HiFlo RC for the win. Their is a reason some pleats are shorter and staggered. This allows more pleats and better flow as the pleat ends are not all squeezed together where they meet at the tube. And notice the internal tube with a lot of large holes compared to other filters. And it filters to 5 micron.

The pressure relief on a filter does more that allow a bypass of pressure of a clogged filter. It also allows bypassing the filter media when the oil is cold so as not to over-pressure the oil pump, starve the engine of oil flow or blow out gaskets, oil lines, and distort the media. The cut outs that looked like a bit of extra wasted space around the inner tube in one of the filters actually provides relief of space for wrapping the filter media allowing a few extra folds of the paper on the outer ring of the paper. In non engineering terms that means more filter paper squashed inside the filter.

I think the hiflo filter is just the brand name.. Doesn't mean it's a "high flow" filter. I Could be wrong.

For the hiflo.. that filter fold design actually ads to amount filter amount. If you stretched out the media and measured you would see there is more material, which means more surface area which allows more oil to be filtered at the same time. This also allows for lower pressure in the filter and the pressure relief can be lower. It's is very well engineered. I would rather have oil circulated than held up in the filter... Filters don't do much.. frequent oil changes are your best defense for removal of oil contamination.. Btw KN is made by HiFlo.

The "paper" of each of those filters has different filtration abilities and made out of different materials. HiFlo is 5 microns where as some of those other filters go up to 20-25 microns, which is still good but not as good as HiFlo. K&N uses synthetic "paper", which theoretically should filter more consistently over a long run. Also, canisters are different thickness=different burst ratings. Especially for dirt bike thicker canister means less chance of a puncture. Some of those filters use silicone diaphragm and others rubber. Silicon is obviously better. I prefer HiFlo for oil and K&N for air.

Man... having been an automotive factory trained Red Seal Technician for two and a half decades I can say to everyone that I wouldn't put a Fram oil filter on my wheelbarrow. .... Fram is more garbage than the cheap ebay oil filters.

HiFlo is the name of the company They do air filters too

Non biased...lol..yeah ok as he's wearing a Honda shirt...sorry but you can't know what filter works or flows better by just cutting filters apart...do some real tests then make an actual informative video.

hiflo is the brand not the filter designation

You should make an updated version. Mix it up and Include S&S and you have a whole new video.

Most OEM filters are made very cheap. There are some quality filters out there and believe it or not there's even different filter media that's better for synthetic oil.

Amsoil or Hiflo-filtro is the only oil filters I use with Amsoil full synthetic metric m/c in my W-650.

The filter actually retains and disintegrates the carbon dirt of the combustion process because the oil has detergent components to clean the carbon deposits of each explosion. This is the reason why the oil goes black loosing properties, so is very important to change the oil every 4000 miles. We can say that new oil will also clean the filter the reason why is important to change in first place the oil and in second place the filter. Thank to the oil detergent components a clogging filter situation is avoided which guarantees a high flow the most important of all.

I want to also point out that design you flawed with the HiFlo filter helps keep filter pleets from folding over / collapsing under high stress / flow / pressure and also the bypass for the motors these filters are meant to be used on have a bypass pressure suggestion of 9-15 psi the reason some are lower is for cold weather so oil can circulate till oil warms up and thins the Hiflo filter is the brand name not the filter flo design and its around 10psi bypass while the others are more near 15psi again all within factory specifications for our motors.

Great video, thanks for sharing. I just use Honda filters...you can't go wrong with the factory filters. I've found that nowadays the aftermarket filters are no longer less expensive like they use to be ..,( lawn mowers, boat motors quads etc) . I've seen so many guys completely brain washed by K&N's high powered marketing, I wouldn't use their products for nothing.

hiflo is actually the oil filter provider for a few brands and they are one of the first TÜV approved filters meaning they are up to OEM or better quality. they use good materials from all around the world like finland and toyota steel glue from germany.

07 Vulcan 900 SuperTech 6607 12 years no problem. One trip was NY to California and back.

Hoping to see a wix filter in the mix ..

I wonder if the insides of the Honda filters are different since the model numbers changed from 15410-mfj-d01 to 15410-mfj-d02? I know the d02 is made in China now, so would be interested if they are different inside. Otherwise this is a very informative video. Keep up the good work.

We can cut open 1000 filters if they were not good filters for cars or motorcycles they would not be able to sell them. Engineers get paid a lot of money to put together these filters together and they are very knowledgeable about these scientific specs we are not. If we can do such a better job we need to invent a oil filter. Other than that choose a oil filter change it regularly and find out what works best for your motorcycle end of story.

When I cut my Honda filter open, I was surprised that the filter media didn't have end caps

Hiflofiltro is the brand..Never put fram on anything... Hiflofiltro oil filter n Motul 300v

Liking the video before I see 1 second. I love every single thing you post dude

Just buy HiFlo and ride on brother!

I use the Hi Flow filters ...they are just as good as the K&N filters ....would never use a Fram filter in my bike or car...

Does a motorcycle engine not have a pressure relief valve build into the system from factory? I know automotive and truck engines do.

Ive had an oil filture failure with a k&n filter before were the pressure built up so much it popped rhe filter a hair loose and poored all my oil out at 150mph.

Okay the construction is important but what are the RESULTS FROM THE OIL THAT HAS GONE THROUGH THEM?

I only ever use OE on my bikes.

Good video and info. My personal opinion is, We can discuss oil filters as we discuss motor oil. Its a Never ending story. Just do oil and filter change interval, ore before limits. I change oil and filters on my car and motorcykle every 8 to 10.000km. I use the Hiflow filters mostly.

I'm guessing by now you actually know that the hi-flo is the brand name and not a statement of what it does 😊

I had a Yellow Jacket fly inside my ear and I stuck my finger in killed it obviously it stung me in my ear canal my mother being a very concerned parent since the poison was so close to my brain and ear had me lay my head down on her lap while we went to Stewart's to go eat she said my ear was the size of an eggplant and was totally translucent I mean you can't blame her for not taking me to the hospital families got to eat right? Yes this is a true story I was 11 years old I am now 53 what a difference in parenting from then to now...Now you rush your child to the hospital MRI x-rays give antitoxins stay in hospital for a few days for evaluation then parents let the school system now that you are now disabled for life and traumatized and you need a safe space! P. S. Sue the Hospital for pain I had to endure for a few hours😀

Fram, South of the border is called “El Cheapo”.

Also,the hiflo is the only O.F you tested that has a 5 micron rating

HiFlo is a company in the UK. That has a German TUV rating.

You lost me at wasp...

I'm not at all surprised that Honda smoked the competition.

Were all of the filter elements the same length? Do all of these filters cross over to the honda filter?

The best oil filter is the OEM filter. A small price to pay when you spend $25kon a motorcycle. You want it to last, don’t you? Saving a couple of dollars on a shit filter isn’t worth it

This man may be the Scotty Kilmer of motorcycle!!👨‍🔬👨‍🔧 oh this is gonna be good!🕵️‍♂️ GOD bless you!!

Thanks for take your time and money to show internals of all those filters, really appreciated , but more technical knowledge required for the names of internal components components like but not limited to: end caps, center core, leaf spring or coil spring,anti drain back valve, bypass valve type, filtration media I.e. being cellulose base, enhanced cellulose, cellulose/synth hybrid or full synthetic etc, and yes a filter is a restriction for the oil system flow but but necessary to keep your oil clean and yes design and filtration media will impact on flow, synthetic media allows oil flow better than the cellulose and most or if not every time with better filtration & capacity rating,otherwise why they took the time to develop it, more media could imply but not necessarily, more restriction but indeed more capacity and vice versa, trap and retain hydrocarbon byproducts due fuel combustion and metals particles due normal wear of internal components and keep them is the solely purpose of oil filters, an always over mystified topic, most people demonize Fram filters but from the stand point of cost and design they do what they are intended to do for a limited time, personally I wont use them,not a fan but if you will replace them often no problemo, to be on the safe side get a decent quality and design filter and replace it when mandated by manufacturer, Honda filters looks very decent of course OEM equipment but cost efective remember that cost is everything for OEMs,

I use HIFLO, same as KandN

Question: Can you pretty much buy any brand oil filter and it will generally fit your bike? Or are there different sizes for different brands of bikes? Cheers!

I had a wasp sting me in my upper lip from taking a drink too lol

You needed to use a FRAM motorcycle filter, they are built totally different, more like the Honda filter. you chose the crappy Walmart car FRAM filter for 4 bucks.

"I my be wrong." Yeah dude you're wrong about a lot

Hiflo... possibly the producer or former producer of K&N oil filters... Vesrah my choice for brake pads...

Halfway through the vid you seem to have got tired of those kinky black rubber gloves you were so jolly happy with at the start. But I don't blame you, 10 minutes is about enough for sweaty hand syndrome to build up.

2 videos at once. Oh yeah. Thanks for sharing buddy. Keep 'em coming. btw any link to buy that shirt you're wearing?

Great topic.....great job! Thanks Cody.

Hiflo are quality filters wouldn’t use anything else 👍

What the number on the Honda filter

Did you ever figure out how HIFLO achieves High-Flow? (LMAO)

K and N have the same insides as SmartTech from Walmart

Where is Mobil One?

I got stung by bee right in the mouth leaving My soda out then drinking it man it took a long time not to be scared I feel your pain

Volar filters the best. A buck a piece. Step right up and get em' while they're still hot! $1 a piece, ladies and gentlemen.... $1 a piece! And if you buy 4, we'll even throw in a Hello Kitty sticker and a bag of rejected crayons from Crayola factory. Volar. Dependable, reliable, and quality you can count on. - Don't hate. :)

Which filter i can use for Royal Enfield 650? I live in HK and there are no re parts.

My K and N oil filter almost caused me to crash when it leaked all over my back tyre.As it was I was stranded 100 miles from home with an oily back tyre and very low oil level.

"Hi-Flo" lol is a BRAND NAME it is NOT the description.....seriously? They make AIRFILTERS etc where one DOES want higher flow for the same filtration...I would not read anything into the frand name that seems lame if you ask me

Has anyone seen Dave? Love the banner in the back corner mate!

They make a tool just for opening O.Fs

So again we see that if you`re blessed with a Honda,go OEM. Always OEM! Unless it`s a rectifier,then go Shindengen......

Thanks for doing this for me! (and all the others)

I always wondered whats inside the hiflo

What is you're opinion on the oil filter for 1999 Magna 750c?

I'm sure the wasp has had better days as well!

Nice review. Hi to all. SOME OIL FILTER DON'T HAVE PRESSURE RELIEF.DOES IT DAMAGE THE ENGINE OR MAY AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE? THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ANYBODY ANSWERS.

I hate seeing you using a grinding disk in the middle of a workshop with bikes around you. The sparks are pieces of metal and abrasive material you send flying all around. Big one will probably fall on your knees or on the floor but the fine dust will cover the bikes and possibly part of open engines...think about it twice next time

Give you a "E" for effort bro but this review fell pretty short of being informative. Im sure youll get better with time.

DUDE, Hiflo is the brand name. Filtro is the oil filter you are testing. Comeon.

Not a single reusable filter reviewed?

curious why the design of the high flow filtro is the way that it is. unusual stuff. Does anyone know why?

You should be more familiar with leading brands, and you should devise a way to actually TEST them. BTW, Hiflo is the brand name, not a property of the filter.

Do you have a recommendation on 1982 cx500c canister oil filter?

No bias!,really,shop full of honda ,a honda shirt.Hmmmmmm?

They all seem to be alright.

olá, boa tarde! qual filtro você indica ?

Dirty oil is way better than no oil.

Appreciate it!! 👌

How do I know when I should change my oil? I bought I used bike and I'm not sure when the last oil change was.

How about Pure One filters?

tryna figure out the ideal filter for my virago, toss up between k &n 145 and stp s6004.... whats the difference and why? why should i go with k & n just because its more expensive and "high performance" .... do i really need a "high performance" for my 1993 virago 750..... or would it make a significant difference and be totally worthwhile....im absolutely clueless, Motorcycle MD: PLEASE HELP! haha

Mann Hummel (Germany) make the best oil filters in the world. Vastly superior filtration media. They don’t do all Motorcycles, but if they do yours...get Mann Hummel.

Is this a joke ?? I think it is!

The ONLY FILTER I've EVER USED and will EVER CONTINUE TO USE.............is the K&N one!!! Many laugh at me for how much they cost...............UNTIL...........I ride my bike hard, and FAR BEYOND the quote/unquote "recommended" oil-change intervals,and drain the oil and filter,and they BOTH look GREAT!!! Like they could go another few thousand miles without ANY problem!!! Btw........one "tip" I recommend for any gearhead? Stick a few tiny "magnets" on the sides of your new filters!!! That way,it'll "magnetize" the entire filter housing and any "metal" pieces that comes in,will immediately STICK to the side of the housing instead of possibly damaging internal engine-parts in case they DO NOT get filtered out by the media-filter element!!! ~Peace~

Yes your the guy I,m going to trust in knowing oil filters. A guy with two black washers in his ear lobes. Ya that's cool?

Blah blah blah... get to it already

Previous video on oil was good, non biased.. in this video, this guy can't see passed Honda. Disliked.

Did this really have to be 27:32 mins long?

hey Cody, watching your video on oil filters. very interesting. wasps, I was having a piss in a wood when I was stung on the knob, ouch, so I share your fear of them, whats the white trike in the background Cody, please and can i buy it ?

Mobil 1 is good

Maybe I can't tell from the video but it looked like the Honda filter wasn't sealed up properly at either end allowing for a constant flow of unfiltered oil along with the filtered oil. Maybe I just can't see it properly. If it isn't sealed properly then the Honda is the worst filter here.

Stop talking and get on with it.

do we really need another oil filter video? umm, NO!

Dude I cant stand wasps either

Fram is far from the best...

Wtf He cuts up filters

The honda filter is a filtech unit made in the USA,,, www.filtechusa.com

We were anchored at Catalina Island when we were swarmed by yellow wasps. They are very aggressive, much more than bees. One of the wasps stung my grandfather on the lip. We actually had to flee the island and there were still wasps on the boat hours later. Ever since, I kill wasps every chance I get.
