The stock plugs have an 11/16" (odd) wrench size and the Champions
have the 5/8" wrench size that allows my rubber grip plug socket
to fit but that size is not in the toolkit, beware! (Tim Bond) |

"FF424"
Fram G3802 (Ford Mustang 4.6L V6)
|
From
Mike Kelly: The
Deutsch FF424 is a near exact match for the OEM filter. Same length,
inlet/outlet diameter, and general size. In stock, at Autozone for
$2.39.
The Fram G3802
is NOT a good substitute for the OEM filter. It is approximately
2 inches longer and larger in diameter. The added length makes it
difficult to install on the aluminum outlet line leaving the tank.
Close inspection with a mirror revealed the rubber line on the inlet
side of the filter was significantly crimped due to the added length
of the filter body. In a jam it would work, but ideally, the inlet
side rubber line needs to be longer for it to fit properly.

NOTES
|
| *This
list of Non-BMW parts has been assembled from postings to the BMW
list and various other sources. These parts have NOT been
tested for compatibility nor are they approved by BMW as replacement
parts. Use this list at your own discretion, and, as always, make
sure to read up on and follow all safety guidelines before undertaking
any work on your motorcycle. If you have any doubts, please either
stick to the BMW recommended part or take the bike to your local dealer.
UPDATE:
Frank Stevens of BMW NA has apparently recently stated that use
of non-BMW parts and performance of some procedures (notably the
0-0 sync popular on Oilheads) can be grounds to deny some or all
warranty claims.
