Hiflo filter

[Grumpy old man 4,682]

Hi All

Changed the oil and filter today and I put a Hiflo 204 filter on as normal but! It was only after it was on did I realise it was a 204 racing filter  now is there anything I need to know about this does it need Changing more regularly or is it fine to use as normal?

 

Thanks all

I believe the racing ones are less filtery and allow a freer flow of oil, hence less internal drag and more power, I would change it for a road one personally.

The Racing filter is an upgrade to the standard filter.

The Racing one has the ability to be lock wired... hole thru the nut at the front....

A sort of 'Prince Albert' of the Oil Filter world...

I used to tighten a Jubilee clip around mine, then lockwire it to the sump...

 

Fair brought the tears to my eyes, it did.
