Which oil filter do you use?
 

There are many to choose from, so which one do you use and why?

As always, if yours is not listed post it and I will amend the poll to include it.

I use the Bosch 3401 based on an article by Marc H. in the current newsletter.

Re: Which oil filter do you use?
 

I tried the bosch had more chain rattleand oil pressure was alot less when warm. I had the same prob. with the mobil one. don't know why? but I put on a napa gold and no chain rattle and the oil pressure to 3/4 instead of 1/2. would love to find out why.

Jon that is intresting I use a Mobil1 and my Pressure is around 3/4 and I was thinking it might be a little high (but I guess not) and I don't think I have any chain rattle. I am thinking about going with a Bosch though next time I change the oil. anyone esle have an opinion on this?

I have been using Mobil 1 filters for over three years with no chain rattle. In view of Marc's article I may try the Bosch the next time I change oil.

I too use the Bosch based on the article by Marc H. on his web site.

Was using Mobile, actually purchased a case of them If anyone wants to buy them I'll sell them cheap. Pm me. The reason for the change is poor performance:thumbsdo: . I did a test took of the filter let it sit over night all the oil drained out. To confirm this I cut open the and all the was gone[-X .
I had some cam chain rattle that I never had before.:icon_scra New batch of filters? I put on the Bosch filter changed the oil. No rattle, higher oil pressure;) . I took off the filter did the same test oil remained in the filter as it was suppose to:thumbsup: . Did some further reasearch I found the mobile1 filter is actually made by Champion. That explains that....
Use what you will as this is only my opinion and observations I made.

Ray, which M1's? The old grey ones or the new black ones?

Re: Which oil filter do you use?
 

I do not want to influence the poll but I must ask this question. For those of you using the Mobil 1 filter that are not having any chain rattle, why would you want to switch to Bosch?
Granted I also read the article by Marc, and while I respect his knowledge and advice, I have used a Mobil 1 without any problems. As I recall it was rated as one of the best for filtration with it's synthetic media.

Ray, just an FYI. Bosch is also made by Champion Labs.
