My Kawi dealer mechanic told me yesterday he as seen 3 fried Brutes come in with broken Napa Gold oil filters. He said they are designed for automobile oil pressures which the Brute far exceeds.
Even though I have been using them for 2 years I'm done and back to the purpose built Kawi filters for now.

Its SO Awesome you made this thread. I was at my local autozone and pulled this thread up on my phone to buy the only filter they had that fit my brute, the fram automotive one. I know its not as good as a purolator etc..but am happy to have the new one on here.

-----

well, am reading all the crap there is to be said about fram filters and am worried that things'll get fcked up if i keep the fram on there for more than 4 hours of riding. I think I'm gonna go ahead and change the oil again in a few hours because this stuff was BLACK that came out, and was low on oil as well. And go with a purolator filter this time. Hope this FRAM filter doesn't screw up my engine I used the Fram PH6607

Watched this guys video, already ordered a baldwin oil filter for the next change in maybe the next 2 hours of riding.

Thanks for the video link. That's good information. I might go cut open one of my purolator filter to see what's in it.
So here it is. Thick silicon like check valve, metal end caps on the element, metal tube inside the element with a cool swirl pattern, lol, and a spring washer. I think I'm doing OK in the filter dept.

----that is all---

What is the best oil filter for 12 brute 750? I'm just curious I've been running just stock brand

 

[Leelord337]

^^The baldwin isn't that bad according to that dude in the video and only 6.75 on ebay shipped

 

[crazybear]

The ph7317 will work on my 650i correct?

I don't see it in the list... do you?

 

[Coolwizard]

It is on the list under the automotive listing. It is a fram filter tho

Has anybody used the K&N KN-204 filer ?

Has anybody used the K&N KN-204 filer ?

Check previous pages. Someone posted saying its worth it. Plus k&n is a pretty trusted name.

 

[nate592]

Thx guys this info gave me the ability to go pick up a filter on Sunday when only part source and canadian tire are open :biggrin:

 

[Kingsixx]

Its been said before but I'll say it again, awesome thread here. Doing the oil and diff fluid on my 12 Brute and this saved me a ton of time. Gonna give that K&N 204 a shot because of ease of use. Again, thanks guys.

The K&N is a good filter. Much like the OE. I get better filtering out of the Puralitor PureOne. And its a little longer.

Well you were right. The Purolator is considerably bigger than the K&N. Originally I got the K&N due to the fact of its ease of use but after your comment I purchased the PureOne and when looking at them side by side, the decision was easy.

On a sidenote, does anyone have and idea what the following part is? I came across this when I was taking my water pump apart. It sits directly underneath the water pump and it had some curd/dirt in it. I couldn't find it in the shop manual. In any event, I took it apart, cleaned it up a bit and put it back. Curious to know what it is and what it does.
