Kawasaki Oil Filter 16097-0008

I'm concerned because it came in a plastic bubble sleeve, so order 4 to get it boxed. Whether it's cellulose, enhanced cellulose, or fiberglass, it was designed to last a year with synthetic oil, according to what a dealer or a kawasaki website told me, I can't remember who, but as long as you don't go over the mileage interval, you should be fine. I'm going to send oil samples to a lab out of curiosity, and if I ever make a video, I'll try to remember to link back to this page. In fact, while it isn't ideal for traditional use, especially if you live in a harsh climate, you could probably get away with it. I wouldn't risk it, despite the fact that I believe it's a very remote possibility. Because I travel for work, my bike sits more than I'd like, which is why I'm concerned about synthetic oil and filters. You don't want a filter or oil to degrade, releasing corrosives or fragments of itself. Clean oil, on the other hand, can be left to sit for quite some time. My car can get by with 3k conventional oil once a year, but now that I've rebuilt the engine, it'll be synthetic. Even with conventional fuel, the engine was in perfect condition due to a mechanic not bolting an exhaust nut to which an exhaust leak melted my valves. Other companies have some interesting filter models that are practically equivalent to my car and bike, but I was unable to obtain the information I required. It's possible that it's the same design as my Nissan filter, just with a different brand and/or manufacturer. Also, perhaps an improvement in filter medium so that it can be used all year without changing. I'm going to open up a couple of filters. It should have a pressure relief valve as well as an anti-drainback valve. You may be able to get a high micron filtration when going after market, but if there is a flow restriction as a result of it, or if the pressure relief valve is overly or underly sensitive, it will be far worse for your engine; for all I know, the kawasaki may have a great micron rating. I looked at one aftermarket filter that had a micron rating of 20, which is great because most engine parts are polished at 23 microns, and most filters do 30 to 50 microns, with the average being around 40 microns. Smaller particles appear to cause the most damage in studies, though I'm not sure if this is because most of the larger particles are filtered out, leaving only the smaller particles to cause harm. So, while the aftermarket guarantees 20 micron filtration and then I can use a magnet and healthy fluid intervals to protect against smaller stuff, risking the restriction of the flow rate isn't my idea of smart and doesn't add peace of mind even if the risk is small, it's not my idea of smart and doesn't add peace of mind. Staying in the stock market poses a greater risk to your longevity than staying in the stock market. Now, one aftermarket I looked at had a higher end synthetic media for towing on my vehicle to allow for the higher flow rate and synthetic, but it didn't specify microns, which is why I'd get off stock to potentially improve filtration, but since I don't know the stock micron rating or the aftermarket oil flow, there's no peace of mind gained in the risk because I couldn't be certain of any improvements. And I really wanted to switch to synthetic aftermarket filters so that I could only have to store one filter type for both my car and my bike, but there simply isn't enough data by aftermarket, and there isn't any data for stock parts. An aftermarket filter would probably work for years before causing any problems, which is unlikely, but I know from personal experience that stock filters and frequent fluid changes have kept the guts of my Nissan engine in pristine condition for over 200k miles, even on conventional oil. Apart from marketing hype, aftermarkets provide no guarantees or substantial data on improvement gains, so there is no measurable benefit. You'd think they'd know their own specifications and be interested in selling, but they're either being lazy or concealing something, so I don't do business with them unless they become the only option or a stock issue arises. If you can't trust a stock filter, you should question the manufacturer's quality of your vehicle, because if they don't care about your engine, they don't care about anything else about your vehicle and are only interested in your wallet. br>Disappointed that Kawasaki hasn't posted filter specs to show people why they're great, unless they're doing the basics for filters, which isn't bad but disappointing, but people are stepping up their care for toys like bikes, and some guys only get one before their wives say no more. If Kawaski produced a performance filter, it would be purchased and used on vehicles other than Kawasaki. I chose the Vulcan 650 in the hopes of having parts available well into my senior years, as well as the fact that Kawasaki makes specs available if you have a specific problem or live in an area with bad mechanics, but their shops are generally good. Not always, as evidenced by a friend in Nebraska who had bad ports on his high-end racing Ninja, which was rebuilt only to be destroyed again, costing him a lot of money. (You failed a loyalist of many years, Kawasaki. ) That was his last Kawasaki. ) Now, it's possible that Kawaski has the engine's flow rate listed in the service manual but hasn't found it yet. Furthermore, if they had specifications on their standard filters and created a performance filter with specifications, they could have made money for minor improvements. Finally, if their coolant isn't available, happy Kawaski provided a generic coolant for their bike. However, neither their coolant nor the specifications in their bottle were included in the fsm. Ethanol from hogs vs. ethylene glycol from cows, and so on. I'm not going to get into that in this filter review. br>br>In short-term storage, unless flow rate, microns, valve relief pressure, and other parameters can be verified. One less thing to be concerned about when it comes to your engine's stock.

It's extremely simple to set up. Sturdy and lightweight. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this product. Wish it had knobs/groves for easier removalbr>br>I'll update after a few months of use to see if it holds up to expectations in terms of durability.

Thank you very much! This filter is compatible with my 2006-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Kawi Ninja650 (2008 model).

This filter is designed to work with the 2009 ER6-based vehicle. n and is a factory-supplied alternative. Because they don't have a nut on the end like the K, you'll need a strap wrench to remove them. There is an N version. I've used these for a long time and have never had a problem with the quality.

What can I say about an oil filter other than it's a good deal and fits perfectly?.
