oil filter
Hi guys...Just doing my first oil change on my 05 road king custom...
Just picked up my new chrome filter from the steelers, and I noticed it was marked 5 micron...I thought I read some where for this model bike I needed a 10 micron...I doubled checked this with the counter guy, and he checked his shelf and all he had was 5 micron...will this be OK. to use...brummie
I will be using Mobil 1 20-50 synthetic oil thanks brummie

Finer filtration so no risk of damage, if anything improved life.
As will all things in life, there is no such thing as a free lunch, so the price you pay is reduced life as it will clog quicker as it extracts more.
Thing is, you invariably change the filter before it is clogged, and you have no way of telling it is clogged anyway so basically you shouldn't notice this
