Any one using a Hifiltro HF197?

Been using HiFloFiltro HF562 on my 2012 Kymco Yager. Oil always looks good coming out so I think they work at least as well as OEM.

I buy them 10 at a time. Fits Vespa as well.

Only until it's out of warranty. Genuine seems pretty strict on dealer doing the services. I'm sure it's illegal to require owners to do this but I can't afford a lawyer if the decided not to cover an issue

You can change your own oil or have another shop do it. It's just a smart move to keep receipts of materials and labor.

As for concerns regarding consumer protections when dealing with warranties, remember that you have the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act in your corner.

Which HiFlo Make, Model, and Year do you choose for a Buddy?

Ah, HF197. That is what this thread is about.

The HiFlo HF197 is the only oil filter I've ever used in my 2006 Blur and have not had any issues. I have not found any large particulates, dogs, cats, or small children in the oil during changes. I usually change the filter every other oil change.
