Does anyone know of an aftermarket oil filter that will fit my 99 Polaris Sportsman 500? It would be alot more convenient to go to a local parts house to get one instead of the dealership. Thanks in advance.

 

Search for my topic called ..Oil Filter cross reference.
Thanks to some forum usres I had a Fram part number and crossed it to some other brands

If someone would show me how to do a link to that page I would write it down, this question comes up alot.

OK.. I'm probably going to get shot here.... But I personally wouldn't use a Fram filter on anything.
I have taken apart identical Fram, Wix, Motorcraft, and AC Delco filters to compare quality. Fram fails miserably.. They have very few pleats when compared to all the others (which is less filtering area) The end caps of the filter media are made of VERY thin paper that after 500 hrs. on a Case 207 engine had broken down and put the filter in bypass mode...
I'm going to have to cut open a Polaris filter (used) and see how many it has in it.. and its construction.

 

thanks prospector, lets see if it works
