Shot Posted August 18, 2012 #1 Posted August 18, 2012 As most of us know, Walmart does not carry Super Tech oil filters anymore.........What is everyone using now? It looks like Purolator won out on the bid.
Bobby G Posted August 18, 2012 #2 Posted August 18, 2012 Usually a Yamaha OEM replacement filter, or Mobile-1. Used Fram for a long time with no issues at all, but decided to upgrade now that I'm teetering on the 100,000 mile mark.
k9cottage Posted August 18, 2012 #4 Posted August 18, 2012 i got one of these for my next filter change http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_nkw=FLO+STAINLESS+OIL+FILTER+yamaha+royal+star+&_cqr=true&_nkwusc=FLO+STAINLESS+OIL+FILTER+yamaha+roual+star&_rdc=1 i get car filters for $5 each but for some reason yamaha thinks $25 is a fair price for one .so it is reusable for me.
Freebird Posted August 18, 2012 #5 Posted August 18, 2012 I used the Super Tech and was able to find one the last time I changed my oil. I will likely use Purolator though if I don't find it next time. I've also used Napa Gold and like them fine but don't have to drive as far to get the Purolator.
54chevybelair Posted August 18, 2012 #6 Posted August 18, 2012 Mobil1 now makes motorcycle specific oil filters for the 2nd gen (M1MC-134). I use mobil1 oil and filters In my cars with good results. I have been waiting for these filters to hit the stores, but they are $20. I have been using K&N.
Freebird Posted August 18, 2012 #7 Posted August 18, 2012 I love Mobil 1 oil and use it in everything that I own. It costs a bit more but I think the benefits outweigh the cost. I don't feel the same about the filter though. I know that a quality filter is very important but I think that there are a lot of quality filters out there for MUCH less than $20.00.
bongobobny Posted August 18, 2012 #9 Posted August 18, 2012 I have been using Bosch lately. There is a long list of many many different filters that will fit somewhere on this site. Anything but Fram...

midnightrider1300 Posted August 19, 2012 #11 Posted August 19, 2012 i got one of these for my next filter change http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_nkw=FLO+STAINLESS+OIL+FILTER+yamaha+royal+star+&_cqr=true&_nkwusc=FLO+STAINLESS+OIL+FILTER+yamaha+roual+star&_rdc=1 i get car filters for $5 each but for some reason yamaha thinks $25 is a fair price for one .so it is reusable for me. I work at a Yamaha dealer & $25.00 would buy 2 where I work....just saying
k9cottage Posted August 19, 2012 #12 Posted August 19, 2012 if i could get them at 2 for $25 i would use them and we don't get all the other brands in Tasmania [buggar]. my house may not be at the end of the world but i can see it from the hill in my back yard
Primebeef Posted August 20, 2012 #13 Posted August 20, 2012 Here is a link to a nice article about oil filters. They cut open just about every filter out there, so you can see the difference. I prefer the HiFlo. http://www.tobycreek.org/oil_filters/index.shtml

If I remember right, Wix makes the Carquest filter. Cant remember for sure where I read it though. I like Wix filters, If I dont use factory filters on my farm equipment, I use either Wix or Baldwin. Both are really good filters. If I trust a 100,000 tractor to a Wix, I'll trust my RSTD to it as well.
Mariner Fan Posted August 20, 2012 #15 Posted August 20, 2012 I'm pretty sure I have a Purolator on the bike.
wflthree Posted August 20, 2012 #16 Posted August 20, 2012 My family owns a Yamaha outboard dealership. I can get 3FV filters and full list on them is $10.89. One of the reasons I picked a Yamaha bike over another Honda is that I can get my parts for cost. I recently bought my clutch kit from Skydoc and bought all my clutch discs and plates straight from Yamaha. I replaced my clutch for $160 and my bike rides great now
54chevybelair Posted August 20, 2012 #17 Posted August 20, 2012 I love Mobil 1 oil and use it in everything that I own. It costs a bit more but I think the benefits outweigh the cost. I don't feel the same about the filter though. I know that a quality filter is very important but I think that there are a lot of quality filters out there for MUCH less than $20.00. I agree Freebird. I just wanted to let the group know there is a new option. I will stick with K&N. Advanced Auto often has sales on Mobil1 for cars. They offer 5 quarts plus the filter for around $40. When they do that I stock up. I doubt you will see a special like that on MC oil and filters.
CaptainJoe Posted August 20, 2012 #18 Posted August 20, 2012 I've used FRAM and Super Tech filters all my life and have never had a problem with either. As for oil.... I stick with Yamalube... Since there's a clutch in there with the engine oil, made a decision long ago not to give the stealerships a reason to void my warranty, and keep the recipts to prove it.
gator06 Posted August 20, 2012 #19 Posted August 20, 2012 I have cut open a Mobile-1 110 , the filter size , material and bypass, beats everything else i have seen. I will not use anything else anymore.
maineventurerider Posted August 20, 2012 #20 Posted August 20, 2012 I use Fram. Reasonable cost and available at Autozone and Wally World.
rickardracing Posted August 20, 2012 #21 Posted August 20, 2012 I work at a Yamaha dealer & $25.00 would buy 2 where I work....just saying $25 for two oil filters is highway robbery. Your employer should be shot. This is a prime example of why dealers are known as stealers and why they loose so much busines to online stores................just saying.
BigBoyinMS Posted August 20, 2012 #22 Posted August 20, 2012 I still have 4-5 SuperTech filters on the shelf but I have used the long and short Purolators and Nissan/Infiniti auto filters. (PART# 15208-9E01A) The Honda/Acura filters would work also but since they are made by Honeywell (Fram) I'd pass on them.
Yammy Posted October 28, 2012 #23 Posted October 28, 2012 As most of us know, Walmart does not carry Super Tech oil filters anymore.........What is everyone using now? It looks like Purolator won out on the bid. While in NC, I stopped in at Wheelers on US 129. He was selling Flo reusable filters. A little pricey but over time could be worthwhile. If there any good?? Has anyone tried these? http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/14/70/944/19141/ITEM/PC-Racing-FLO-Spin-On-Oil-Filter-With-Housing.aspx
bikerjohn Posted October 28, 2012 #24 Posted October 28, 2012 I bought a filter at walmart they moved them to a motorcycle section
Guest scarylarry Posted October 28, 2012 #25 Posted October 28, 2012 I bought a filter at walmart they moved them to a motorcycle section What Brand?
