Cheap oil filters on torpedo7 - 5 pack for $20

[Taz]

My 08 EXC only has one filter...........

That's because it's only half the machine my 05 is

What Quasi said. be careful with cheap filters. We cut open a cheap automotive oil filter a few months back and it was hollow i.e. nothing inside at all. Was cheap though.

Not saying the t7 ones aren't any good, but it just reminded me thats all.

i do put in new filter every change but then they only cost me $3 each

hmmm just got my pack of filters from torpedo7, HF155 and HF157 for a KTM.

don't think they're hiflofiltro's.

the pic is a HF157 from the hilfo website.

i've got a hiflofiltro HF157 as sold by supercheap auto, this hasn't got the wrap round plastic thing as in the picture but seems like it's ok quality with HF157 and a batch code stamped on the filter.

the torpedo7 one is crap.

it has no markings on it. big globs of glue between the filter folds at the top and bottom. the bottom metal end's thickness varies between 5 and 6.5mm.

no way i'm putting these in my bike and will try to return them to torpedo7.

later: just had a look at torpeo7's return policy and it all looks good, they'll accept them back with no questions asked.
