A while back Chuck(sholdhavewrittendownthehandle) posted an oil filter # he has used on his NT as well as his ST. Can anyone point me in the right direction, can't seem to find it. Thanks

I've used these for years and love the price and people in the know on two forums have recommended them.

What is the best oil filter wrench to use on taking off the oil filter on the NT?
I have a Honda oil filter wrench. Have had it for about 15 years now. Paid 5 bucks 15 years ago.

I use the K&N 204 Filters--expensive-$14.00. With Synthetic Oil the changes are every 6000 miles. They come off with a 17mm box wrench. If you want to be decadent, a ratcheting 17mm box wrench is a real treat. I safety wire the oil filter and the drain plug together.
It's paranoia on my part, since I had a drain plug come loose on my Triumph Bonneville, losing all my oil while on an interstate. The sound of that engine blowing was unforgettable. I never want to hear that sound again.

Not to be a smartypants, but the one that fits. Take whatever filter you're going to use down to the chain auto parts store and find the wrench that fits it. Chuck posted pics of his. Get one like that. When you change the oil, put the wrench on the filter and then stick a 6 inch long 3/8 extension through the hole in the centerstand and into the wrench.

Don't waste your money on the plastic filter wrenches that fit the flutes on the oil filter cannister as they will soon break. Get a metal filter wrench. I have one made by Lisle. If you would like, I will get you the part number. Also, a good filter choice is the Mobil1 oil filter, part # M1-108.
Hope this helps!
