    Anyone using K&P engineering oil filter???

    As the title say.
    They make reusable stainless steel oil filter for GS.
    I had run a similar filter on my DRZ supermoto and was pleased with that.
    I was wondering because the price was around 110$ and never seen one of theur product.
    Thank you,
    Marc

    It might be worth while, if it filters well AND you plan on riding your bike for and additional 90,000 km.

    [$110/$3.64(emgo filters @ Z1)] =30(about) x 3.22(oil change interval in Km's)= ....

      i was thinking that too.
      Emgo or hiflo filter are around 6-7$ ea and OEM is 8$ taxes included here.
      If i change the oil 2 time a year it would take 7 years to absorb the filter.
      On the plus side you dont have to think about getting a new filter
      and you can see the ''internal'' of the engine when you clean the filter.

        Marc, get OEM filters off of ebay...usually a lot of 4 or 5 at a time, to offset the shipping cost....they work out a lot cheaper than buying them locally.

          Hi,

          www.partsnmore.com sells oil filters for $3 each. The last time I bought some, I got a batch of 10 Hi-Flo (or was it EMGO?) from Z1Enterprises.com for not much more.


          Thank you for your indulgence,

            I don't use any other brand than genuine Suzuki when it comes to oil filters. Frams are garbage, just so you know! Ray.

              Agreed on all points.

              Preach it!


              The filters sold by Napa (made by Wix) are pretty nice if you don't have time to wait for the Suzuki boat to arrive.

                Awwwwwwll

                Boulevard Suzuki sells OEM filters for $3.52. I usually stick a few on an order when I'm buying other stuff....as long as it doesn't increase the shipping cost.

                  I already have 2 suzuki oil filters, i will probably place an order somewhere for a bunch (10) of oil filters.
