Performance & Practical Benefits

A good filter doesn’t announce itself—it simply keeps everything running the way it should. With the 8M0130400, you’ll notice the engine staying cleaner, smoother, and more consistent over long stretches of riding. The filtration media captures debris and fine contaminants before they can circulate where they shouldn’t, helping maintain clean oil longer.

Because the filter is engineered for a high rate of oil flow, you’ll feel steady lubrication even during high-heat, high-RPM conditions. That means no lag, no heavy feeling in the throttle, and less stress on internal components. Off-road riders especially will appreciate how well this filter holds up to dust-heavy environments that tend to overwhelm low-grade elements.

Installation is quick and frustration-free. It fits the housing cleanly, tightens easily, and removes without the wrestling match that cheaper filters sometimes cause. Pair it with a quality oil change, and you’ve got reliable, OEM-level engine protection ready for the next adventure.

Why Buy OEM

Choosing an OEM-grade component comes down to one thing: trust.

• Built to Yamaha’s exact fit and performance requirements
• More reliable over time than bargain aftermarket options
• Made with stronger, more durable filtration media
• Helps extend engine life and maintain smoother performance
• Designed to work right the first time, without unusual wear or side effects

For something as important as oil flow and engine protection, OEM simply makes sense.
