Difference in oilfilters, which is preferred?

Post by Lasse »

Which oilfilter should one go for?

Looking at Wemoto, so is the HiFlo or the Champion preferred? Or should one go for an original Honda item.

Kind regards, Lasse

I have only ever used the Hein Gericke ones, so whatever brand they sell is the ones I use.

OEM Honda filter! Every time.
I have seen too many trashed engines caused by the usage of NoName or low quality filters.
