stainless steel oil filters

Gas Man · 02-13-2010, 01:03 AM

OSP is right on. I have done a ton of research on these and run them on all my bikes. I run K&P filters. Look them up. I'm on my phone so cut me some slack.

Yes you clean them with brake clean and an air hose.

I have the pics and data to back it up, you just have to wait till later. I'll post what I found.

Bottom line is this

They filter better than what the paper guys "claim".

The paper efficiancy drops off huge after few miles.

The ss filters flow 10 times better. Certainly its all only gg to flow at the rate ur oil pump puts out, however, that won't even happen if the paper filter clogs. Untill... That paper pos goes into bypass to relieve the excessive psi. Then that oil isn't even being filtered. With the ss flows and the fact their efficiancy doesn't drop off, this isn't an issue. Big big plus.

As far as price. They cost about $125. A k&n is about $14. So basically after 9 changes. Your in payback, on top of better filtration.

Worried about not using it completely? Don't worry, u cud resell it. Or like me, I just took them off on sale of the old bike, got lucky cause they work on the new bikes too.

Oh and I have a guy you can buy them from. I'll post his info later as well.

I keep not buying this and I'm not sure why... I guess that like OSP I don't plan to keep a bike long enough to make it worth while. Of course that's stupid considering that my last 4 or 5 bikes used the same filter!

Not to mention that it's my understanding that most Japanese bikes can use the same filter.

Ill stick with synthetic media. I find it hard to believe that metal that is used for "screening" is better at"filtering." Of course its going to flow better. It doesn't filter, it screens the oil.

I could use the material you'd find on your window screens as an air filter for my bike, but I like to take care of my bike.

I'm goig to take a guess that jets us SS filters cause they need to last and the fluid is under a ton of pressure.

I'll go out on a limb and guess that they use more than one filter...besides, comparing a jet/jet turbine against a motorcycle engine is similar to comparing my bike's engine to a steam locomotive's...not even close to an apple to apple comparison.

Noticed it's almost one-size-fits-all for sportbikes. Unless there are variations of the PCS1 that aren't clear on the website.
