Hey guys,
I looked in the Fram book at my local store and the 03 600 RR wasn't listed. I was wondering if anyone knew the number for the Fram oil filter for the 03? Thanks, Frank R.

I'll be polite. Don't use a Fram filter. Put the book down and grab a Pureolator PureONE Filter, PL14612 or PL14610 (which is a touch longer but will clear stock exhaust manifolds).

If you get the PL14610, grab the Gold colored one with the grippy stuff on the can. They even have a rebate program, you get $2 back on your purchase of 1 PureONE oil filter.

Oh look at that, a wisconsinite! ha!

wow look at that... 10k posts... holy sh*t.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the help. I always ran K&N in my 450 MXer. I went ahead and picked up the pureolater pl 14612. I will use a K&N for my next change. Thanks guys! Frank R.

i look for the one that has been recommended by people that have cut them open and looked at what is inside.

some quotes from above

amsoil-a flawed superior filter
Fram-cardboard
K&N-average filter with a 6$ nut on the end
mobil m108-nice filter media but not much of it, smaller unit (so it goes well behind headers)
Pure One PL14610- an example of fiters should be made

quotes from this one
If anything, the Fram will show you how NOT to build a high performance oil filter

The Amsoil filter internally looks very similar to the Wix filter, but they are not the same. Semi-O ring gasket, well cut threads with no apparent burrs.

honda oem
This is how a high-performance oil filter should be built.

K&N
This could be my new favorite filter

mobil 1
This is a well-constructed filter, which Mobil 1 touts as having 98% single-pass particle filtration at 10 to 20 microns, and multiple-pass efficiency of 95% (vs. 80% for the average filter).

I use nothing but OEM filters. Its just not worth trying to save a few bucks on one of the most important parts of your bike.

All filters have an excess pressure relief valve. as you engine revs and the pressure within the filter increases (due to a largeer volume of oil flowing through it), the relief valve inside the filter opens up allowing UNFILTERED oil to return to the engine. So, althogh the filter may "seem" to be working, it is not filtering any oil when the relief valve opens. you might aswell be throwing the money you spend on substandard filters in the trash can.

you do realize that the relief valve only comes on if the filter gets clogged.
the substandard filter is the honda that opens at a lower oil psi than the mobil.

even unfiltered oil is better than no oil

the mobil m108 relief valve opens when the engine oil pressure gets down to 17psi

the honda oil filter wont open until the oil pressure gets down to 8psi

do some research

Unfortunately we do not manufacture PureOne oil filters for motorcycles. We do have a separate line of motorcycle filters that are equivalent to the OE filter. Your bike will take the ML16817. The PureOne has never been tested on bikes because of the restriction of oil flow. Therefore no warranty will be provided on it.
