You know I just got back from advanced auto ..... the puralator filter has a rubber seal that is not even close to the stock filter .... dang

 

Thanks

 

Anybody willing to share the brightest ideas for getting the old oil filters off........I know their no supposed to be very tight but it's a tight little spot there.....I think the cup type wrench would be the best but I haven't found one for this size filter and not even sure if there's enough room to get it in there.....Didn't mean to hijack the thread........

I got a WalMart cup style one and used a bench grinder to take the outside lip off of it.
Just slide it in a little, if you put it on too far it's even harder to get off.

WOW, that could be taken a few different ways !!!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

don't worry about the seal looking different, the pureone p14610 will work just fine on both your 500 single and your 700 twin.... this is not speculation i've been using that filter for several oil changes and have not seen any problems....

 

yeppers I did the same thing yesterday

 

taken from the oil filter test:

"One odd thing about Purolator's filters is a string that is always wrapped around the filter element. I assume that this is there to hold the element in place while the glue in the end caps cures. Of all the Purolator-based filter I tested, there was one (the ProLine) that had filter element damage from this string. Although it was one of five tested, I am weary of this design. Even though the element was crushed a bit, it was not ripped."

just in case you didn't click the link and scroll down to the Purolator section...

 

I don't know if its the same as the EFI, but I use the amsoil filter on my 700carb....6 bucks and it has a little nut on the end to put a socket on.

 

Hi there ... boy tries to find wix filters ... running my options a little thin
