Hello members, what brand oil filters other than fram yall recommend?
-
-
I use K&N, Wix Gold or NAPA (which I believe are Wix Gold). For my bike, they also include the o-ring, which I like to replace each time I replace the filter. -
Anything but Fram.

The napa ones are great, held the o-ring up next to the fram, and could see a difference in thickness.Comment

+3 on anything but Fram (had some glue circulate from a Fram in my truck, destroyed the camshaft years ago), I buy Wix with the gasket. I've got lots of extra gaskets, I don't change them each and every time.Comment

Hi,
I usually buy filters 10 at a time from Z1Enterprises or BikeBandit or Parts'n'more. It's cheap that way. Usually they are the EMGO or Hi-Flo Filtro brands. At about $3 a pop I can afford to change them every 2000 miles. With the Hi-Flo you get both the 5 lobe and 3 lobe O-rings.
There is a pretty complete list of oil filters (w/part numbers) in my oil change guide at my website.
Thank you for your indulgence,
