All good responses and I really appreciate the quips. Many have opined about electrolysis. Others have rightly opined about the downside of aluminum-on-aluminum thread mating in terms of durability. To Paolo's question, the OEM plug (M15x1.5) is steel (not SS) with a magnetic core, and (I...

This question actually relates to a motorcycle but the question is universal: it's mechanical. Consider that the choices here for the plug metal are SS and aluminum. With an aluminum case, is SS absolutely ideal for the drain plug? Can an aluminum plug be used just as well? I ask this because...

I just installed the Fram PH6017A filter. I was interested in the XG7313 because it's longer, and therefore may filter a little better.

Unless Bob Buckman (Champion Labs) knows something we don’t know, it looks like the ST7313 is history. I think when all is said & done, I like ZeeOSix’s suggestion the best: Fram XG7313 Available here for the same price...

A specific link to these items would be...

The response from Tasch72 made no sense to me. Does anyone know where to get the ST6607, ST7313, or even XG7313 filter ???

Thanks for all responses Bluefeb95 & ZeeOSix!! I had seen the spec sheet for the Fram PH6017A. It disappoints me that ST doesn't do the same for its filters !! So now that we have that straight, does anyone know where to get the ST6607, ST7313, or even XG7313 filter ???

Newby here and first post: For my Triumph Bonneville, the Fram oil filter is PH6017A, which is probably a fine filter. But I'd like to explore a Super Tech alternative, which has led me to: ST6607 It's 2.5" long and reportedly has a thread size of M20X1.5. Does anyone know the ID/OD of the...
