Reasonably Priced Oil Filters
Originally posted by: KSmicrorancher
The 400 & 500 have the same engine block so both use the same filters, at least that is the case for the year 2000 models. I've used the NAPA & STP filters with no problems. But prefer the STP because the NAPA doesn't have the bypass valve built in should the filter become clogged. But I guess changing the oil so often makes clogging unlikely. I've also been using Mobil 1 10w30 since the first two oil changes. The cat just rolled over 2000 miles last week. No problems except the plastic housing around the gear indicator lights cracked where the brake cable and wire bundle from the LH handleber had it in a bind.

The Bypass is the weak link in a FRAM... Racers prefer no bypass since oil filter NEVER get clogged and bypass's do weaken easily...
