Curt,
Get ready for a whole bunch of opinions on oil and filters. I have discovered through this forum that there are a many options that are OK. I use AmsOil synthetic 20W-50 Vtwin oil and the Yamaha filter. I switched to synthetic at the break-in service. I also noticed that the engine ran much quieter on the new oil.

Hey Curt
Nope. ain't doin it.  Almost got into it again  Here's a list of filters for the roadie. I've heard the Fram is the ultimate in junk.
Amsoil
(SMF103) chrome (SMF103C)
Bosch
(3300) (3330) (3323)
Mobil One
M108
BOSCH
.3300 3323
K&N
.KN-303
NAPA GOLD
...1358
PUROLATOR
.ML16817
STP
...SDF13
WIX
..51358
FRAM
...6017A
HASTINGS
LF-113
HI FLO
HF-303
EMGO
.10-82220
PER-FORM
J-503
Super Tech
..ST7317 (Wal-Mart)
The Wal-Mart ST 6607 is a little smaller than the stock filter and the 7317
is maybe a half inch longer. Both will work fine, your preference.
Oil Drain Crush Washers: The thread diameter is 14mm; the wrench size is
17mm, so you would need a washer with a 14mm inside diameter.<br><br>Post edited by: Musky, at: 2007/02/10 07:42 |

I switched to Mobil 1 and the Super Tech filter at 600 miles, all seems well. I did notice with length of the Super Tech filter I won't be able to use my filter wrench to get it off. It's so long there's no room left to get it on.

Mobil 1 V-Twin 20/50 did the trick for me. Haven't heard a peep out of the engine since changing over.  |

Hey digger
I think usually if people notice a difference in temp it's cooler.

Do you have a Carqwest anywhere around you? At least where I live they carry Mobile V and Amsoil oil and filters.
