Originally, my American Ironhorse Texas Chopper motorcycle sold for over $30,000! Now, that it’s 10 <br />years old, it would still bring about $16,000 if I were to sell it. So, naturally I tried to baby the bike to <br />ensure its continued good operation and to maintain its value. <br />So, any time I do an oil change (which is once per season or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first), I run full <br />synthetic oil in the engine, and now use an K&N chrome oil filter. <br />------------------------------- <br />Sure, I know that everybody likes to have their own opinion on what type of oil to use in their <br />motorcycle and what type of filter to run, this is just my personal opinion. But, on my expensive custom <br />Texas Chopper motorcycle, this is the filter that I'm using because I believe it's the best filter out there! I <br />have prior to switching over to K&N used an oil filter from a major motorcycle manufacturer. Yes, the oil <br />filter was a couple of bucks cheaper than the K&N motorcycle oil filter, but the box just had the <br />manufacturer's logo on it and the motorcycle filter part number. <br />______________________ <br />I would think if you were buying a premium motorcycle oil filter, the box would have some of its <br />features listed . . . just like the K&N motorcycle oil filter box has . . . a detailed description and photos of <br />all its features. So, I'm not a scientist and I never cut one of these open or put it through some stress <br />test. But based on the K&N filter box description and features, plus the comments from various <br />motorcycle forums, I think it's the best motorcycle oil filter out there. Plus, even though it cost a couple <br />bucks more, since I change my motorcycle oil every 3000 miles or once a season, I'm really only paying a <br />couple of bucks more each year to ensure my engine is getting the best oil and filter! <br />_________________________________ <br />I have prior to switching over to K&N used an oil filter from a major motorcycle manufacturer.
