[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1455381, member: 19880"] I think Yamaha switched to the shorter filter because it is used in a number of bikes and it was easier to just stock one filter type rather than two different ones. I don't use Yamaha filters - normally a Mobil-1 M1-110. This is a longer filter and I change it every second oil change. Some of the "automotive" filters in the long format changed their base plate plate from concave to convex a number of years ago so check to make sure. Bosch and Purolator (plus others) made this change and the filter is likely to give a poor seal unless you use a modified union bolt - someone was selling them here a while ago. Nothing wrong with the Hiflo HF 148 - keep right on using it. [/QUOTE]
