt for synthethic oil and then scrimps on the oil filter?[sm=confused06.gif]It doesn't add up in my book. Just my .03 cents (adjusted for inflation)

RE: Oil Filter #
soos, I did not know this (wonder if anyone else does?). Besides the HD oil filter, do You or anyone else know of ANY other oil filter that would be compatable to the HD? Your asking WHY I would want to put in another filter otherthanHD?I "assumed" there were better ones out there. I've always had a FRAM on the Sportster even though I just found out that people call it "the orange can of death". Sportster still runs great though. Maybe the newer FRAM filter's are junk??? I don't know, havn't seen anything on them.I heard/read that WIX was up there........I guess when it comes to cars though,(from what I was told) and I thought it would be good for the bike too. Dealership did the first oil change on the bike and I'm going to do the second myself and from now on. I will be putting in synthetic 20w-50 (also in the primary) and 75w/140 in the tranny. Bike has just over 5k right now. So, HDForum....what other oil filter's are up thereon the listbesides HD? More help would really be appriciated.
Thank You,
