All..
Does anybody have any evidence on an oil filter related failure due to time and not mileage?? I have heard rumor about an oil filter in general being saturated in oil for enough time cam start to "break apart" internally?? Again just rumors... My vehicle in question is a harley davidson motorcycle which I usually change oil and filter before winter storage..but due to an injury this year I have not put on many miles, and was thinking about storing bike this winter without a full oil/filter change...and possibly running this filter out until next winter (2015) . If im being "cheap"..chime in and tell me please. I use an expensive synthetic oil (Redline 20w50) in this bike which is hopped up a bit and driven very hard...but at the same time I do not like to throw away money. I personally do not think that 2 years time wise is harmful (with low mileage)...but if im wrong than please tell me. With proof of course : . )
-Thank you
