Oil Filter - Which one(s) do you use?

[ducatiz]

This is the Amsoil model number I got for Ducati: EAOM138C

I haven't used one yet, but thier website didn't specify it was for the 1098. It just said Superbike. Seems like they all use the same one.

All Ducatis which use a spin-on filter since 1984 use the same one. 

If you have a 1984 Pantah, same filter as the 2006 1098.

If you have a 1984 Pantah...

I wish.... Oh well. Fastwin probably has one laying around

I only use the oil filters that are kinda cylindrical, open on one end, & they kinda screw on to the bike somewhere...
I heard someone is making chrome oil filters? That would be shiny & pretty

FRAM has been making a chrome filter for some time....also Amsoil makes a "blingy" filter.

Thanks for the information.  I haven't found a filter wrench that fits the OEM filter on my '97 M900, but will try a strap filter remover next.

ducatizzzz - Where were you able to get an OEM Ducati filter for $10-$12 from AMS?  I just paid $18 at AMS (Dallas) on Saturday.

proitalia.com, but they are $15 now.

Looks like the HiFlo filters are available in the USA as well, Kneedraggers has them (for $7.80)

I am pretty sure that HiFlo makes the K&N filter for them, I forgot where I read that now... Same part number as well.  -- 153.

Any place local, other than the dealer, I could purchase an Amsoil or K&N oil filter?  Amsoil I'm pretty sure is either online or through a supplier/distributor.

Both Advance Auto and Autozone stock K&N but you'll have to get them to order the KN153 filter.

Amsoil works through their dealer network (like Amway)

+1 on the Amsoil EaO Filters I use them in my cars as well as my Duc   I just checked the oil in my Toyota Matrix (put the EaO filter on it about 3K ago) and the oil is still golden! usually it would be filthy black!  I am definately sold on these filters.  They stand up to the hype.

FYI - Anyone using the HiFloFiltro...HF-153...I saw these at:

Bates Motorcycle
14007 I-35 (Valwood Exit) > South of Valwood, on the West side of I-35. 

Filters were $8

I have an oil filter?  Cool!!  What does THAT do?   

It fill-ers your oil to make sure you always have plenty.
That way you don't have to check it.

Those Italians think of everything!



<edit> ...and for the record I use Ducati Fill-ers.  And yes Dude, they are all the same (at least since 1991).

Let's see, LYD is bragging about having a SMALL filter wrench. RichD says it Fill-er's your oil. That explains why there is always oil on my engine case, yet I never add oil. From personal experience, I have found there to be way to many threads on the filter holdie thing. Thats why I just use duct tape to put my filters on.
