hey guys who own raptor 660's
what kind of oil filter can i get. i reallly don't want to spend $15.00 for a yamaha oil filter. how can i get buy without spending that kind of money. i heard a bosch 3300 from auto zone will work. is this true what's your opinion. i like to change the oil on my machines at least three times a year or when needed. if i can get by with a cheaper version,,,,, that's as good or better it would be great. i would have more money for other things????
i also use 20/40 castrol motorcycle oil, non synthetic,,,,,,all year long in south east mo./bonne terre i used it in my warrior with no problems. that stuff is $1.50 a quart at wal-mart,,,,, please help?? that twenty hour mantenance check is coming up on my new machine

a ds/bs bombardier as soon as i see one out at st.joe

 

What color is your quad? Bosch 3300 (black) is what I use on my black and white Rappy and the STP 6607 (blue) is what I use on my blue Rappy. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

cool,,,,,i got a blue 660 raptor

 

hey thanks for replying so fast,,,,you have helped me. i like your pics,,,,,,you have some neat places to ride at. if i ever get a digital camera ill have to post some of my trails i ride at.,,,,,,,we got sand but not like where you are. the sand i got is chat,, which is sand that has been dug up from the mines and put in areas where we ride.

 

just some other ideas..

Wix - makes a filter you can get for about 6 bucks, i can get the number if you need
Hastings - great filter, its white part number lf113 get them for between 4-5 bucks (also white)
fram - makes one that is orangeish red, can also get that number but runs about 7 bucks

 

i use fram
ph6207 (i think)

 

sounds right

 

I use WIX oil filters.

Part number: 51358

I would change it more than 3 times a year, maybe like 24-30 times a year. I usually change the oil every 2-3 good rides = 8-12hrs of hard riding.

I do as well....you can't change your oil enough. I have used the Bosch 3300 for a long time and I am happy with it's service. There is a ton of bad info on the net about the Fram filter for the Raptor. I will try too dig that back up.
