    Just wondering where you guys buy your oil filters. I called around to a couple places and a lot of places either don't carry motorcycle stuff or don't have anything for an older yamaha bike. Are you guys getting your stuff mostly online? :?:

    Where are you?

    In Colorado, at least, Advance Auto Parts carries the suitable filter (Fram?) for XJ's. The kit even includes the O-rings needed for the filter bolt and cover.

    the guy at advance here said it was a "small engine" number, walked right over and picked one up, with the o-ring
    try the small engine approach

    if you have car quest, they stock and will look it up by your bike year, model, etc

    might as well get plugs while you are at it.

    Or if you're close to NAPA, go try them too! That's where I got my filter(S).

    same number for all xjs through 86. I have both an 85 and 86 x that take these.

    Not sure if you have them around you, but Fleet Farm has a pretty good selection, and carried what I needed.

    Hello.
    Do y'all use the large filter or the small filter?
    I am fixing to buy an oil filter adapter.
    The larger one will fit my bike.
    Which filter is easier to find?
