FZ1 Oil Filter on FJR

[Fly Bye]

quick spritz with a black or blue rattle can takes care of the white color...

Yup, line them up and give that rattle can a work out.

I just spin it on. So long as it isn't pink, I don't care.

+1 - I like the white just fine. I might paint the puke yellow Pure One filters, or maybe just leave it as a sign of my incredible intellect at using a superior filter at the same (or lower) price.

Just paint a smilie on the end of the yellow one. It should look like this when finished

Ahh, I was expecting a picture of your oil filter with the smiley on it.

Sorry, but mine's got a Wix on it -- a black Wix.

Damn, That looks alot like the one in my garage.

by the way, that yellow beauty fits my 2006 Subaru and 2009 Accord too. Nice to only stock 1 filter type for 3 vehicles.

I'm sure someone will be along waving their arms in the air. DANGER DANGER ......

A non-OEM filter AND a car tire?!

Well at least they'll find you and your oil fueled signal fire.

When the owners manual changed the oil weight from 20/40 to 10/40 they were able to shorten up the filter to accommodate the new oil weight

Well, that's not logical. 20w40 would be heavier, so it should require less -- thus a shorter filter.

I'm not sure there is anything logical to be concluded from that...

All I know is I cheat the oil specs at both ends and use 15W50 (Mo-Bile 1 cah earl). And... I run it 5k per change, and only change the filter every other time.

I'm expecting to die in a fiery ball of death pretty much any moment now.

Fred, you know better than that.....first of all the correct description is "fiery ball of plastic and aluminum death" and secondly, it ONLY involves Darksiding!
