2005 ZX6-R Oil filter

zx6rider · 10-31-2006

Im just a tad over 1,000 miles and I am going to start using synthetic now. Plan on changing after work today, but my problem is, I am having trouble finding an oil filter.

could someone point me in the right direction?

thanks

MMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm.....hmmmmmmmmmmmm. DEALERSHIP!!!! where you bought the bike. That would be my first guess.

K & N filters are pretty decent too. I plan on getting one at my next oil change. Google search or ebay.

i run either OEM or K&N filters in my bike. i didnt see a bad word about them in that write-up but i may have missed it. far as i can see the K&N's are a really good filter

didn't get it from a dealership, I got it for $4500, with 50 miles on it

Being the cheap *** I am, I can't give the dealership the satisfaction of bending me over and charging $100+ dollars to change my oil and a "tune-up".

thanks for the link, but no 2005 zx6-r. Just gonna order a K&N

Last oil change I used some air filter from Amsoil that was the power of the delta (triangle). More expensive than the cheaper one, but it seemed to run fine.

Wow, I blame the alcohol. Here's the article I was reading:
http://www.calsci.com/motorcycleinfo/Consumables.html

One has to scroll down a bit to get to the filters. In it it mentions that it doesn't recommend the K&N-204. Nothing about any other K&N model. Why did the girlfriend leave an open bottle of wine on the counter!!!

danallen636 · 11-01-2006

ive always run K&N oil and air filters, with amsoil oil in all of my bikes. never had any problems.

zx6rider · 11-06-2006

well it was fairly easy to find an oil filter, but from doing all my research, Im 100% convinced to run Syntethic oil. and even switched my Jeep wrangler, which has 10k miles on it over to synthetic. Mobil1 10W-40 for the win.
