Yamaha Oil Filter - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

Well, When my first oil change came about, i purchased the yamaha oil filter....just to notice that it is made by denso. The same company that makes the mazda filters as well as others that fit various applications. Seeings how i work for a dealership, i crossed the yamaha number to a mazda number of B6Y1-14-302-9A. This filter is a bit heavier, contructed better than the yamaha one. SAME SIZE, BETTER FILTER.

Just in case anybody can or wants to get a filter cheaper than the yamaha dealership.

Skip the Yamaha filter, get a Purolator PureOne, i forget the actual number, it's on the forum somewhere. Better filter, $5 or so at most auto parts stores.

Pure One filter = PL 14612 for the OEM replacement or PL14610 for the larger one.

The first thing I am gong to ask is why it is a better filter? Does it filter at a level beyond that of the Yamaha filter? Is the element constructed of a material that is better than that of the Yamaha filter? Granted, they may both be made by Denso but without knowing the specs on the individual filter it's tuff to say one is any better than the other.

Here is a thread with a list of filters that fit:

http://www.fz6-forum.com/forum/fz6-t...-will-fit.html

I just did my 4000 mile service and put the Mobil 1-110 filter on, it is a little longer and will be easier to get off than the Yamaha filter. I know it shows not needing a filter change at the 4000 mile service, but I bought the bike used and just went ahead and replaced it with the oil change.

I have ask this before without any replies. Why does the 07 & 08 use a different filter than the 06 and earlier?
The pure one everyone recommends has a bypass valve.
the filter for the 07 and 08 is a different filter without a bypass.
look it up on the K&N site. Autozone has them for $15

I guess it depends on how you look at it. I don't run a bypass filter on the bikes because I change the oil well under any reasonable time frame (1,500 miles) and it's never allowed to get anywhere near dirty enough to need the bypass in the first place.

I dont get what your asking man.

The bypass valve is a wonderful idea. If the filter becomes so cloged that there is a pressure drop across it exceeding if I remember right 8-12lbs of pressure it opens and keeps oil flowing to the engine.

Nonbypass filters can starve a engine for oil. Giving the choice between unfiltered oil, and no oil, I will choose unfiltered oil.

Is this what you were asking. If not let me know.
