MAHLE OC-575 Micro-Star Yamaha Oil Filter.

[Ramseybella]

Just had these come in a week or so ago from Rock Auto $5.00 and change each, thought you guys would like to check it out.
Has a tall pre greased Seal ring as you can see and a deep concave fitting.
Have not installed one yet.

Great price!
Before people start to question the price and ask how these can be any good, realize that Mahle's main business is making OEM filters other companies, including Mazda and ...

Just ordered some myself. Thanks for the tip. Mahle is also an original equipment supplier for BMW automobiles.

If these turn out to be a great deal maybe we can get a discount shipping price on a case? ::020::
Just thinking out loud! ::003::

Rock Auto at this time is the bottom line price I have found but the shipping for two is $7.00 and change.

When does free shipping kick in? What if you purchase a case of oil filters? We use oil filters more than we use tires (barring TKC 80 users).

Just checked shipping charges at Rock Auto. Entered up to 100 items and still shipping charges of $11.12 (95820). 10 filters were $7.55 shipping or $5.75 each. The OEM filter is $15ish each.

I guess when one of us lives down the street from RA?

Located in Madison Wisconsin.

Still a damn good price.

Nice find. I will have to look into getting some since the three Purolator's I recently bought are the new design and will probably leak.

 

[tomatocity]

Just ordered some. Anyone in my area that needs a couple, $6 each.

Made in Indonesia :-[. The car filters I have are made in Austria.

Can't tell from the angle of the picture. How short are they. I need 2.6" or shorter to fit with the rumbux skid plate.

OEM filters are made in Thailand.

 

[shredmeister]

OEM filters are made in Thailand.

Not the ones I have. Says Austria on them. Mahle OC 575 is the motorcycle specific filter. Interesting that Moto filters are not made in the same country as car filters. For example, Purolator car filters made in USA, Moto filters made in China?

EDIT: I think you meant the OEM Yamaha filter is made in Thailand. Have to agree with you there.

Received the MAHLE OC 575 oil filters today. Compared then to the OEM filter... indentical other than the print.

Bought 4 this morning. 2 for the 10, 2 for the FZ1. Thanks for sharing.

They are just a Red one over 2.5" that I would say 2.6".. ;D
Most of the stuff we are getting is made in Asia fellas, we have been sold out a long time ago!
I remember my Mom telling us " I feel sorry for you kids having to grow up in this day and age." And she grew up during the depression! Now I am starting to understand what she meant. :-[
Thank the damn genius who hosed our fitting surface on the U.S. made filters, or I would still be buying them.
Just got back from pounding 1,400 miles since Tuesday will be changing out the sludge and try the filter.
Off topic but I am not in love with the K60 when it starts to get past half life. Coming back from Colorado 550 some of those hair pin fish hook turns with a load on the bike felt like way to much some throwing out from the back, not fun.

 

[Ramseybella]

Changed the oil Sunday and used the Mahle, fits perfect, no leaks I guess it's doing it's job.
Changed the differential fluid as well, been like 10k+ miles since I last changed it, looked clean.

 

[Ramseybella]

Installed one week and a half ago, no leaks sets back like the OEM should be doing it's job.

 

[Ramseybella]

These filter are a good product install my last one need to order more, they went up still under $6.00.

 

[Ramseybella]

I have had no issues yet turned my Honda Goldwing 1800 friend onto these same filter as the Tenere.
Bought six just under $40.00 shipped.
