beemer2000 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Ok guys, I know this has been on here before but without having to do a lot of rearch PLEASE just tell me what auto filter do I need for a '85 K100? Thanks. Terry Link to comment
Paul Mihalka Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 It uses the same oil filter as the R1100R and K75 your list use. Link to comment
beemer2000 Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 Thanks Paul. I just bought this bike and haven't got familiar with it yet. I guessed as much concerning the filter but wanted to make sure. Plymoth Neon filters are the ones I have been using and 20W50 Automobile Oil. I assume all this will be applicable. Thanks again.

Bruce C Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Terry Don't put a painted filter or one with a easy grip surface in a K-bike. The coating just might come off and get in the oiling system! Link to comment
beemer2000 Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 I don't understand your response?? A painted surface? Aren't all filters "painted?" I just changed the oil and filter today as well as the tranny and rear end oils. I used a Fram filter "painted" orange. As I have done for years. I am not sure what you are referencing? And thanks for the response. tlh Link to comment
Eschelon1 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 On the earlier K bikes, the oil filter actually sits in the oil pan, that's why you have to take off that cover to get to it. Hence, if the paint from the oil filter flakes off it could plug an oil line, or just may be get caught up in the filter. If you pick up a BMW filter, you will notice they are not painted.
