Kevin Cameron delves into this subject in Cycle World magazine in the link below and also includes a video from their YouTube channel as well. It is very informative and takes oil viscosity out of the equation showing the mechanical/engineering reasoning behind it. Kevin Cameron on Causes of...

This oil filter was left on for a 10,460 interval in a 1995 Honda Accord 2.2L I-4. It is my wife's daily driver and normally sees a 70% highway to 30% city driving on a daily basis. The filter was in superb condition, with the ADV extremely pliable, pleating was nice and even without any tears...

Sorry, I was having difficulty getting a photo to post up the document, but have the link below to view it via goodle drive. The vehicle is as described, a 1995 Honda Accord with the 2.2L I-4 with approximately 171K miles. It's my wife's daily driver, with the driving being approximately 70%...

This Napa Silver was used in a family members 2002 Hyundai Elantra for a period of approximately 4 months and 3100 miles. As usual, par Wix construction, the canister was very strong and difficult to open, pleats were sturdy, straight, and evenly spaced. The ADV was also very flexible with the...

This oil filter was used in a family members 1984 Honda VF700 Magna. Mileage on this FCI is low at roughly 1200 miles, but total time used was 3 years and 10 months, so very nearly a 4 year FCI. I was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the filter, canister was in sturdy condition, and the...

This filter was installed in a 1995 Honda Accord for just over 7000 miles. Typical Wix construction, very sturdy canister, ADV was extremely pliable and functional, pleats were very uniform with no waviness whatsoever.

This was in a 1995 Ford Thunderbird for approximately 7000 miles. The canister was very tough, ADV was nice and pliable, and the filter media was in excellent condition with strong pleats and minimal waviness.

Not extremely impressed with this filter sadly; although when put in perspective that the use of this filter was in a 1992 Toyota Corolla in excess of 12,000 miles it's not all that bad. Canister was extremely sturdy, although pleats are very wavy and not uniform there is no tearing present. The...

This Purolator came off a 2002 Hyundai Elantra that was in use for 3000 miles. The canister was the easiest out of the bunch to cut through, the ADV was very pliable, and happy to report no tears of any sort throughout the filter. Pleats were very nice with minimal waviness.

I've been saving up some filters for everyones viewing and entertainment, enjoy! This is from the same friends 1989 Honda Accord 2.0L I-4 with approximately 4000 miles and 5 months of use. The filter construction was of good quality, but the nitrile ADBV was quite hard and inflexible after its...

This was used on a friends 03 Yamaha YZF600R for approximately 3000 miles and looks to be in excellent condition. No evidence of tearing, ADBV extremely flexible (as was the previous Wix), overall build quality quite impressive.

Here is the above stated filter used on a 1995 Honda Accord 2.2 I-4 for approximately a 6500 OCI, typical Wix build quality and construction...

Alrighty, this filter is from a friends Yamaha R1 that was in use for roughly 4,500 miles. I opened up this one, and plan on comparing it against HiFlo's HF-204 to have some more in-depth comparisons between the two down the road. Here's the latest and greatest from, "The World's Best Oil...

This is my first time cutting open an oil filter, but rest assured, definitely won't be my last! This Wix was used for about a 2800 mile interval on my new to me 2007 Yamaha FZ1 which now has just over 5000 miles on it. Again, excuse the photo's as it was done with a phone, but I'll use a real...

Since I had the ability to get ahold of both of these filers for my 86 Yamaha FZX700 (which I've always run Wix) I figured I'd do a comparison and do my first posting here with pics! So, as many know there has been much talk that K & N contracts will Hiflo to manufacture their oil filters (at...

I figured this may be fun and spur everyone to post like many do in the PCMO section and might give us some interesting oils/brews and filter combinations we motorcyclists haven't pondered yet. Feel free to give as much info as you'd like! 1986 Yamaha FZX700 Fazer: Shell Rotella 15W40, Wix...

Okay so here's my question, what do you guys think of these filters and have you been able to find any technical data about them? I recently came across these filters that are manufactured primarily for power sports equipment that will fit my Yamaha street bikes, found the proper part number...

Okay, here's my question for you guys. I've always been interested in how it seems that there are discrepancies between what SAE grade of oil (once the oil is up to operating temperature) and the corresponding ambient temperature in which it should operate. For instance, comparing two Honda...
