Which oil filter to use now


Recommended Posts

--

 

After much research, I believe the best now is the Fram XG 7317 which is a 20,000 mile filter. It's not at all like the cheaper starter Fram filter that has gotten all the bad reports. I use it now on my '18 Eluder and will on my Road Star. I did a lot of checking around and comparing a bunch of other brands/models before choosing this since, I too, had been using the old Purolator Pure One.

That is true. I really am disappointed with Purolator. I have been a steady customer for them until the threads will not line up anymore. I ended up with 2 useless Purolator oil filters. :doh: At any rate, I switched to the FRAM ph6017 motorcycle filter and have been using it with no complaints at all.

The Fram PH6017 is a motorcycle filter. If you are into Fram stuff, try their CAR filter TG or XG 7317

Fram PH6017 is available at Wallyworld and works well.

Yeah but... it is a cheaply made motorcycle filter. I do my shopping at Wallyworld also and they have the much better Fram CAR filter XG or TG 7317 filter.

Wallyworld also now stocks (at least mine does) the much superior Hyundia/Kia filter made by Mann Hubble which also costs less than the 6017

Perhaps, but it has given me 162,000 miles without a hiccup (dino oil too). Doesn't burn any oil (had to add a smidge after a long run at 90 MPH - main tank and a 5 gal aux tank).

 

The Kia/Hyundai filter is intriguing though. Will look for it next time.

So are you saying the TG 7317 will fit our RSV?

See if you can exchange them for another brand. The Bosch has the same problem so I traded my extras in for Mobil One.

 

 

I was using them on all of my vehicles. I won't any longer.

 

I still have two for my VTX1300R. They still work on it. I still do not understand them changing without at least putting a letter after the number or better change the number.

 

WIX 51356, NAPA Gold 1358, Mobil 108 I do not know what the number is for the longer one. I used to use the longer Pure One on my VTX and RSV

 

Go over to the other site Yamaha Venture and Tour Deluxe site. There is a good list of filters that fit. BTW that site will be unsupported in February. I hope someone takes it over. I am too computer ignorant to do it.
