What oil filter do you guys use? I read on a link where a purolator pure one was the absolute best oil filter out there as far as the filtering part. But since then purolator has issued a statement saying you should not use a pure one on a motorcycle or ATV because the oil pump on those engines may not be strong enough to pump the oil thru the filter because of the denseness of the filter, but instead to use their oil filters made specifically for motorcycles and atv's. The tester basically said that this was just purolator's way of just getting you to buy their "higher profit" oil filters which are made in china. I have a polaris filter on now and was going to go with the pure one but now I'm not sure. I want the best filter that I can get, which is according to the test, was the pure one, but don't want to take a chance either. Using Amsoil oil, may just go with their filter instead.

When it comes to filters and such...I usually stick with OEM. Just my .02

I've seen alot of oil filters cut apart.Wix filters and the polaris filters are the only two I will use.

 

The Mobil 1 M1-110 works well for my 2007 500X2. It has more square inches of filter paper than most filters......read that somewhere. It does seem to keep the oil cleaner between changes than the stock oil filter.

 

Wix here!

 

4-500s take a wix #51358 6-7 and 800s take a wix 51357

 

I use the NAPA gold & Mobil 1.

 

I've used Emgo and Purolator in the past. I know the last ones I bought were from Pep Boys, not sure, but I want to say they were Purolators too. I do remember them being just over 6 bucks each.

 

Amsoil filters & oil , Polaris fluids for front diff and rear tranny stock breather .

 

While doing the first oil change on my 2007 X2, I noticed a metallic 'sludge' in the bottom of the oil tank. I used an OEM filter for that first oil change. At the second oil change, I noticed the same 'sludge'. I replaced the OEM filter with a Mobil 1 (M1-110) and even used Mobil 1 oil. Last oil change - no 'sludge'. I don't run OEM filters (air or oil) on anything that I own. There are tons of more efficient filters out there. As far as which one is best, I think that's personal opinion.
