Busa Oil Filters

[LiBusa]

I'm reviewing my options for engine oil filters. I presently us the ML filter from purolator which costs me about half the price of a OEM filter. I understand that the filter I use is not a good filter. As a matter of conversation it appears that all the available filters including the factory one are not that good at filtering.

The recommended filter is the Purolator Pure One which has different threading which can be used by installing a different treaded fitting. Also the filter is taller which means that maybe some tube/plumbing may be in the way. According to Pulolator the pure one filter is to large for motorcyle oil pumps. Has any one done this filter Mod and if so does it work properly. Below is the site for the oil fitting adpter:

$15 bucks and shipping for a fitty cent fitting. Don't know brother, not only is it a tight squeeze getting the OEM out, it's pretty close to a header tube when installed. I know other filters are used, just don't know about the fitting and using other filters.

My bikes get the OEM every change, but then I've been told that dirty filters work better and I'm wasting my money.

I use the ML fliter never any problems, I read where it's one of the best. You'll always find someone saying don't use this one or that one.

I use a Napa filter.

K&N works for me

I either use OEM or K&N myself. The K&N has a nut on the end which makes removal every with the hot headers there a snap.

I guess you could remove your exhaust system every time you change your oil and filter...

Dude there is not room done there for a larger filter...just use one of the available filters. The Busa engine is damn near bullet proof...I have NEVER seen or heard of anybody that did normal oil and filter service on their bike that has had any failures with standard filters.

Who is telling you the ML16818 is not a great filter? The only thing that adaptor does is allow for use of possible lower quality filters , with lower burst strenght. That oil filter test doesn't include one of the ML16818"s or talk about burst strength, that lack of being sufficient, can wet the rear tire down.

I won't be switching filters on my Suzuki's.

So you've heard that too . I just can't imagine why they put one on the bike in the first place. Maybe just to add cost of ownership
