Where can I get oil filters?

[Grassfirebob]

Is there a FRAM filter or some other such filter that I can use? Anyone have a part number?

I thought I'd just pick up a filter from an auto parts store if possible.

I don't have a dealer near me and after our maiden voyage we have 335 miles on the RX-1's. I want to go ahead and change the oil and filters.


Thanks!

Get a Wix or Napa filter. Fram is one of the worst filters. I don't have part numbers.

Thanks ImpalaPower. I can't find the # on wixfilters.com nor on fram.com. Hopefully someone will post a part#. Worse case, I drive 25 miles to my nearest Yamaha dealer and get an "officlal" Yamaha filter :-(


BTW, I just sold a really nice '65 Impala on ebay. Since you're into Impala's... thought you might be interested:

51358 is the Wix number, just found it posted here. The '65 Impala is the ticket. Drove a '65 SS with a 409 4 spd. Super car, with lots of torque.

Napa Gold series filters are also made by WIC and their part number is the same as WIC's but without the first digit (ie. 1358). Just picked one up at my local Napa shop this weekend. I believe it was around $8.

There was a post on this some time back.

Here are the after market filters:

Yamaha 5GH-13440-00
K & N KN303
AC Delco PF1237 $ 5.68
Hastings LF113
Wix 51358

Hope this helps
