Purolator Oil Filter

[dpaul007]

Finally got to put on a purolator oil filter on my bike. I have black spray paint, but thought I'd put it on without painting it to see how it looks. To be honest, I kind of like it! Even the girlfriend thinks it's cool :rockon:

Nice -

What'd you do with your tire hugger?

I wish they hadn't screwed with the filters. They used to be the perfect blue to match.

I removed it when I worked on the rear of the bike and never put it back on. I like the look of it off. Granted things get a bit dirtier, but it's just crap the tire flings off. I don't get any fling off from my chain.

Its the perfect smiley face yellow. After a little bit it gets ugly.

I always paint mine black. They use to come in Blue so there was no need to paint them in the past, since it matched my bike.

Here's my latest. Time for another one.

I'm liking these creative ideas

It needs black paint. The gold looks bad.:thumbup:

2009 called, they want their filter back.

Hahahaha, nice!!!!

OP, the Purolator Synthetic filters are blue and a perfect match to the Yamaha blue. We don't get the PureOne's in Canada, so when I run out, I use the Synthetics that we do get.

I've never heard about these... Just a quick search and I'm seeing they are about twice as expensive though

They ran about $12 at WalMart here which is ok as we don't get the cheap PureOne's, the OEM's that I used to run cost me $16

I like the smiley face idea. I will be doing that next oil change with an EEK3 smiley.

Missed a couple posts of oil change art, riding gets in the way, but here's today's last minute oil change creation before heading to UT, WY, ID in the morn.

Do anyone know Purolator's part number?

 

[Project84]

I need this same info - wanting to change the oil tonight before a long weekend out riding!

Thanks

The Pure One is PL14610 (PL14612 also works but the 14610 has more filter capacity).

 

[Project84]

Thanks.

The oil change is straight forward? No tricks or weird tasks involved? Drain, remove filter, install new filter, put drain plug back in, fill w/ oil?


I have owned several bikes and never had one that was that straight forward, hoping that's it. lol My KTM takes almost 2 hours to do an oil change!

The most time-consuming part of an oil change on the '6 is cleaning up. Takes about 10 minutes not including that part...
