OK, I've pretty much had it with being charged a fortune for an oil change. What filter (and part number) are you guys using? I am going to change to a full synthetic. I have read a few of the threads regarding types of oil and shearing and such. What are you all using nowadays. My bike is a 2006 and has about 32k on the clock. TIA, Jonsocal | ||

And here we go!  ....... I use a wally world filter, and so do many others. Oil filter: Wal-Mart Super Tech ST4967. Oil: Moble 1. 15/50 will work, got in both holes now, will go to 20/50 next time around for the summer, I'm only 2000 mi away from next change. Or will use amsoil 20/50. You've opened a canO' oil thread, have fun! | ||

I use the KN177 and HD 20-50 for now, my bike has around 4500 miles on it. I'll switch to synth at the next oil change and either use Mobil 1 or Amsoil. | ||

Wix 51394 (May try the 51396 next) and Mobil 1 Vtwin 20/50 synth sold at Wally World (I use both because they are easy/convenient to find) Run Formula+ in the primary side. Just came back from a 2200 mile ride and was pleased with the performance of both. | ||

I guess I don't understand why you would put a "wally world" filter on your bike with a good oil. If you buy a cheap filter you mite as well put in cheap oil. Spend a few cents more and do it right.This is why we bought a Buell in the first place...American made and a great American company! | ||

Actually, I mis-spoke. The Wix is from Napa. The Mobil1 is from WM. | ||

You can also get the Wix from Amsoil. I usually buy a case of oil and 3-4 filters at a time. Try to order mine and a few friends all at one time.. cheaper that way. | ||

I guess I don't understand why you would put a "wally world" filter on your bike with a good oil. The Wal Mart Supertech 4967 filter is USA made. It differs from the Buell Black in that the relief valve is plastic and the Buell is a stamped steel arrangement, and the gasket is square in cross section rather than semi-circular. I have GOT to post pics of the two I have cut apart in the garage... | ||

Thanks Xbimmer for the pick me up. I get almost all my ideas, and follow most of the research of the great people that have gone before me, have tried and put into practice. | ||

I can't believe I thought of paying someone to complete my oil change for me. That was ridiculously easy! I went with the Mobile 1 V-Twin 20/50 and the Supertech ST4967 filter. I have 31K on the clock and this is the first time I have used synthetic oil. I'll update as to how the performance changes if any. (Now to replace that fan with the bad bearing......)  | ||

The Napa 1394 is what I use.It also fits my 140hp Suzuki outboard on my little boat. |
