Oil filter ?

I think I have been using the wrong K&N oil filter!

I have a KN-303 installed now. It is supposed to cross reference with Polaris filters.

I went to order another one on ebay and discovered that it should be a KN-198!

Have I any harm by using the wrong one??

As long as it threads on properly, and seals properly, you shouldn't have any issues. I personally prefer a longer filter for more volume, but I don't have any data to back up that claim, it's just what I like.

You are correct. At least from everything I have researched, and just plain ole common sense. Longer filter means more media, so more filter area. A tick more oil, which aint no biggy and would be negligibly on really any extra cooling.

I'm sure its fine, as long as it wasn't leaking oil. The only difference is a slight diameter and length increase.

KN 198 VS N -303

Height 3.313 in (84 mm)
Code:
3.344 in (85 mm)
Outside Diameter 2.563 in (65 mm) 2.688 in (68 mm)
Thread Specification M20 x 1.5 M20 x 1.5
Weight 0.6 lb (0.2 kg) 0.6 lb (0.3 kg

No leaks.
Screws right on and fits like it would be the right one...
I was shocked to realize I'd been using the wrong one.

Not on Vic site, it's not a Victory product. I have a Bosch 32xx something on there now, and just bought a Bosch 3233 to replace it with. Was like $7 at autozone

K&N

FWIW The K&N-198 oil filter isn't made by K&N it's made by HI-FLO same number HF-198. Just doesn't have the nut on top, also about half the price.

I have the K&N on my bike now, but going to use the HI-FLO next.

VJ, you didn't watch that video before posting. View it and correct your list. There are very few on that list I'd recommend anyone use.

Hi all, i run a honda filter on my CCT

HAMP H1540-PLC-003 (6 U$D)

So I did a oil pressure test before

RedLine 15W40 & K&N filter (28 U$D) filter = 80/90 PSI

LIQUI MOLY 10W50 & HEMP filter = 80/90 PSI

Ride on brothers

K&N surly made in China, but maybe the HONDA filter made in Japan ?

Heck I was digging through my stash of filters looking for a filter for the tractor when I found a Bosch Premium 3323 that went to an old Honda we had. I cross referenced that sucker and sure enough same as a Wix 51356/51358.
