I purchased three or four of these in the spring of last year and changed the oil. There was no issue at all. Cross threading is the only thing that comes to mind. Depending on the engine, it is possible with one of these.

Installing it was a breeze. To begin, check to see if the engine has COOLED. The old filter should be removed. New filter should be hand tightened. After that, tighten the new filter with a wrench with the appropriate socket. Add oil. To get rid of a K N filter. Allow time for the engine to cool. A wrench, an extension, a socket, and an oil pan are all you'll need. (Recycle the used oil by collecting it. ) It does not get any simpler than that. To avoid spilling the used oil, loosen the filter enough to turn it by hand, then cover your hand, wrist, and arm with two plastic bags from Walmart, Grocery stores, or other stores, and begin unscrewing the filter. Turn the bag upside down and allow the oil to drain into the oil pan for recycling once the filter has been removed and is still in the bag. After that, recycle.
It was simple to put on with a wrench. I had to remove the OEM oil filter with a screw driver due to the OEM oil filter. This version was easy to install because it was pre-lubed. It took about 8 minutes to complete the installation process. In addition, the product appears to keep my oil in the same condition as OEM filters. It's a big plus that the installation time is saved. In addition, K N is a fantastic brand that produces high-quality goods. As a result of this product, I'm now a bigger K. N fan. This product is a no-brainer at these low prices.
For my Kymco 700i, I purchased this. It was nearly impossible to remove the factory filter. I was able to get a large channel lock on it and crack it loose that way; fortunately, the widest lock position was only about 2mm smaller when squeezed, and it provided the perfect grip and pressure. I could only move it about 1/4" because of the tight space, but it worked, lol. br>br>From now on, I'm only going to buy these; no more channel locks or oil filter straps for me. never to be repeated; )br>br>Hasn't been on my machine for very long, but so far so good, and the oil appears to be clean and great through the view window. When it comes time to replace this one, I'll update this if anything changes.
This should be read! I'm not sure if this is true for all Yamaha Phazers, but I had to unbolt (4 cap screws) the engine oil cooler and move it out of the way with one hand, while maneuvering the oil filter past the frame and the spot where the oil cooler would have been with the other. br>The reason for this, on my sled, was that the "nut" welded on the end of the oil filter made the filter too long to slip past the frame and the engine. I couldn't br>The filter then appears to be doing its job. I'll probably use an OEM filter next time because the OEM filter barely makes it past the engine and frame. br>Do yourself a favor and invest in a set of high-quality metric allen wrenches and/or allen wrenches that can be attached to the end of a socket wrench handle. The job will run much more smoothly and quickly as a result of this. To get to the oil filter, I had to remove all of the front end plastics, including the headlight assembly, airbox, and so on. Last but not least, have a backup plan in case the oil filter won't come off with your hands, as the factory assembly man has a sick sense of humour. That bugger is firmly ensconced in place! I made use of a large number of Channel-related products. Pliers with a lock on the end. Another good reason to get rid of the engine oil cooler. Best of luck!.
With the removal nut, it's even better. Why aren't more businesses doing this with oil filters? br>br>When I removed my factory installed filter from my 2013 Yamaha Nytro XTX with an oil filter wrench, it shredded. Because I couldn't get enough leverage on the OEM filter to remove it, I had to hammer it off. My engine block was nicked as a result of this. This is ridiculous on a new machine!br>br>I've done hundreds of oil changes and have never had this problem before; see the image for what this filter prevents. Please keep in mind that you should only HAND TIGHTEN your filter if you want to avoid having to use this type of filter - However, I did not use the old filter in my case. It was the factory that did it. This filter was purchased as a precautionary measure for future oil changes on my snowmobile.
Every other filter I've tried required me to remove it by tapping a screwdriver through the middle, resulting in an oily mess on my arm and the floor. Save time and money by purchasing this filter, and you'll never have to worry about a mess again. br>br>I can't comment on its performance because I haven't tried it - However, my engine continues to perform admirably, and I continue to receive 50 to 60 miles per gallon. 60 MPG.
The issue is resolved with the 17mm nut! K is not to be forgotten. The quality of N is excellent. It's the best option for power sports filters, in my opinion!.
It's a little smaller than the other filters I've purchased for my Yamaha 1300, which I bought in 2009. It's easy to service because of the nut on the end; it's difficult to know where things are made these days, but I trust K. N to promote a high-quality, dependable item.
