I've always changed mine every other oil change so about 6.5-7 hours...you should be good.

[KJ790]

I change my oil every 3 hours and I change the oil filter every 3rd oil change, so about every 9 hours. This has always worked for me.

Filters are cheap, I change it everytime i do an oil change,

[crf450319]

I change my filter every oil change, for $3 why not ? I change them out every 6.5 - 7 hours of MX ride time.

Same here. I always throw a fresh filter in, plus you get that little bit of old oil out also

You're asking for trouble unless you think it's OK to run a 5w-30 for two hours. But as far as filters go, you should either change it or clean it every time. Obviously, you can't clean the OEM type fiber mat ("paper") filters, but you can clean a Scotts stainless. I use a Scotts, and I freshen it up with every oil change. I also haven't bought an oil filter in over 4 years.

If you're going to insist on using Rotella, you should change it out in 2-3 hours, max. At that interval, an OEM filter should be good for two oil changes.

I get the Parts Unlimited ones and I pay about $3.00 a filter. I change mine every 3 hours along with the oil. Thats on any MX bike I've owned.

Do you have a part number for these filters at NAPA?Thanx

[ss55539]

just tell them the kn number, KN141. they probably will have to special order them in either from balkamp or keystone.

just make sure to not use the napa powersport filter. ive had the glue that holds the gasket on melt in those and start coming out, luckily it got stuck in the relief valve and didnt cause any damage but that could prove costly if it plugged a oil galley or something. i had two filters do this on my 450R and that was enough for me

[MTYZ450fMT]

Thnx

[BBrown626]

amsoil every 10 hours and clean the filter.

[MTYZ450fMT]

Tried NAPA,they couldnt find that number in any of their references,computer ect.Guess Ill find em online.

If I was gong to use a stainlees steel mesh type reuseable oil filter I would invest in a Ultasonic cleaner for the filter you be suprize what gets trapped in them.

I know first hand we use them on aircraft to make sure our filters stay clean plus if you stick your hand in the cleaner you can see all the drit come off of them also.

Oh ya I change my paper filter every oil change and clean the screen out every other oil change.
