Syn Filter? Y/N

No

AMSOIL does not have an Ea filter that will work with an S&S motor. I called them the other day for my 111.

Amsoil has a 134 and 135c which I use on my bike. They crossed referanced it from the k&n and harley number. The differance between the 2 are one is taller then the other.

Just a note for all you guys with 05 and newer dogs. The taller filter may interfer with the crank sensor. Don't know for sure but you just need to be aware of this.

I've been using the EaoM134c for the last 2k miles.

The EaoM 134c is to restrictive, its a 15 micron not enough oil passes through.I personally will not use it.

Proof?

These filters work as advertised. Go to Bob Is The Oil Guy and do some research.

Here's a quote from an ExxonMobil oil engineer in reference to low micron, synthetic filters and testing he's done. This is from the forums at Bob Is The Oil Guy.

"Welcome to the world of microglass/synthetic filtration medium. I upgrade industrial applications every day from cellulose to microglass: go from a 30 micron paper element filter to a 6 micron microglass. Vastly improved filtration, in the 90% reduction level, as in the EaO, AND the filter generally lasts 2 to 4 times longer than the cellulose filter it was replacing. How? Generally up to 40% of a cellulose filter element passes nothing, absolutely blocked.. Whereas the microglass or nanofiber (whatever) is 100% flowable filter. So, yes, filtering much finer, flowing much easier and lasting considerably longer, even though it is capturing 90% more particulates... Indeed, it is true......

...after having read several papers on the EaO medium in engineering publications, I had to do "real world" testing to confirm for myself the medium's efficiencies. Me, Mr. ExxonMobil, validating the performance of an Amsoil product!

I've been using them for over a year now and I'm on the 4th one. I haven't had any problems with the motor.

Cut apart an Amsoil EaOM135c or the Harley Davidson 63796-77A and take a look inside you will not want to use either one.

CC & Black Dawg...Now when you change oil do you see any noticable difference in the color and/or texture of the oil being replaced?

Do you guys use a scavenger systen when you change oil?

Chris at Amsoil indicated that if EA filter and Amsoil were use together you could change oil every other service as well...Just a thought...

I do use a scavenger and change the filter out with every oil change at 2000 miles. I do notice the oil not to be so dirty and it looks like I can probably go a few thousand more.

What filter would you recommend that I use instead? What have you used that you had good experience with?

Why? Don't leave us hanging here.

Changing Amsoil and filter every 2000 miles is extreme overkill. I plan on changing the oil at about 7500 mile intervals and that is probably overkill too. These group 4 synthetic oils and high filtration/high flow filters are proven performers.

I prefer engineering reports and factual data over just eyeballing something.

I'm in this catagory. I've been known to let my oil changes go way over the 5000 mile range numerous times.

.

I know it's overkill, but it's cheaper then a new motor and I get the stuff cheap anyway.

Why even bother? Just use a K&P
