Motorcycle Oil Filter

An engine’s spinning gears swirl in a bath of lubrication. To keep this fluid flowing, a motorcycle oil filter manages any crud and contamination that may enter the crankcase. It’s a tall order for such a small and humble part -- and it’s something all riders should take seriously. Think about it: small shavings of metal, flecks of dirt or who knows what else can really gum up the works. Motorcycle oil filters are there to catch all that crap and keep it out of the cogs.
