I just bought an oil filter at Honda dealership today and it cost me 21 bucks. I was wondering if you guys all get oil filter at dealership or there are better places to go to. I was under the impression that the oil filter is different than say car oil filter so that's why I went to the dealership.

 

i use a car filter on my 929. your f4 is the same. its the same filter that fits later honda and nissan cars. cross a fram# 6607. i use an oem japanese manufacturer (NPN). cost me $2.50. i try to get what comes in white or black, thats good quality. i dont like seeing a blue or orange filter in there.

 

I get a K&N from the local shop and they are $9.99.
And they come with a nut on the end for easy install and removing.

 

My supplier is $13.87. The "expensive" shop in town charges $15.95.

 

So a car filter is good on our bike?
Can someone confirm whether Fram 6607 will fit on my F4?

 

Fram even has a motorcycle oil filter, not sure if it fits on my bike tho.

 

Yes, Fram PH6607. Although the F4 isn't an option in Fram's application list, the 929 & RC51 are...& they use the same oil filter as the F4.

i was at walmart, getting my rotella t oil, some years back. i saw that they had motorcycle filters. i looked up my application, mainly because i bought one from the dealer and got bent over, just to see if there was a different option. the book with all the bike listings said that it was the 6607, not a bike number at all. being a mechanic that uses those filters all day long on cars, i started running the higher quality japanese filters that i carry in stock. i have had no problems at all. they are the same filter. the factory listings wont tell you that, but the after market will.

i don't use fram, just the number for reference.

 

i use fram because I didnt want to wait for a K&N it works just fine and at $7 bucks cant complain

 

Thank you guys for the input. I really appreciated.
