Title: WIX oil filters
Post by: NC Steve on April 08, 2010, 06:24:55 PM

What's the general consensus on these?

Seller has discounts for quantity, seems like a rock solid vendor, but does anyone have experience with the product?

I know that some folks don't like them.  I bought a kit of several filters from that same vendor, I believe, a year or so ago.  The filters do come with all the proper parts, and my bike hasn't blown up yet.   It is a good price compared to what the local dealers around my area get for filters.  I may look for a less expensive source online for the OEM filters after these are used up.

Bought from this vendor for both my R65s. Besides a good price and free shipping, I believe the filters to be just fine. I have heard/read good reports on the WIX units. All install components included with the "bendy" filters.

Motobins do what they claim are 100% original filter kits £8.00 for the straight filter and £9.00 for the bendy. Just filters are available at lower prices and they also do an alternative brand at even lower prices.http://www.motobins.co.uk/displayfinal.php?s=0&function=show&subs=004&title=OIL+FILTER+CHANGE+KITS&model=&bike=991
