Title: Oil Filter change
Post by: MORAPTOR700 on September 27, 2009, 06:44:04 PM
How often do you guys change out your oil filter. I know it going to vary. I mostly trail ride with the kids and really don't run it very hard. I'm not opposed to changing it every time but I thought I read somewhere on here that people change it every other time. Thanks for you input.

I like to change mine about every 10-12 hours of run time.

I change my oil every so often. I'd guess 20ish hours on it.

Also change the filter every time.

I change the filter each time I change the oil: once at the beginning of spring and once mid-summer. I use OEM filters and Yamalube.
I ride throughout the year in the Pacific Northwest so am in every climate there is.

I change my oil after every ride and my filter every other ride, but I have been changing my filter too every time on the last few changes. I think I'm going to start changing out both every time from here on out. I buy tusk filters and ebay filters at about 20 at a time and I order the plug washers too. They get changed every time as well. Doesn't matter if I do a 5 hour weekend or a 25 hour weekend it gets changed before every outting. $10 security ain't shit vs $1000-2000 repair build. I know...... I'm anal. :thumbs:
