| + | ====== Filter Fitment ====== | ||
| + | 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. \\ | ||
| + | Any loose adapters should be removed, cleaned, threads coated with 242 Loctite and installed to correct thread height (as above) \\ | ||

| + | In September of 1995, the MoCo issued a Tech Tip on oil filter fitment. ((HD Technical Tips #43 dated Sept of 1995)) \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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. | ||
