I've been running AMSOIL 0W-40 in mine since 2003. I like the K&N filters because they are good filters and they have the "nut" on the end which makes it easier to remove.

Another satisfied Amsoil user here. I also get my Wix filters from Amsoil at a discounted price. Ordering from my armchair is the best part!

I'm not sure where else, I'm sure you can order them online, but I always get mine at Napa, there Napa Gold filters are Wix filters, and if I remember they are about $4 or $5

http://www.fleetfilter.com is the best place to buy Wix (NAPA Gold) filters. The best prices I've seen. I've had flawless orders with them in the past.

If you are an Amsoil dealer or preferred customer, Amsoil's prices on Wix filters aren't bad, but they aren't as good as Fleet Filter.

If Fleet Filter doesn't work for you, O'Reilly Auto Parts carries Wix filters or you can go to your local NAPA store and ask for NAPA Gold filters.

Hope that helps.

That is a good site, but unless they can ship them for $2, I can't hardly wait around, it's just easier to go to napa

NAPA filters are made by Wix. Wix can be purchased at most auto parts stores but you have to ask because they are not he cheapest and most folks want the cheapest (fram).

Well, I stopped in to the local L&M in Hibbing today, picked up two Fram Oil Filters for the 800 X2 and Ranger 6x6, $4 a piece, figured they got to be decent, I run them on my cars and trucks

I use the Mobil1 0w40 and the Mobil1 M110 oil filter. I have around 3K miles and over 500 hours on my Magnum 500 now with a 628 4Stroke Tech kit in her and ride her year round and there is no problems at all. The rest of the machine may be falling apart, but the engine is as strong as the day I put the kit in.
