Alright, I took the oil filter for my daughter’s car and noticed that it would fit the Valkyrie. The question is, is it a good idea? It’s bigger, so wouldn’t it “filter” more oil? What about flow? Is there a way to figure out the flow rate of a filter? It does fit, and doesn’t knock into anything. I was wondering if the fewer holes around the screw affect the amount of oil flow? The filter on the left is the one I’ve used over the years; the one on the right is the one that fits my daughter’s car, and the Valkyrie Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated. Al.   |

The Purolator PureOne filters are some of the best made. The PL14610 is the same diameter but longer than the stock filter but fits well and contains more filter media. The PureOne PL14459 is the same lengthbut fatter than the stock filter. It offers still more filter media and also fits well. Amazon has them for about 6 bucks.
The SuperTech AT7317 is also longer but same diameter as stock. It's a well built filter and less expensive than the Purolator PurOne.
+1 on don't use Fram

Sorry, I meant to mention that the SuperTech filters are sold at Walmart.

I've used the ST 7317 for 75k miles. There is a study somewhere explaining flow rates and filter media I will see if I can find it interesting reading. I think the ST 3593A is just a little smaller in capacity.

Filters are like comfort food.
Make you feel good.
Little benefit.

It is big enought to take 4 quarts of oil instead of the 3.9 recommended cooldude: Hoser |

Oil filters are of little benefit ?? Humm, interesting..
I do have quite a number of old engines that have run fine for 50+ years without filters, but, things are done to compensate..
As far as Fram filters are concerned.. My family has used them since they were first made.. Never had an issue and we installed a several a day for the 50+ years I was around the shop.. I've seen other brands have issues though..

I use Pure1 PL14459 same size as ST3593A.
filter test shows it is good down to 12 microns, most wear is caused by particulate 10 microns and smaller. This is the closest one can get without using a by-pass filter system. These facts are why Rick-D is partially right.
SAE reports indicate not changing the oil filter too often and this applies to air filters also actually increases the filtration capabilites of the filter media.
Chrylser has recomended every other oil change to replace the filter since the '70s.

You can fit the full 4 quarts in a Valk without resorting to a larger filter. Not that there's anything wrong with using one as long as it's a quality filter, but that .10 quart is not going to cause any problems.

I've been putting the full gallon in mine for years, but I also lean the bike to the right after it's done draining straight up, just to get the rest out. |

Yep, I certainly agree with that.. If the oil is drained, really drained, 4 qts is a tad short.. I lean it right and raise the front..
