dilligaf said:Yamalube and yami filter $45.25. That really hurts I guess.
I'm out till fall. Enjoy!
But would you pay double that if you lived up here in Canada, especially knowing the oil and filters are nothing special or unique but just plain run of the mill products?

I agree to this, way overpriced.

I would just like to know what filter I can use so I don't have to drive 160 miles round trip to pick up a filter from Yami.
I run 0-40 amsoil full synthetic! I can pick it up localy! If I could pick up a filter at Napa for my sled I would be happy. Even happier if I can get the same or better quality for less money.
Some of you remind me of Harley riders who have to use Harley oil for the bikes. Pay more for the brand! I mean it must be the best right!

Napa gold # 1358, made by WIX for Napa. Paid $20 for it, the previous one's I purchased from NAPA were like $6 each, but they weren't the gold series.

Sasquatch, try a motorcycle/sled shop/similar dealer and see if they carry or can get Hi-Flo filters?
I get mine at a private Motorcycle repair shop for $10 bucks each, and he sells a pile of them to motorcycle and atv riders and has for years now.
Try a dealer search through hi-flo as well, you might see something there?

I used to be a oil freak and change out all the time at 3K or less new filter etc. Its just a plain waste of money but if you need it to feel good do it.
I never change my oil filter on my SC sled its there it sees zero dust, the oil is almost as clean coming out when it goes in. I do change oil annually but even debating on leaving that for 2-3 years. Oil debates are funny you can always go back to "10 million dollar engine spend the $100" but I am starting to believe there is no point! My truck I go 15,000 miles on non synthetic per the manfs reccomendations of which they must be conservative and people get shivers in the spine, I put 700 miles on some amsoil synthetic snwomobile oil and I should dump it every YEAR regardless?
Each to thier own, till i blow a engine from poor oil change process I am leaning towards just leaving it and not even messing with it anymore.

This filter is too long. Will not fit the newer body Vectors
That is for an apex not a vector. Couldn't list them
all. 11.12 for the 2011 vector filter.

If you look at the first tread, it was started for the Vectors only, but thank's for that information.
