Bike filters are generally exposed, so having a thicker shell is a good thing, the last thing you want is a stone to get flicked up and make your day a sad one.
Absolutely.
I just got mine, glad it's thicker. 2014: "There's smoke coming off your bike!" I said "It's just WD40". Then I saw the oil squirting on the floor as it idled, the Suzuki SV650 filter had rust and leaked out a pinhole on the dome top (horizontal fit).
I'm replacing the OEM filter again due to rust after only 2 years. The filter gets caked in mud and dried grass(?) and left in a damp shed.
@@dazednconfused31337 How do you have the same filter still on your buke after 2 years? Either you didn't replace it with your required oil change, you didn't change your oil in time, or you're never riding your bike.
@@bloodymarvelous4790 perhaps he's changing it every other oil change, so 1 filter in two years.
also, perhaps he didn't reach mileage to change it....i wouldn't worry much about 2 year old oil these days...
All filters are exposed. And if your motorcycle has a radiator and exhaust headers. There isn’t any more protection than my Subaru or any vertical filter.
Hiflofiltro HF204RC... the exact brand/reference I use in my Yamaha MT07 (FZ in América). The nut at the end of the filter comes in handy to screw/unscrew the filter, and the housing seems to be a little sturdier than the regular non-RC version. For 8 bucks a piece (price in Spain), is a no brainer.
Absolutely. It's priced very well.
but the housing doesn't do any filtering now, does it?
Do you wear a helmet when riding a motorbike?@@MrAlkanet-nt9ic
@@vagabond7883 how is that related??? off course i do
@@MrAlkanet-nt9ic the housing doesn't do any filtering, but being the oil filter usually very exposed, it doesn't hurt that the canister is made of a thicker sheet of metal. Also, it reduces the chances of the filter bursting, which is uncommon, but possible.
Hiflo are quality filters always use them on my triumphs 👍 wouldn’t use anything else ps only use screw to remove filter never to tighten 👍 and ensure you remove old rubber seal when old filter is replaced ☝️
Cant beat this for 9 bucks! Glad I got some.
what material is used in the anti drain back? Rubber, neoprene, silicone...?
HIFLOFILTRO HT204RC AND HT303RC OR ALL RACING OIL FILTERS ARE RATED AT 5 MIRONS WITH 3 STAGE FILTERING!!!
This company also makes the oil filter for the Buddy 125 & 150 scooters.
Very cool. Thanks for the heads up.
no better filter for a motorcycle
Great videos! As per the Hi Flo website the RC version has a 5 micron efficiency
What % at 5 microns
@@freebehindbars8654
I will do more research
@@70GTODAN it’s ok man. I know HiFlo are as good as any out, the exact details don’t really matter.
Can you do a Pennzoil filter?
Will do.
CarsNToys they’re the standard filter for Firestone, Tires Plus, and Wheel Works stores, but theres not much information out there that I could find
Only filter I use on the motorcycle motorcycles, exactly the same as the more expensive K&N filter. I only run Wix in the auto’s, bc they are the best made and also manufacturer store brand premium lines, like Napa Gold.
I know Wix makes the NAPA Gold, but I wonder if they are made to the same standard as the Wix, or if it is a lower standard.
I see on eBay these crazy high-end filters that are worth 35 to 40 dollars, they are HKS and Blitz racing, I'm wondering why are they so expensive? 40 dollars for am oil filter is way too much.
40 bucks an oil filter is totally a ripoff. Even the original dealership sold yamaha filter won't cost more than 15 bucks.
Id like to see one cut up. You can only make them so well and at that price I'm betting its about the name.
@@Ryan-re1rs I bet you they are made by someone else and it's just rebranded stuff, like Bosch filters are just rebranded Purolator, or OEM Subaru filters are just rebranded Fram filters.
Is black Nitrile safe for use as the drainback reed valve flap? Does Nitrile rubber turn hard and brittle and cause loss of oil at startup? I know silicone is totally indestructible and doesn't turn brittle, even if you have it directly next to the engine.
Hello. I'm doing my research about oils and oil filters. Would be nice if you can give a diagnosis about AHL 204 oil filter. In their description, they state everything the other filters do. The only difference is that they're made in China and very inexpensive. Would be nice to know from someone who understands. Thanks.
Is there any internal difference between hf204 and hf204RC ?
The rc is a high flow racing model, only recommended for track use. Buy the hf204 instead
Would you be able to check out the non-racing version of the hiflo?
there is also a chrome finished version of this filter, I guess it is intended for custom bikes www.walmart.com/ip/HI-FLO-OIL-FILTER-HF204C-CHROME/33099068
I'm trying to figure out the difference as I type this
I would NEVER use a racing filter on a stock engine, because you want a stock paper filter. Only the stock paper filter media actually works to filter properly. Synthetic and other "racing" media are just a pure scam as Fort Nine showed in his review video on his channel.
@@Ritalie Nonsense.
anyone know what the torque setting is for this filter
Depends your brand and type of bike u have, check your service Manual
Hand tighten. If it leaks, just tighten it more a bit with tools, if you over tighten it, you're stripping shit.
@@Lancaster604 Yeah, don't torque this thing. Just hand tighten. The nut is for removal only.
Mine (HF 138 RC) has a leaflet, it says: use the nut only for removal, but if you must then use the manufacturer's torque/instructions. Also don't exceed 32Nm or it could damage the filter case and leak.
11 NM it says in my service manual, but hand tight is fine
Ive used hiFlo in all my bikes. Change my oil every 1500 miles. Use 15W40 wal mart diesel oil. Totally no problems. Oil breaks down quickly, and becomes contaminated. Why pay for expensive synthetics wnen they get contaminated just as fast as conventional oils? Love my bike, Love my oil. Love my HiFlo filter so much that I sleep with it under my pillow.
@`12 er6n what? I use diesel oil too. Rotella is what I buy and has worked very well for many many years. Like 10 years so far? Not sure why I should spend more on another brand when its doing what it should.
You should do a comparison with synthetic. It's well known that heat soak burns and darkens regular non-synthetic oil. When you shut off your engine, the engine is basically 400 degrees, and the oil sits and cooks in the cylinder head, and on the backs of the pistons, and the heat soaks into the oil and overheats some spots of the stagnant oil, and "cokes" the oil and makes it turn black. That's why you run synthetic, because it generally handles much higher heat without burning or evaporating. Regular oil evaporates too during heat soak, where as synthetic does not evaporate nearly as quickly. Project Farm on RUclips has the best oil reviews.
@@Ritalie Sure oil evaporates......wake your noodle up.
can you use the integrated nut to tighten the filter?
No, NO, N-O!!!
No matter what method you use to install the filter just be sure to not over do it.
Using the end nut with good judgment is perfectly fine I'd suggest.
is it true that they are bestselling
Wheres it made?
Most of the motorcycle oil filters ive seen are made in Thailand or others from S.E. Asia.
Interestingly enough, it wasn't listed on the packaging. However, their main factory is in Asia.
CarsNToys
Yeah plus putting a plastic film in transit is mostly an Asian thing.
I believe KN may be made by HiFlo...
Anti drain back valve doesn’t look like it’s synthetic.
