I was out riding and decided to go by the local Triumph dealership and pick up a Triumph oil filter for my 06 America. I couldn't believe the price. For the oil filter, oil plug gasket, and tax came to $22.55. It's time to find an alternative oil filter. Any suggestions?
'06 America, Raask foot controls, the bike use to be Graphite and Silver, now its Red and Black.

I'm not a Oem only guy but be warned there have been issues with aftermarket filters recently. Several brands have changed the fitment to a convex style at it will not seal. I was a puralator guy for ever, tath one also was changed.Additionally the K & N nut was blowing off and causing complete loss of oil. Now some will tell you the K & N was a one time thing and has been addressed. That is not true, either they do not know or have forgotten KN had the same issue years ago. Just a heads up.

I usually use NAPA Gold, there was a page where filters were torn down and tested for surface area and filtration. Mobil was not one of the better ones. I used to use Super Tech but they haven't had it lately, very good filter and about $4. If I remember right it was made by Wix.

It's in the vault but I'll look after work and post it. ( used to be a whole list of filters in the vault but be careful, I think Puralator changed the design and won't work now.)
