Hi guys,
i'm a bit confused about which is the right oil filter for my 2001 VTR.
Looking at the original Honda spare parts, making a research from my VIN it seems that the standard one cod. 15410-MM9-013 is no more available and it's been replaced by the cod. 15410-MCJ-505.
I searched them on internet and using Hiflo Filtro corresponding models as reference i noticed that the 15410-MM9-013 is 73mm long and the 15410-MCJ-505 is 64mm and is supposed to be used on the later model from 2003.
Can you help me?!
At the moment the bike is using a Hiflo HF204 that is supposed to be used on later model. (Hiflo suggest the HF303 for my'01)
Am i risking to damage something?!
In that case i will change it as soon as possible.
Thanks
Oil filter - which is the right one?!
Re: Oil filter - which is the right one?!
The only major difference between the two is one fits inside the stock chin fairing and the other doesn't.
Also the longer one holds a bit more oil.
So no it will not damage anything running either filter.

Loud pipes don't save lives, knowing how to ride your bike will save your life.
Re: Oil filter - which is the right one?!
I remember querying that very same question at my local bike shop some years ago, when I was given a shorter filter than the normal Honda OEM oil filter that I had been using for years. They said the older style (longer filter) had been superseded by the shorter one. So that is what I have been using ever since,Def@st wrote: ↑Fri Apr 08, 2022 7:11 pm Hi guys,

PS. Back again. Fowlers even say it's been superseded (click or tap pic below to enlarge):
Re: Oil filter - which is the right one?!
Thanks a lot!
I was worried that the smaller filter could cause some damage.
So, for the next oil change i will just pick up the cheaper one!
Thanks again
