Oil Filter

The engine oil in your YAMAHA vehicle circulates inside the engine. The oil becomes dirty during normal operation as it circulates through the transmission, pistons, cylinders and clutch etc. The Oil filter filters the foreign matter out of the engine oil.We manufacture the best oil filter to match with engine and engine oils. When YAMAHA develops motorbikes also considers about usage environment like air temperature, road surface conditions and humidity. In addition, genuine oil filter cuts dusts in engine oil. If the oil filter is not periodically replaced it can become clogged with debris and eventually the engine oil may start to circulate without passing through the filter, which is liable to greatly increases engine wear and consequently shorten the life of the engine.
There is no big difference in appearance of genuine and non-genuine oil filter. But the performance of oil filter is not determined from appearance. In fact, many non-genuine oil filter appearance is very similar with genuine oil filter, however the performance is not same at all. We at YAMAHA manufacture and design Oil filters to specifically suit your vehicle. Therefore we have confidence that genuine oil filters are the best for the YAMAHA motorbikes.
