I was just wondering what oil filter everyone is using. Ill be runnin amsoil 10w/40 synthetic oil but im not sure which oil filter to use. So if yall can just let me know what brand oil filter and if possible the model number of the oil filter I would greatly appreciate it!

i use the K&N kn-204 for my 07.. it works great and i replace it every second oil change.

There is not a more efficient filter made than the AMSOIL EA Series Filter.

The AMSOIL number for a Yammie is EAOM-103

Me too. Way less expensive and better than a bike oil filter.

I've seen several comparisons that put this filter at the top.

Scotts is a great product for race bikes. You change oil so much... it will pay for itself in a season!

Oem filter :fact

Mobil 1. Part number M108. Fits almost every year Mazda Miata if you need to look it up at the store.

Redline oil, K&N filter.

Motul 10-40 with a K&N filter

Cool detail about K&N filters is that it has a bolt cap on top so you can use a regular metric wrench. This is nice for 2 reason; 1 - filter is easier to remove, 2 - you can drill and safety wire through the bolt's head, no need for additional hardware.

I agree and actually the K&N filters come predrilled for saftey wire. . . nice and easy

Motul 5100 and a genuine Yamaha filter.. made by Denso, I think

I use scotts reuseable filter great investment.. for the long run :nocontrol

Went to Shucks last night for some chemicals, FRAM 6017A went up in price! They want $10 for it, while most automotive filters are $6.
Not that FRAM was that great of a filter anyway... but you can go with BOSCH 3300 that will work just fine as well.

if youve ever gotten a stuck oil filter then you know the positive about K&N, i use a K&N and Castrol Actevo 10w40 changing both every 2500 miles. the only prblem with the K&N filers is their problem with build up. ive rebuilt 6 motors,,, car motors,,,, that were running K&N and all 6 blew up due to the filter clogging.

where can i get my hands on Amsoil products?????

Use k&n. Predrilled for safety wire, high quality, nut on the top for easy removal as well as torqueing to proper torque on install.

Im going to try this mobil filter. Its the same one that my subaru wrx uses. M108

Ive been using the purolator Pureone model #PL14612 on my 07 R6 with great results. Been using the same oil filter for years on both of my Subarus.



Mobil 1. Part number M108. Fits almost every year Mazda Miata if you need to look it up at the store.

Oh Yea, its a known fact that the purolator PL14612 is about 1cm longer the the oem filter. A lot of the time it will slightly rub against the shifter pivot shaft.

If you "like me" set up your 06+ R6 for MOTO GP reverse shifting, the shaft will clear the PL14612 with no problem.

I was at advanced auto parts today so i looked at both the Purolator and the Mobil M108 and just as i suspected the mobil is about 1cm shorter then the purolator. So it right about the same exact size as the oem filter.

So if you use the Purolator and think that the shifter pivot shaft rubs against it a lil to much the try the Mobil M108 it will work great!

The Purolator PJ14612 is about 6 bucks and some change.

The Mobil M108 is about 10 bucks.

If you race (not track days, but really race) check out LP catalog, they sell K&N. Join Team Privateer and get the stuff at cost.

does anyone know if the m1 108 will work on an 04 also?

I've used a purolator in the past, can't remember the number but it's probably the predecessor to the 14612... it leaked a drop or two of oil every now and then... If you compare the mobil to the older purolator the mobil is concave and the purolator is convex which I believe caused the filter to not tighten enough and leak a little... that's when I switched to the mobil m108/m110

I have a crap load of purolators also for my wrx... I think I may try the new ones on the r6... the mobil filter is expensive at $10, while the purolator can be had for half

I can probably find you a filter for about $3.00 if you are looking for nothing but price...

Oil and Filters are not the place to skimp on quality.. Oil is the Life blood of your engine and a filter can make a difference in how well and/or long the oil will last and the amount and size of contaminents kept from circulating through your engine and tranny.

If an AMSOIL filter was not available, the Mobil 1 or WIX would be my next choice.

Bob S ADG

While I appreciate your input I am aware of when not to skimp on maintenance items... From the research I've done on BITOG and various car forums Pure one oil filters are right up there with the best in filtration and flow. There are also numerous people on the subaru forums with high HP vehicles who run the Pure One filters... I've run them in my car for several years as well, which is well over stock power.

While I have been spending $10 on mobil filters since my first try using an older purolator filter on my bike didn't fit quite right I don't think it's worth the price. Since I have plenty of filters for my car laying around (which seem to be a newer version that would fit the bike better) I figure I may as well go ahead and use it since it's treated my car well for so long...

Oh and for what it's worth I got my Pure One filters for less that $3 :D

I use OEM and a self tighting oil wrench. Works great and never a problem with removal, very easy. I don't know what the oil wrench was called but I got it at pepboys. Its the one that has a chain link for size adjustment.

I just ordered a case of 10w-40 Amsoil for my 600-mile oil change and it was delivered yesterday so the 08 is almost fully broken in now!

My conundrum is this:

I have both of the aforementioned filters (Purolator PureOne vs. K&N Performance Gold) for the oil change and I'm torn between which one to use. I've heard good things about both but I've been leaning towards the PureOne recently... what do you guys think? Thoughts, studies, and comments from riders who've used both are greatly appreciated!

If those are the only choices, I'd go with the Purolator. Rather see you go with a WIX or NAPA Gold if you didn't order the AMSOIL Filter.

You do know that you cannot extend your oil change interval without using the AMSOIL Filter, right ?

Hey guys! i am comming up on my 600 mile mark on my 08 here in the next day or so. Question What oil filter to buy? i already have the yammaha one i got from the dealer. Should i go get a wix instead or will this be fine?

and i was planning on buying amsoil 10-40 synthetic? good choice?

Im sure it doesnt matter but I personally would what to put synthetic in for at least a couple thousand. Then again, that is just me...

By 600 miles given proper break in everything should be already settled in place. You don't want to use sync for the 1st oil change, but after that - all good.

Does anyone know how big the K&N filter is? If I go with that, will it rub against the shift rod, or will I be okay with it?

Some mis-conception about synthetics here.....

The 600 mile service is to get machining and casting debris from the engine. You could switch to synthetic before you even pulled out of the dealership if you wanted to, but, you should still change at 600 so it would be a waste of money..

If you are going to run the AMSOIL, why not the AMSOIL EA Series Filter ? there is not a better filter made for your M/C.

Stay away from Fram or any other cheap filter off brand filter. IF you are not going to use the EA Filter I would go with WIX, then Mobil 1 and the Purolator.

I don't care for the K&N either... filters great, just doesn't hold particulate worth a darn as it is compressed cellulose.

Emgo, is better than a Fram, of course, every other filter on the market is probably better than a Fram too.

I see a lot of things that many people call reports and they are nothing more than "Worked great for me".... "Never had a Problem".... Well without using a particle counter, there is no way of knowing just how good the filter works... And, unless you have cut apart every single filter, you will not know if the filter failed or not. I have seen filters (unknown Asian Mfg.) where the element had collapsed on one side allowing unfiltered oil to circulate through the engine.

The other "reports" or what some people think are "tests" is where the filter is cut apart to look at construction.. Can't tell what the Media is, Pleat counts don't mean anything.... But, you can tell by other things about some quality or price issues....The Emgo utilizes an inexpensive stamped metal bypass relief "Spring"... where some of the better filters will use an actual Spring which is by far a more accurate way of setting by-pass pressures.

I'll take a WIX any day over an Emgo, although I do prefer an AMSOIL Filter, as nothing out performs them. They are conservatively rated @ 15 Micron Absolute even though an independent testing facility has tested them to a lower Micron Rating.

Bob S.

Well maybe I should get some Amsoil filters since that's the oil I use.

hello all...i have also been looking into the best bang for the buck oil filter...heres a website for those who havnt seen it yet that tears opens a few filters including the amsoil, wix , oem, fram, and a couple others...the best bang for the buck so far would be the NAPA GOLD (WIX MFG.) which retails about 8 bucks or so looks very similar if not better than the rest...my choice proved worthwhile for the K&N just for the ease of installation and number of filter pleats and size....after seeing this i will never buy a fram or OEM yamaha ever again...

I am not taking anything away from filter cut-aparts above, but adding some necessary info.

Although cutting apart a filter is a good way to see how something is constructed, that is only a part of it. Pleat counts really don't mean anything...

It does nothing to show the efficiency of the filter, flow rate, Micron Rating etc...

The WIX/NAPA Gold is a very good filter. The K&N... not so..

One of the things just looking at a filter would be the bypass relief spring.. See how the WIX, AMSOIL and several use an actual Spring compared to a stamped metal "spring" which would you rather have ??..

Also, that is an old AMSOIL Filter SMF Series which is obsolete.. Although the new EA Series is similar in construction, you cannot visually tell the difference in the Media used and the difference in the type of material used in the valve. The new EA Series is conservatively rated at 15 Micron Absolute.

Bob S.

i use motul 10-40....i have an 05 r6 with 14000miles. i use the K&N oil filter. cause it was that little wrench thing on the bottom. so its easy to take off and put on. thats about $15

well for me it was about not using the oem anymore...and doing a little more homework...and i have 11k on my 06 r6 now and still running strong...so im not trying to take away anything from any one company beside fram and OEM...i just think the K&N would be the best fit for me because ease of replacement...the nut on there is worth the extra couple bucks because i dont always change my oil at the same place...to each his own i guess...

K&N 303 on an 06 (Well any R6 99-08 so far)

I'll take a WIX any day over an Emgo, although I do prefer an AMSOIL Filter, as nothing out performs them. They are conservatively rated @ 15 Micron Absolute even though an independent testing facility has tested them to a lower Micron Rating.

this number doesn't mean anything to me without a comparison to other filters. do you have those micron ratings as well? i'm an amsoil user, so i'm just curious...

Actually, it means quite a bit.. There is no full flow filter that compares to the 15 Micron Absolute ability of the AMSOIL EA Series... WIX is about 13 Nominal for the Yamaha, Mobil 1 is 19 at around 76% Purolator was around 22 Nominal....

So the ideal number here is 15 ? is it better to be higher or lower ?

Ideal would be less than 1, but that is an impossible number to achieve from a full flow filter. AMSOIL is the Only company that has a 15 Micron Absolute, which is a conservative rating by AMSOIL. Tests have shown that the actual Micron Rating is lower... And yes, the lower the number, the better the filtration.

AMSOIL Filter for a Yamaha, EAOM-103, WIX 51358... Don't remember the Mobil..

i see that the WIX filters are available through amsoil. do u know the connection between the two companies?

i see that the WIX filters are available through amsoil. do u know the connection between the two companies?

AMSOIL is a Master Warehouse for WIX...

Bob Schultz

so absolute, nominal, and a percentage are related to each other how? i've actually got my ea filter and amsoil coming... but now after reading 7 pages of oil, i'm curious as well.

i'm assuming that absolute is another way to say "full flow". nominal is acceptible? and anything lower than XX% will simply be called out as a percentage of the flow ability?

thanks for the info.

Let's put things into perspective first. The human eye can see to about 40 Micron.

The AMSOIL EA Series filters have an Absolute Efficiency Rating (98.7%) of 15 Micron, which meand that they catch all particles 15 Micron and larger...and does a Superior job in the 5-15 Micron range which is critical.

A Nominal Rating, means that the filter catches 50% of the particles that size and larger.

A pecentage is just that... the percentage of Capture Efficiency.. so the closer you get to Absolute at the smallest Micron Rating without restricting flow, the better the filter is.

The AMSOIL filter actually has a smaller Micron Rating than listed, but AMSOIL is a Conservative Company and chose a slightly larger number.

Bob Schultz

so the "catching ability" is far superior on the amsoil filter... how about the flow? how does that compare?

still... i'm just curious.

i just bought a scotts aluminum filter with the stainless mess inside. i'm gonna give it a go and see how it works. i do like the idea of the rare-earth magnet integrated into the design to catch particles. we'll see how it works.

Any updates ??
Where did you get the filter from ??

still... i'm just curious.

The reason that the Amsoil filter can do such a great job of catching small particles and not hurt oil flow is due to the nano fiber material they are using. Other types of medium material will affect flow if it is designed to be too restrictive so to speak. Typical full flow oil filters are a compromise between being too restrictive without compromising oil flow.

I just changed my oil and filter a couple days ago. Used to work at a motorcycle shop and we carried most oil filters available. The majority of the filters we sold were K&N, I think that is more because the majority of people who think about oil filters and air filters immediately think K&N. I have the amsoil filter in my bike and i'll be interested to see how it looks after I change it. I'll try and post some pictures.

Am I stupid or what? I can't find what kind of oil filter to buy for my bike in the manual...

Just ordered a K&N filter. Used to use the stock one but figured for $7 why not!

Thought I'd toss in this question as well. What's the easiest and cheapest way of losing the stock oil filter? If anything, I know a filter wrench, but is it easy enough to untighten by hand?

Too tight a fit to get a good grip with your hand.Ive got one of those filter wrench's that fit over the filter body.You just put your socket wrench on it to remove/install.Anyway its your if you want it.Doesnt fit my re-useable filters.

I bought a hiflo filter for my first change but the rest I am going to use a Toyota F2 filter. It is the filter used on small Toyota 4 cylinders like the Echo, Scion XB, etc. It is made by Denso like the stock Yamaha filter (probably the same thing) but only costs me $4. I compared my factory filter to the factory one that came off of my Xb and they look the same. Good cheap but quality alternative for anyone who doesn't want to pay Yamaha $15 for an oil filter. Does anyone know the part number for the Yamaha filter (not the first one that came on the bike)? I want to compare it to the Toyota part number to see if they actually are the same.

I just use a degreaser like formula 405 or wheel cleaner.Ive yet to try brake cleaner though.

The Scotts Filter is fine for Racing applications where you don't worry about wearing an engine out because you usually puke it first.

For Street applications, where you are interested in longevity and cost, a Good Quality Spin -On filter is still the way to go.

You will also be able to purchase many years of filters that do a better job than the Scott's for the cost and not have all the mess and added expense of clean-up.

Doc

If longevity is the goal for a street application(which it should be).Then you'd want better filter/filtraton.This is a strong selling point for filter manufacturers.

If your gonna "puke" the race engine sooner than later.Then why buy a reuseable filter.Id would rather trash a cheaper filter & not worry about metal fragments destroying it.

The AMSOIL EA Series filter is unbeatable at 15 Micron Absolute and has the same flow rate as the OEM Filter.

Where the Scott's helps in a Racing Application is that it virtually has no back pressure and offers a Slight HP Gain...

The Mobil Filter is a respectable filter. Personally, if the AMSOIL filter is not available, I opt for the WIX.

Doc

Emgo is a good OEM replacement. Here is a write up on the different filters. http://www.calsci.com/motorcycleinfo/FilterStudy.html

That write up has little information pertaining to the actual quality of the filters and NO Information on the actual Capture Efficiency of any of the filters. It is out-dated for information on several of the filters.

NO Testing was performed on any of the filters. There is no way to tell how a well a filter works without testing actual fluids with Particle Counters.

Pleat counts mean absolutely nothing.

Just because a certain manufacturer makes several brands of filters, does not mean the filters are the same, they are not.

There are approximately 75 different media types available to each manufacturer, different types of drain-back valves, stamped metal relief springs or coil springs, gaket material and can thicknesses as well.

Hastings make a good multi-pass depth type filter at around $8.00, they also make $1.50 quick lube filters. I would hope that everyone would realize that the filters are not even close other than looks and Name..

Interesting thread, I though most people would stick with the standard yamaha Oil filter (I use genuine manufacturers item on all my bikes)

I use silkolene oil in all my bikes/cars Full syn only.Im currently using

Silkolene PRO 4 Plus 5w-40 The Ultimate Full Synthetic Ester 4-Stroke Engine Oil

In my 2006 ("s" model) r6 Changed at 6020 miles it had 2 services prior to this at 800-1800miles both at main dealers so i presume a semi-syn was used.

But all this amsoil business is strange to me in the UK never heard or used any there products? maybe there only be big in the states?

Anyhow is the standard filter really pap? or still good ? migth consider changeing it

don't order it urself, it'll cost $16+. i can place an order for u and they'll be a few bucks cheaper (dealer wholesale pricing). i'll donate any commissions to the local air fence fund. lemme know, my dealer membership is running out soon and i don't think i'm gonna renew :D

let me know if you want to help me out. I need two. Can you just set it up to ship right to my house? Paypal? I had a preferred membership but it expired 9/31/08.

The problem with buying just a filter or 2 is the freight... It costs the same to freight 1 as it does 4..

Dealer Cost on 2 EAOM-103 filters would be $25.00 (12.50 ea) plus $7.10 in freight, Plus your local Taxes.....
