Not sure why Harley can't put this nut on their filters, or maybe an inward 1/2" driver hole. Anyway, it makes yanking this thing off much easier because the strap wrench or the Harley-style filter wrench doesn't let you get your hand in there to manage the filter and all the oil that pours out after it comes loose. This helps me ensure a clean oil change... as clean as it can be. Not sure why they chose 17mm for the bolt size, but whatever. What I wasn't excited about was that, at least for me, the black paint seemed to not be "as black" as the Harley filter, or it may have faded or been affected negatively by road salt or something. It wasn't gray or anything, it just wasn't as black as the Harley filter I replaced it with (because I couldn't wait for shipping from Amazon.com). Not a big deal... it's still black. Just not... as black.

Why pay the dealer's exorbitant rate when this little filter twists off easily with a small adjustable wrench, found in nearly every household?

Remember: Harley-Davidson found that the standard 5 micron filter was too restrictive on the XR1200 engine because the XR has twice the oil pressure of the regular XL Sportster. Don't buy a regular Sportster filter for your XR1200 or XR1200X!

KN-171B is Black

KN-171C is Chrome (The XR1200 is *not* a Chrome motorcycle, unless your screen name is magicrat)

And, of course, be sure to swing by the XR1200 Owners Group (Google it, since I can't post a link), and tell them JoeP sent ya!

Anyone who has fought with the oil filter wrench on a Harley filter knows that the little nut on top of this filter makes it so much easier. I have noticed no difference in operating temperatures, etc.. on the bike in the last few oil changes using these filters and combined with the "Ernst Manufacturing Drip-Free Oil Filter Funnel" my oil changes are spotless.

The title of this review almost says it all. I've read extensively about oil filter construction and performance, and this has consistently been one of the top-rated filters by sources I trust as not being biased or misguided in what makes for a good oil filter. Yes, they are expensive (as are the Mobil 1 and Amsoil), but you get what you pay for. If you have a precious/collectable engine to protect, don't skimp here. The price from Amazon, plus qualifying for no shipping fees, made them the place to make this purchaseI ordered several to qualify, but they'll get used, so it was money in the bank.

The best build quality + filtering, plus the 1" "wrench off" feature makes this my favorite without exception.

There are various other high quality oil filters; however, at the very reasonable price here, I just buy this one.

Runner-ups for those feeling extremely price sensitive are non-wrench-off K&N filters, or Mann filters (for VW/Audi at least).

Had meineke install in when they did an oil change on my 17 year old car and i don't notice a difference in power but i am also confident it is cleaning the oil inside the engine better than a stock OEM lousy replacement...

I've just did the service of the car and I changed the old, regular oil filter, let's see if this is better than the other... Besides that, it looks like an excellent product, like any other K&N part. Great price, fast shipping!

This is a well made top quality filter. It also fits my Chrysler mini-van engine. I've been using it for many years for my oil changes. 120K miles and still going strong. Out of all the filters on the shelf, it's the least expensive. The secret is now out!!

I try and always use the Motorcraft filters for my 65 Mustang and am very satisfied! Will continue using as long as I own the car!

I have reviewed 108 books on the Amazon website, per Amazon count. So now they are bugging me to review an oil filter! I ordered it from Amazon because we are living in Haiti and that is the best way to get it delivered.. It works great, just as you might expect a Motocraft filter to work on a Ford. Now maybe the filter will disappear from my Amazon to do list.

My husband has a Hesston 44-45 tractor and couldn't find a filter at local retailers. I found this one at a good price. He was pleased. It DOES have the anti-drainback valve.

I had this filter on a Long tractor model 510. I got long service life from it since it had been on the tractor for a few years. I certainly don't recommend leaving it in service for that long a time, but circumstances beyond my control dictated this. All in all, it did its job effectively. This filter is meant to have a longer change interval so I pushed it to it's limits. I would not hesitate to put this filter on my tractor again. I couldn't find this filter locally so I had to go with another brand. Should have checked Amazon first I guess.
