Beware Of Emgo Oil Filters!!!!

[DantheEXman]

I ordered about 5 Emgo oil filters the other day for my 400ex. And When i got them, everything was fine, they were the right parts and everything. But when i tried to install one, IT WOULDENT FIT!! I have changed the filter many times with the Honda oil filters. But this one is a hair thick. And it bottoms out the spring in the back. I slapped the cover on anyways to see if it would seal up, and there is a crack about the size of a sheet of paper between the cover and the engine on the bottom. The O-ring should keep it from leaking. I started it up and it didnt leak. Hopefully it wont leak when The oil gets nice and hot. So Ill just have to wait and see. But If you want an oil filter that fits right, Stick with HONDA.


just my 2 cents

[Pappy]

if it dont fit perfectly get it out of there....please....

[eldoexrider01]

maybe they sent u some bad ones or wrong ones. ive used em for a while and my friend uses them in all his cycles and has used one on his 400ex since 99 and it has never messed anything up or smoked. not tryin to flame ya or down ya but see if u can make sure it is same if not. send em back!!!

[AtvMxRider]

I would try another one but I wouldn't run it if the cover is not sealed tight.

I know it seems silly, but you didn't manage to put it in backwards did you..

I'd be pulling it back apart.. if it happens to be bacwards the oils not going to circulate and your going to have some serious wrenching to do..

I have been using the Emgo filters for a year now (5 or 6 filters) and have never had a problem with them fitting. Maybe you got the wrong part number?

[300EX KING]

screw honda i use K&N oil filters they are the best, and only cost 5 bucks.

[CranMan]

I've also put about 8-10 emego(sp?) filters in my 400ex and not had any problems with them. Are you sure they sent you the right part #'s ??

[Big - D Racing]

I run emgo and change my oil about every 2 weeks and have never had a single problem

What's an oil filter???:huh

[oynot400]

I stopped at a bike shop last weekend to pick up a jet. I noticed that they had oil filters so I asked if they had any Honda filters and what they would cost, always looking for a deal.:D Any way he explained to me that they carry Fastline filters. Fastline or fastway, makes them for K&N. They were only $3.25 and the K&N were over $5. :rolleyes: He said he would cut me a deal if I bought 10 or more. I am going back when I get done with the Emgo's I already have.

SOMEBODY WITH EMGO OIL FILTERS FOR THEIR 400EX, P L E A S E GIVE ME THE PART NUMBER ON THE OIL FILTER SO I KNOW I GOT THE RIGHT ONE, THE NUMBER ON THE BOX WOULD BE PERFECT!!! THANKS ALOT GUYS (AND GURLS)

[Doibugu2]

Go to Rocky Mountain, they sell emgo, they should have the part # there.

[DantheEXman]

No. Somobody give me the part number off their box. I think RM f*cked up.

[JOEX]

This came off my latest receipt: 45100. I don't know if it's the emgo # or the shops.

[sduncan]

The number on the box is as follows:
10-99200

This replaces Honda #s-15412-KFO-000
15412-KFO-010
15412-KFO-670

Hope this helps.......................

its the thing that screws into the top of your oil tank. mine always comes out with oil on the end of it. my fix: dip it and wipe off the stick until i can pull it out and there is no more on there.

[DantheEXman]

WOW. I knew there was a simple solution!!! u guys are too much.

[400ex99]

I have a couple of emgo oil filters, they seem to be to thick, the # on the box is 10-99200. iv tried several times to install it. cover doesnt seal good, went back to a stock filter with no problems.:mad:

[Buzzsaw]

I use the emgo's from rm buy 10 at a time change oil after two to three week depends on riding.

[yellow_ho_01]

i use a them filters all the time.... no problems.. one of my friends tried using one, one of mine even and said it didnt fit either... went and looked,.. sure enough, he had it in backwards.... make sure its in right,... it LOOKS wrong, but its not... it goes with the hole sticking OUT not in. hope this helps.

[Dustybear300ex]

yea i have been using those filters also and havent had any problems.

[coryatver]

I use emgo filters. One of them broke while it was installed one of the metal ends came off so it was just laying in there. But i have not had any other ones that did that.

[Deathbringer]

I have used them exclusively on all my bikes..no probs
