CRF450 oil filter orientation
Posted on November 4, 2008

When I changed my oil and filter in my 08 CRF 450R I accidentally dropped it, on a rag luckily, and then realised that it is possible to replace the oil filter cover in different positions. There are no markings on the cover plate to identify the orientation. After a closer inspection the three ports will only align one way. If you look inside the engine case where the filter cover slides in you should see the orientation of the three ports, match the cover to the ports, you should have one facing up, one to the right and one down.
Check out the diagram below, the port to the right and down is hidden by the cover. If the cover was orientated any other way one of the sleeves would be visible on the left side of the filter cover.
