Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)So, I'm not a mechanic though I do my own work whenever feasible. This worked great on my Victory 2007 Hammer S. One thing in particular I liked was that it has a nut on the end of the filter. Working under the bike it was easier to tighten with socket/ratchet and came in REALLY handy since I could not find my stupid oil wrench. Plus you can tighten to torque with socket and ratchet too. The filter fit perfectly with no leaks (I checked multiple times including placing paper towels under bike to see even slightest drip).
Prior to performing my first oil change on this bike, I was having problems with my bike stalling with oil light due to overheating... this was fault of previous owner (and perhaps mine for not doing oil change immediately after purchasing bike), but I mention it to give you a baseline. I switched to this filter and Mobil V-twin 20W-50 Synthetic (Amazon had a great price with free S&H on oil too). I'm in AZ desert where its been over 100 degrees (again, context). I then ran the bike hard several mornings, plus a day trip up to Show Low (through Payson) and back. This is going from 1500 ft to over 7600 and back... zero problems. My oil temps stayed steady and the engine ran great. I also got a little bit better mileage.
Now, I'm not saying this oil filter fixed my problems or improved my mileage... that was due to previous oil levels and type versus correct levels and type... however I think my situation and experience demonstrates a 'real' test and it performed well. I'm happy I bought this filter and I've always been happy with K&N products.
