[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1455451, member: 19880"] Not sure why the shorter filter would make the oil light come on. The FJR relies upon an oil LEVEL sensor, not oil pressure. Does it seem reasonable to expect the oil level in the vicinity of the sensor would be affected by a smaller filter (with possibly more flow resistance)? I sometimes have the oil light come on (using an automotive "long" oil filter). Usually only happens with relatively fresh oil, a relatively cold motor and under heavier acceleration. Oil level is always OK when I check. Never any engine problems, no measurable oil consumption ever. [/QUOTE]
