Oil filter xj600s

[hkhksh]

Hi all
Anybody know the part number for the oil filter on my xj600s 1992

[billywhizz]

don't know the part number, but should be able to locate the right type from most suppliers

there's a list of filters on the yamaha site

The last one I used was a champion from a local car spares shop.

so many makes outthere with different numbers etc, I brought one off the shelf local dealer quitecommon so you should be ok. cost £9.00

I used a Champion F306. Same as I use for my Fazer1000 . Wemoto & elsewhere sell them:

Halfords also usually have them in stock too. About £6.00, so if you aren't buying other stuff, it's cheaper at Halfords if there is one near you, as there's no postage to pay.

Yes, Halford's £6.50. But I hadn't realised that you need a special tool too! Back to Halford's I suppose

It might come off by hand (it should if its been fitted correctly). Or you could bash a screwdriver through it. Filters need to be only hand tight so no tool needed to fit the new one, just oil the seal and screw it on.

Iv'e always done mine up hand tight, and always needed a tool to remove it! I usde to use a chain whip, but recently I bought an oil filter socket. One of the best tools Iv'e ever bought, and cheap too!

Same with the car, no need for 'special' tool; if after a short run you find it leaks a little then you tighten it a bit more.....?

(Yes it's more convenient to have the exact spanner for the job, I know ;D)
