Oil filters..now that's another story
*edit ..technically no one on this forum has reported having an engine failure because of any brand of oil filter..although one had the potential to do so.

Oil filtersit is another story when its impossible to find out which filter number I need. I have choice of two makes near me Champion which has poor reviews or Hiflofiltro which are good it seems but I can not find out which I need. On the HI flo website If I put my reg number in it comes back (can not be found) or if I go through bike details .. honda, cb 1100 it comes back with cb500 for some reason.
Its times like this when I miss my local Honda dealer.
You can find a poor review about absolutely anything online. I used champion as it was the handiest to pick up. Is it better or worse than an OEM filter, I haven't got a clue but it will be good enough. Enough reputable on-line sellers sell the Champion product, if it was a poor product causing problems the industry would soon highlight it and drop the thing.
