Supposedly my hooker longtubes require the use of a short oil filter for clearance. When read this, I was thinking *short* in the realm of the “Master Pro” and likes of the filters you get at places like Oreillys when they advertise oil+filter change deals. Those things are like 2” long. Yeah no thanks.
I did a little digging and found a Fram [PH]30 is a short filter and so i cross referenced that to a Wix 51069R. Fast forward a few days and it arrives in the mail. I wouldnt exactly call it short, it seems standard length to me. Which is fine, I know it’ll fit. Anyways the R must denote a racing filter cause the package has RACING all over it. It also says
CAUTION: Not intended for street use
Ok so what makes it not usable on the street? Also could someone recommend a short oil filter. Would like to stay away from Fram and also places like Autozone. But I dont need a $500 oil filter either …
