Black is 57148 with a glass media, chrome is 57348 with glass media. Mav posted the filter #'s in post #11.

 

I maybe wrong be i think NAPA filters are mad by WIX

 

I am thinking you are right. Napa guys told me that one time when I needed one for the truck. I went with it for the truck haven't done it on the bike yet. So who is making the moco filter. Somebody has to know?

 

Quoted again from another site:

"Here's the emails from Champion Labs:

Fred,

We do manufacture the Harley Davidson filters for Harley at their specifications. I have no access to pull up spec sheets on their filters as this is proprietary information and belongs to Harley. The only thing I can tell you for sure is that our filter meets the specifications of the OE filter. Sometimes, there is a difference in say the number of pleats, or a small difference in design. All of the filters we manufacture can vary by difference in minor design changes.

Thanks Bob for the info.

Would I be correct in saying the PH7022 is the same filter just repackaged and sold as a Harley-Davidson SuperPremium oil filter?
Do you not have the beta ratio for that filter?

Your responses are much appreciated.

Fred,

These filters are the same specifications other than the PH7022 is a chrome version for Harley Applications. It is a 20 micron @ 85% efficient, it has a 300 psi burst pressure, and a 8-11psi bypass valve setting. We do not rate the filters for maximum flow rates. It does meet the minimum flow requirements of the OE filter.

the reason i started this is that my store has a special for 5 qts Mobil 1 with a Mobil 1 filter for 32 bucks, thought that was worth exploring esp since i get a discount on top of that.

This answers alot of the question asked to this point in the thread. Enjoy

Okay guys, now that we have all the info, which filter meets the OE spec and is the cheapest? I dont know the pricing on these other filters.

 

The answer is WIX. But don't try to buy them local. You have to get them online from various fleet sales. I posted the info on page 2.

Everyone raves about 5 microns and WIX provides this and specs seems to match spec by spec.
Yes NAPA filters are made by WIX.

 

Sorry I jacked ur thread. Yes you can use the filter. It will work but doesn't have the same specs (5mircon) as the HD or WIX filter. I personally don't care about 5 microns.

The question I have is do you want a filter on your bike that isn't black or chrome? I like and prefer the black filter. I think... the Mobil1 is blue, white or yellow depending on the series. I can't remember exactly which.

 

I don't think it is cheaper than the black HD filters, even at on-line stores.
