 +In April of 1995, the MoCo issued a Tech Tip stating: ((HD Technical Tips #42 dated April of 1995 pg 1)) \\
 +When replacing oil filters during service intervals; \\
 +Check that the oil filter adapter has a sufficient amount of threads protruding to properly engage the filter. \\
 +The correct thread length should be 0.45"​-0.52"​ \\

 +The MoCo issued a Tech Tip on Oil Filter Fitment((HD Technical Tips #43 dated Sept of 1995)) \\
 +Remember to check the oil filter adapter to ensure that it is tight. \\

 +All OEM filters are interchangeable between the models (spin-ons). \\ (however we recommend that you use the appropriate filter for the model) \\
 +But, there are some things to be aware of if filters are swapped between models. \\
 +
 +  - Although Dyna models can use the short filter in place of the long filter, \\ The oiling system capacity would be reduced.
 +  - Long filters cannot be used on EFI models because of the contact with the crankshaft position sensor.
 +  - Eagle Iron oil filters are 1/4" longer than the stock filter.
 +On some models, you may run into a fitment problem.
