    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1981 gs 1100 does anyone know wix number for oil filter. I know there are threads but did not see.I got right filter but o-ring was wrong.I have used oem o-ring for a long time, just would like to know???
 
They can look it up for you at any Napa auto parts store. If your town has a traffic light, you probably have a Napa store.

PS4931 will get you the correct filter, but the o-ring is the three-lobed jobbie for the 8 valve engines.

I usually just order four or five OEM o-rings when I order Suzuki parts and change the o-ring once a year.
 
Hi Mr. tlg1100,

Other options: Fram (CH6000), Purolator (ML16800), Napa/Wix (PS24931), HiFlo Filtro (HF133), K&N (KH133), STP (rebranded Fram), EMGO (10-29800), Suzuki (16510-45040).

Personally, I've been buying HIFLO filters from Bike Bandit 10 at a time ($3.45 ea). They include both types of the O-rings. I don't change the O-rings every time. But since the included O-rings aren't quite as robust as the OEM parts, I change it every 2nd or 3rd oil change.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
Avoid the fram, noticeably worse quality than OEM and the o ring they provide is not very good
 
will these filters fit an 850. i followed the wix link below and the 850 is not listed. the description seems to match what i've seen on earlier oil change

NEVERMIND. i think i found the answer on basscliff's.
