Hi,

 

  I'm trying to get some guidance.  The oil lines into my pump are getting rather hard. ('93)  I want to change them and I thought to change the filter at the same time.  The only oil filter that I can find for Ski Doo is a small inline 1/4" barb filter.  The oil pump has a 5/16"(+/-) barb.  What is the proper filter to use, and how often should it be replaced?  According to the local sled shop, the small one is what Ski Doo calls for on all of their injected engines.  If that's the case, why the 5/16th fitting on the pump?  What's a guy to do????



Thanks,

larry

Hi Larry,

         I assume we're talking 582 here? I suspect the 1/4" is fine 

from a flow standpoint, the oil moves awfully slow. I buy my oil 

filters from CPS (http://www.800-airwolf.com/) and they pretty much 

match the oil injection system barb. I change it at annual, though 

I've never heard one way or another. (I guess I should have cut my 

last one open to find out if anything was inside.)

No the 1/4" is not the right one. you can get the 5/16"s one for a 5$ or so.

Use a urethane line on it as well.  And you don't have to cut it open to see what is inside  as you can look into the end of it once off and see and debris on the screen. It is just a plastic  housing with a screen inside.    I would continue to change them annually.
