Anyone have any luck with: Oversize Oil Filters (like off of a Twin Cam) OR Synthetic Oils |

Dyna filters spin right on. I use one when I think about it when I am at the dealer when I buy one. There are at least a hundred Oil threads. No one has ever said Synthetic oil is bad just some of us question its need. |

"i" run the equivalent of a FORD MOTORCRAFT FL-1A in the OEM OIL FILTER location(paint it any color you want)... RUN a return line oil which is a FORD MOTORCRAFT FL836 ... Run HARLEY-DAVIDSON SYC3 oil in both engine and transmission ... Have 111,819.6 mile on bike as of the last ride, just PM me if you have questions ... |

That's a good innings Buelistic well done! i use the old Evo big twin filter they are about twice length but think what you use would hold more again. |

I too use the Dyna filters on all our tubers, have from day one and also use Synth oil. Usually Mobile One V-Twin. I use it because of it's higher break down temp, much better than straight dino juice. Important for air cooled motors that tend to get REALLY hot sitting in traffic. |

I used the Dyna long ones, and Mobil 1 as well. Sometimes cheaper than short ones. Then I found out its the same filter as my Ford Ranger 3.0. Even cheaper, and like Buellistic said comes in colors... |

I go to any auto parts store and buy one that will fit a Ford Escort. The specs on the bypass valve are the same(according to the wix filter website) and there is usually a good assortment of brands to choose from. |

I've run the FL-1A since 2002 on the advice of Cyclone Charlie. No additional anythings and no problems. Somewhere around 83K miles. |

FL-1A works great, but it can spin off due to the extra weight, so throw a hose clamp on there. |
