Doing an oil change tomorrow and have a bosch 3330 oil filter(my husband bought it) but I see that some one in an earlier post sited the part number 3311. Has anyone used this exact bosch 3311 filter and did it work? Just wondering why/how my husband could do a search and come up with a different number. Thanks in advance for any input! Alisha | ||

These are all pretty much fans of 3311. The one you have possibly may have a different relief valve setting. (Although that may be an urban legend, I'm sure someone knows the facts on that.) http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/327 77/56881.html http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/327 77/487683.html http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/327 77/278459.html | ||

From a previous post: would verify some of the filters on that list. I checked the specifications of some filters that I considered using from that list. I found that the bypass valve pressure setting is higher on a number of the listed filters. The Buell bypass should be 8-11 psi, many were greater than 14 psi. This is not a big deal on high pressure car systems but may be an issue on the low pressure Buell system. Just be careful, as an example, the above listed Purolator is L14476. This car filter has a relief valve pressure of 14-18 psi. Much higher than the correct WIX filter. The Purolator motorcycle filter # ML16822 relief is 12-15 still higher. I have always used a WIX filters because of their high quality and they publish specifications on all of their filters. I use a WIX Buell listed # 51394. It is the same as the NAPA 1394. I spoke with the WIX engineer and found that the WIX 51396 is identical but 0.5" longer. I will use it next time just to get a little extra oil and filter media area. The bottom line is, I will not use a filter from any manufacturer that does not provide specific functional data. Saving a couple $ on a filter is not worth it to me. | ||

I have used the Bosch 3311 oil filter on my '06 XB12 since it was new. Currently the clock shows 65,000 miles, with the oil filter changes at 3000 mile intervals. The Bosch filters are available at Kragen and AutoZone for about $5.65. |
