Fram oil filters

Tried the search with no luck. What are you guys using for oil filters? OEM? Fram?

Got any part #'s for the other-than oem alternatives?

thank you
jeff

It seems that many people on here have been using the pro line ppl-14610 which can be found at pep boys... that is the longer one, the shorter one, (just by a little bit) is ppl014612. If they don't have the Proline, I believe that they can cross referance them. I have heard on here that the OEM part is not good at all... (look through the history as there is a very good write up and test available). I heard that the Fram is not much better. That is all I know. I have always used the OEM filter... but those on here say that the 12.99 is better spent!! Just make sure to have a filter removal tool as they hammer those things on there quite well!! Look back at the threads.. there is a ton of info!!

To save you for searching for something called a "Proline", I think 3&3 meant to say "Purolator Pure One".

There are plenty of positive references and technical write-ups about the Pure One versus other aftermarket filters, do a quick google and do some reading if you're curious.

Just for your info, FRAMs are some of the worse oil filters out there, I have yet to see any recent (in the last 5 years) good reviews of the FRAM filters. Pure One and Mobil always seem to top the charts in the same period of time.

OEM is the one of the best ways to go.

proline is a purolator private label, like a "bargain filter" if you will, uses the same numbering system as Purolator. these are $3 filters, im sure the Pure One's are more expensive. I cant wait, delaer got my bike in today, should be built in 8-10 days

I use oem but that was because it was available to me. I used the shorter 002 rather than the stock 004 to clear up room for my brock exhaust. Those fuckers are on there tight!!

I think it is also a good idea to change the oil drain plug to a magnitic pick up one.

Purolator PL14610 is all you need to know.

The OEM's are merely average in quality.

Fram sucks. I wouldn't run one on my neighbors lawn mower.
