Du-Rron Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share #27 Posted April 10, 2015 I bought a Bosch 3300 a few weeks ago and finally got around to installing it today. Same problem; as soon as the gasket was starting to make contact, the filter came to a hard stop and would go no more. Here's a pic of the yamaha filter I took off next to the Bosch. The oil filter bolt on my bike is all the way in; it just sticks out too far for this filter that is not concave. I guess I'll be looking for something with a concave surface tomorrow. [ATTACH=CONFIG]98652[/ATTACH] May I suggest that you try a Purolator PL14612 (yellow-short) filter as this is what folks have been using forever. If you would like to try something completely different, see here. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?101114-Purolator-PL14459-Oil-Filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Du-Rron Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share #28 Posted April 10, 2015 I just finished installing the PL14610 (long yellow) with no problem. I purchased it at Advance Auto today. Their book specifies the ML number referenced a couple of posts back but that has been previously discussed in another thread as poor quality. Even though I have always used the PL14610 I did purchase the PL14612 based on the discussion in this thread. I will return it tomorrow. I'm not sure why I have always used the longer filter other than maybe it has more filtering capacity?? It is a little long put a simple tilt of it as I put it up into position does the trick. This is amazing as you have a 2012 RSV and I have a 2012 RSV, yet I can't get the PL14610 to fit without removing the regulator. Hmmmmmm. Also, the 3FV series Yamaha filter is the paper disk filter. Is that the original filter or have you bought a few from the dealer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted April 10, 2015 Share #29 Posted April 10, 2015 Well here was how I came about the 7313. First off NONE of the filter guys will tell you that it is ok to use a car filter on a bike. See the response above from Purolator. I am in the store and know the 14610 and 14612 fit in the past, so gasket and threads are good to go, rite? So next step is to find the cross refference in the boox to other filters they carry. Did you know that the books they put in WalMart in auto section no longer have filter cross reference in the back? Then remembered someone posting that he has used same filter on his Mitsubshi or something. so went to those sections. Ahh found it. In the listing it shoed this Fram filter, and it was dipped at thread area. I compaired it to the MCspecific filter and threads etc were same. Filter a tad longer like the 610.

pbjman Posted April 10, 2015 Share #31 Posted April 10, 2015 Went to the local independent shop, got a Napa Gold 1358 filter. Shaped more like the Yamaha filter in my pic a few posts up. It went on normally, I went about a 1/4 turn past where it made firm gasket contact, no leaks before or after test ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't normally use them but this was given to me with a jug of oil from the dealer. He gave me a free oil change as a customer satisfaction reward. Since I do my own work he gave me the materials.

I've been using the PL14610 for about 100k now and I've never had a problem putting it on. Just changed the oil and filter yesterday with no problem...

djh3 Posted April 13, 2015 Share #36 Posted April 13, 2015 As has been mentioned. I think they changed the design. So until stocks have been depleted, it is possible to get the "old" type top longer filter. And if it is the non-dipped top and you got it on and no leaks. your a luckier guy than me.

Bigdogcc Posted May 25, 2016 Share #37 Posted May 25, 2016 I just changed my oil and noticed a leak... So is this still an issue and if so what brand do we know that works? I need to replace it asap before I can ride again. How much oil am I going to lose changing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted May 25, 2016 Share #38 Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Drain it all out and check the filter. You may have 2 o-ring gaskets on there. If not you'll probably have to find the correct filter. A K&N 303 I think will work. Purolator changed the design to their 14610 and 14612 filters so now they won't pull up to compress the gasket. If you try to ride it like that you may pump all your oil out down the road somewhere, not to mention getting oil all over your back tire! That could turn into a bad situation real quick!!!!

M61A1MECH Posted May 25, 2016 Share #40 Posted May 25, 2016 You can pull the filter and lose only the oil that is in the filter, very little will drain out when you pull the filter, I was in the habit of changing the filter on my Venture about every 3,000 miles when I was running synthetic oil and changing the oil every 6000 miles, I would change the filter about half thru the interval.

gez Posted May 25, 2016 Share #41 Posted May 25, 2016 Am I missing something. Is there something wrong with the Yamaha OEM filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted May 25, 2016 Share #42 Posted May 25, 2016 Not really, they are just pricey when there are many many car filters that fit perfectly and work just as god, if not better than the Yamaha filter that costs 2 or 3 times as much... I usually buy Bosch that are longer than the Yammy filters for around four bucks or less. What do you pay for your filters?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted May 26, 2016 Share #43 Posted May 26, 2016 I found that Oreilys has WIX filters for good price. And the Wix filters fit right. Even on my Victory it uses the same filter the RSV did. I still use the long option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Du-Rron Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share #44 Posted May 26, 2016 Am I missing something. Is there something wrong with the Yamaha OEM filter? Yes, the Yamaha oil filter is a pricy piece of junk, and not widely available like an aftermarket filter, and I cannot get one 7 days a week.

bongobobny Posted May 26, 2016 Share #45 Posted May 26, 2016 Here's a link to some equivalent oil filters. Word of caution, there may or may not be changes in the manufacture of certain filters, such as the Purolator, this is an older list... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?1849-Oil-Filter-Cross-Reference There are several others not listed on this list that I have in my notes, but that info may have come from Venturers, or another older thread...

MikeWa Posted May 26, 2016 Share #47 Posted May 26, 2016 I just have to much time and effort invested in my bike to be trying to save a few bucks on oil filters. I ordered a half dozen from Yamaha. When those run out I will get more. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G in SC Posted May 27, 2016 Share #48 Posted May 27, 2016 I kind of gave up chasing and just get the K&N (KN-303). No argument that it will do fine and is now more available in the last year or so. (Amazon, Advance, Auto Zone. Not yet at my Walmart) And,,, as I used today,,, has a 17mm nut. Same size as our oil plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragtop69gs Posted May 27, 2016 Share #49 Posted May 27, 2016 I found the same thing with the Purolator filters, they are making the plate convex now so the gasket does not quite seat anymore. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
