hi flo Oil filters?
 

Hi Everyone are Hi-Flo oil filters good? seen some reasonably priced ones on Ebay at �2.75, just wondering where there made? heard a horror story of a chinese made filter giving up the ghost and wrecking someones engine. or is it better to stick with the genuine Yamaha one?

the saving between buying a �2.75 filter and an �8 genuine one won't cover the cost of an engine rebuild, is it a gamble worth taking?
genuine everytime for me and changed every 3K miles

Hi flow filters are a load of bull,
standard filters all day long for me,
If standard were no good you would see blown motors all over the place,
v-tec

I would fit nothing else but a OEM filter.

If you mean the hiflo brand in the green and black boxes, they're fine... I use them all the time... it's the brand that Race Spec sell...

Thankyou for all the advice on the filters, yes it is the green black box they say OEM to suzuki and Yamaha how true this is i dunno?

I've used them for years on numerous Suzuki DR's with no issues upto 80k miles.
I currently use Champion on my Ten (X302 - IIRC) which are readily available at Halfords.

Cheers,

I will not be surprise if Hiflo makes the filters for several manufacturers

i used hiflo - and still use them, no problems at all. i change the filter and the oil every 2000-2500 miles. i guess everyone's got different opinions, and yes, i used hiflo on different type of bikes
