Suzuki Oil Filter

[rraiderr]

Of the 3 oil filters below for Suzuki sport bikes will I see any real world difference if I am only running them for a race weekend or two?

I saw the web site showing media size but since they use different media not sure the point.

The K&N is the easiest as it has the nut on the end making safety wiring a breeze but the hose clamp safety wire method works on the others just fine.

Oil used is Amsoil 20W-50 motorcycle oil.

Suzuki OEM FILTER 16510-03G00-X07
Suzuki OEM FILTER 16510-07J00
Amsoil EAOM109
K&N KN-138

Thanks

Probably not, but as you mention, the K&N has a few design perks that I have come to enjoy as well. I use em exclusively for my spin on motorsports applications.

At one time, the same company made the OEM Suzuki oil filter, the Hi-Flo Filtro oil filter, and the K&N oil filter.

I would be surprised if they aren't all still made by the same company.

The K&N does have the welded on pressed steel "nut", that makes safety wiring and removal with a wrench, easy.

I've used all three 'brands' of oil filter, on the same bike. No issues with any of them.

I have read that a few times but he is basing his data on how it looks.

I would rather see how the filters perform via filtration and flow test.

My girl was great using the look at test but everything changed once I got her home and I rolled over in the AM and sew her with no makeup.

Almost all of the filters recommended for the bikes I've had have too high a bypass pressure.

I bet I know why, just look at he first paragraph that should tell you this guys qualifications to recommend what to use. http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Oils1.html

Yes, he doesn't hide his quals or lack thereof. At least there is info on construction and pictures and some info on filtering media area. If there was a better resource I'd would have quoted it.

Yeah, that old saw is getting a bit long in the tooth... Better than nothing, I s'pose. It has introduced a lot of motorcyclists to a more questioning mindset & provided them w/ choice. That's a good thing. Helped me back in the day.

Not very scientific. But it it IS independent (I think...) of any company's specific marketing or B/S. Everything that one reads these days is put out by industry-driven marketing; not neccessarily wrong, per se, but spun...
