Oil Filters (Harley M-8)

[ISP-FL]

I use Shaeffers in my custom motor and I use Shaeffers in my primary and transmission. I can order a case (12 quarts) of their engine oil on Amazon and it comes out to just under $13 per quart, which compared to buying it over the counter is a great price. Same with Shaeffers primary and tranny fluids.

I just stopped at my local dealer (Bert's, Port Charlotte) and picked up a couple chrome filters. $48 for two of them. Looking for a alternative. Any ideas? I'm sure Harley doesn't make their own filters.

HiFlow and Wix are good filters as is K&N

Last I knew NAPA filter were made by WIX. I used them for years on my twin cam. Never an issue. My trike was blacked out so I even used the black filter. Also the filter was the same as on the Ford 2300 4 in my wife's Stallion.

None of the above. Ultra Lube SAE 20W50 full synthetic 4T engine oil V- Twin API SL JASO. 5 gallon pail.Right from the refinery. DK Custom oil filter relocation kit with reusable filter. I'm not impressed by bullshit trendy names.

Thanks Kevin, it is on my "official to-buy" list. I checked your link and the only negative is my oil changes will take slightly longer due to cleaning/drying the filter. In reality though, all that means for an old retired guy is that I'll need three bottles of beer instead of two!
