"> Subject: Oil Filter Cross-Reference
For anyone who has had trouble finding non-factory oil filters for
your Buell Blast, here is a list of part numbers that will work as
direct replacements for the factory filter.
Manufacturer/Part Number
H-D / 63806-00Y
AC/DELCO / PF1233
MOTORCRAFT / FL836
PUROLATOR / L14476
STP / S4967
BOSCH / 3311
MOBIL / M1-103
FRAM / PH4967
K&N / HP-1003
BECK/ARNLEY / 041-8066
WIX / 51394
Napa / 1394
FLEETGUARD / HF6158
Alternatively, if you can't remember to bring this list to the auto
parts store with you, lookup a filter for the 1988-2000 Toyota
Celica/Corolla 1.5-1.8L engine.
Here is a massive study on oil filters. Not too surprisingly,
almost all oil filters are manufactured by less than a handful of
companies. As such, there are few differences between brands. I
can recommend the Mobil 1 or Purolator PureOne filters. A few
dollars more, but much better filters.

For all of the crap that flows right through your filter, but can
still damage your engine:

NHRS sells one specifically for the Blast/XB filter as well.
Note: Be wary of using any 75/90 or other gear oil - they may contain sulfates that damage wires and any yellow metals found in the primary where it was used. It is now recommended not to use it!
Note II: 1/8th qt. Risoline plus 1/8th qt. Marvel Mystery Oil - 25% of your oil capacity - will loosen and bring back a sticking lifter - freeing it from gunk causing it to stick. If lifter is faulty - it will continue to make noise at start up before quieting back down - replace lifters.
