Looks like Harley has a new oil filter supplier for the M8 engine (2025). Has a 5 Micron filter rating made by Mahle and Made in India.
Was some rumored controversy of the old design and possible oil restriction and someone posted pics of the small slits in the filter that was closed. I have no idea IF those rumors were true or not? The new MAHLE filter has holes in the center tube vs slits in last years filter if that even make a difference, I don't know? I never could figure out who the old OEM filter supplier was?
The MAHLE filter looks to be well made ( without me cutting it open to look ) its heavy, the packaging looks better than last years filter and I like that its in a bag and then in a box. I'm glad the slits are gone but wish it was USA made.
