TIA   Daves Posted on Monday, January 16, 2006 - 06:29 pm:        Wal-Mart Super Tech = ST4967 Fram = PH4967 AC = PF1233 Motorcraft = FL836 STP = S4967 K&N= hp-1003 Wix= 51394 Bosch= 3311 Purolator=L14476 H-D=63806-00Y AC Delco=pf1233 MOBIL= M1-103 BECK/ARNLEY = 041-8066 Napa = 1394 FLEETGUARD = HF6158   Electraglider_1997 Posted on Monday, January 16, 2006 - 06:48 pm:        Daves, Can you say for certain that they all have the same spring constant for back pressure?   Daves Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2006 - 04:53 am:        Nope, I would use the HD one. Use the others and take you chances. For the few bucks per year difference why not just use the right one?   Larryboy Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2006 - 05:00 am:        thanks dave. no chance taken on the wix/napa filters. the only one i wouldn't use is the fram/walmart. the rest are quality and proven to be so.   Electraglider_1997 Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2006 - 10:26 am:        I'll stick with the one that comes in a Buell box.   Chadhargis Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2006 - 12:41 pm:        I typically order two oil filters at a time and use the OEM one. I figure I can't go wrong if I use the one the bikes comes with. In the past, that has cost me upwards of $12 per filter. Buell parts are so damn cheap, that I could order two for the price of one Ducati or Yamaha filter.   Lowflyer Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2006 - 12:52 pm:        I use a Wix p/n 51394. It has a catchy name.   Thunderbox Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - 04:11 pm:        I don't use oil filters I just have a plug and it bypasses the filter altogether. It's a lot cheaper that way and I don't keep my bikes very long so the next guy gets screwed. I do use good oil but it comes from the used oil container at work. But believe me some of that stuff still has a few hundred miles on it. I have never had an engine problem.   Stevenknapp Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - 04:18 pm:        How much is the OEM oil (SYN3) and filter?   Daves Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - 04:27 pm:        I think the oil is 8.25 The filter is 6.95 of course you'd get the Badweb discount   Electraglider_1997 Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - 04:49 pm:        I get my oil from the deep fat french fryer at Burger King.   Thunderbox Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - 05:03 pm:        Come on guys I was just joshin yuh. I used to do that though when I had my bugs bunny ford lol.   Lowflyer Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - 10:32 pm:        I don't use oil. I just spray Pam into the spark plug holes every 3k miles.   Stevenknapp Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - 11:27 pm:        The special oil filter wrench needed for my old BMW R1200GS was ~$80. There were a few nice aftermarket ones for $40, then someone finally made a plastic one for $8. That was for just the filter wrench. I must say, the prices quotes for the OEM bits really aren't that bad. Maybe it's just my perspective.
