Oil filters

[ehart814]

For the love of God why can’t Honda give us SPIN ON oil filters? Honda cars have them. Everyone else has them. I hate hate hate these stupid cartridge filters Honda has been using forever.

Pinched my oil filter cover oring today. First time I have ever pinched one. It’s Sunday so I obviously can’t get another one right now. So now I can’t ride on my only day off.

I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday when I serviced mine. It would make it too easy to just spin a filter on and off! Not to mention if you strip one of those little bolts out over tightening. Seems like several here have had that happen even using Hondas specs.

Be nice if someone made and aftermarket adapter

I wonder if the oil pressures required by the transmissions is affected by a spin on filter.

Possible blow out situation or, maybe flow through the filter is high enough?

It's just a "Honda thing". And with many new engines going back to the cartridge style (for the environment), I have little hope. This is also why I keep an extra lying around, even if it's a good used one.

Prob too late to help you today, but some of the better parts stores brands will come with the o rings.

For my 500, I bought spare orings just in case. Never used it. For whatever reason, I didn’t order the orings when I bought the stuff to change the 1000. Lesson learned. I’ve probably changed 100 oil filters on all sorts of Honda quads, bikes, and my 500 and this is the first time I screwed up an oring. Lol

I admit to reusing them many times. The small one 500's have around the oil passage can be tough to keep in with a new one, so rather than fight, I just let sleeping dogs lie.
