Good To Know

Q: How often should this oil filter be replaced? A: Replace it at each oil change interval recommended for your XT model, or sooner if the bike sees heavy dust or frequent short trips.

Q: Does this filter fit every XT 250 through XT 600 made from 1976 to 1989? A: It is listed for those models and year ranges, but filter housings can vary, so confirm against your machine before ordering.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
