Review on 🏎️ Enhance Your Racing Performance with Hiflofiltro (HF204RC) Black RC Racing Oil Filter+ by Kevin Graham

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Watch out for one star reviews.

Like some others, I dismissed the low ratings as careless (because I've had good results with Hiflo filters in the past). I installed it as directed, didn't use a collet nut etc. I took about 5 rides on my 2006 Triumph Daytona 955i before it started leaking. I noticed it mid-ride and it was just a few drops. I've been nursing it at home and at this point it was about 1 drop per second. The back of my bike and my rear tire were covered in oil. I assumed it was user error or a nearby leak because the Daytona filter is recessed and hard to see. I pulled the filter out to see if the o-ring had moved or the housing was cracked, but the filter was dry at the junction with the engine. I wiped the filter and left it filled with oil over the oil drain for a day and by the end of the day I saw oil dripping from the nut's spot welds. I will no longer use these filters. Too much responsibility. I replaced this filter with Royal Purple 10-2867. Slightly longer than Hiflo for easy removal without sacrificing ground clearance.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Crumpled
