Oil Filter Recommendations

[PonyBoy30]

Hi Everyone.. Rookie question. What replacement oil filter are you all running for your 450L's? I'm getting ready to change my oil for first time. Thx!

I bought a few of the factory/oem filters along with the Honda motor oil to get me through my first few oil changes.

Oem filters, I've run tusk and hiflo filters as well with no issues.

I use Honda Parts and lubrication for Honda Machines.

I doubt that Honda actually makes the filter anyway. I buy HiFloFiltro b/c they are the largest mfr of OE filters. They look, fit and seem to perform the same as OE w/o the OE price.

Kn filters work just fine

Never bought anything but Honda for my 450l, but I run a mix of wix and Honda in my trx450r, never had a problem and they look almost identical.

From what I can tell, OE Honda oil filters are made by Toyo Roki. Looks like they also do Honda cars, Subaru and others.
