Okay so here's my question, what do you guys think of these filters and have you been able to find any technical data about them?
I recently came across these filters that are manufactured primarily for power sports equipment that will fit my Yamaha street bikes, found the proper part number, but can obtain little to no information about the oil filter specifications (beta ratio, filter media, material the anti-drain back valve is made from, etc.). So I emailed them in the hopes of obtaining the information and received this reply:
"Here are the dimensions of the filter (in mm). Unfortunately we do not have detailed statistics that I can share with you. I would recommend that you visit our web site, as all of our filters are application specific and are not warrantied for off application use.
Under our catalog section you can look up your bike and find the recommended filter."
The reason I ask is because I only use Wix filters and get them for a great deal, but am able to get these filters for roughly half the cost through a friends business, BUT, I'm more than willing to pay the difference in price if the filters are sub-par to Wix. Has anyone else had any luck finding information or can vouch for the company? Here are some of their stats from their website:
"To achieve our quality aims and to ensure the consistency of our products, we use only premium materials from well known manufacturers: steel from Toyota Tsusho and NKK Japan, glue from Henkel Germany, filter paper from Ahlstrom Filtration Finland, Hollingsworth & Vose USA and Awa Paper Japan."
They've been in business since 1955 and are regularly audited and verified independently by TÜV SÜD. I've also seen them sold at Cycle Gear and many motorcycle repair shops if that says anything about their reputation.
