oil filter - alternative

2nd K&N kn204 filter. The easiest to get off with the socket wrench head on it plus good name in filter products.

I am with you and Veech on that.

Cheers

I know the op wants a review on the Bosch filter but any particular reason that filter, doesn't seem like one of the regular or popular choices. None of them are really too expensive and changing it one or twice, maybe even three times a year shouldn't break the bank. I think I pay about 12.00 for my k&n filter.

Autozone is 2 blocks from my house and they carry the bosch 3300--convenience because I usually change my oil at least twice a year and I've been happy with Bosch on my other bikes as an aftermarket filter.

So let me rephrase my original question---anyone know if the bosch 3300 is a viable subsititute for the OEM filter?

$12 isn't too much. Maybe I'll stop rinsing mine out with gasoline and reusing them.

I used the Bosch filter on my 2001 F4i for 92000 miles with out any problems but experienced oil seepage past the rubber seal on the Bosch filter on my CB. I bought a Honda filter to compare and found that the seal on the Honda filter was of a much better quality. No more oil seepage. Bosch must have down graded their filter specs.

Interesting. Seems the oil filters for the bike are the same as my Nissan Maxima. That's convenient!

I did a search and only found one post so I'd like a second opinion....

Anyone using the bosch 3300 oil filter?

Yes, I used this filter on my 2001 cbr F4i for almost all of its 92,000 miles with no problem.
It leaked badly on my CB 1100. Tried a couple of them but same problem. Weeping around the seal. Bought a Honda oil filter and the seal is much larger and does not leak.

You meant "Honda" filter, I know.

Yup. We be "weeping" too if we don't use the Honda filter!
And it matches my black paint; We must keep up appearances, mustn't we.

Shall we discuss fork braces? I have three on my bike cause I like the custom look.

Novice, with talk like that there's a better than even chance that in your previous life you rode a KLR 650 or Guzzi.
