Kawasaki Oil Filter 16097-0008

This oil filter fits the 2024 Kawasaki Ninja 500 as it should. I used this part to replace my current filter and it works great.

I prefer to use oem filters so I was happy to find one on amazon for my new to me 2018 z900rs. Fits good works good all that stuff 👍

A great filter at a great price. There isn't a filter out there that's better for these bikes imo. It's one of the few things I buy OEM from Kawasaki.

Haven't ordered it from Amazon before until now but the model is good. Concerned it came in a plastic bubble sleeve so maybe order 4 give or take to get it boxed. Whether it is cellulose, enhanced cellulose, or fiberglass it was designed to go for a year with synthetic oil according to what a dealer or a kawasaki website told me, can't remember who, but so long as you don't go over the mileage interval you should be fine. I am going to submit oil samples to a lab out of curiousity, if I ever make a video I'll try to remember to come back to here. In fact, while it is not ideal for conventional especially if you live in a harsh weather environment you could probably get away with it as well. I wouldnt risk it although I suspect very unlikely a risk at all. I travel for work so my bike unfortunately sits more than I'd like hence synthetic oil and filter concern. You wouldnt want a filter decaying or oil deteriorating and leaving corrosives or pieces of itself behind. Clean oil can sit for a while though. My car gets away with 3k max conventional once a year though now I rebuilt the engine it will be synthetic<- due to a mechanic not bolting an exhaust nut to which exhaust leak melted my valves, the engine itself was pristine even with conventional. Other companies have some interesting filter models that are practically equivalents between my car and bike but I couldn't get the information I wanted. It is quite possibly a shared design with my nissan filter just different branding and/or manufacturers. Also maybe an improvement in filter medium to do the year long without a change. I plan to cut some filters open. It should have an anti drainback and pressure relief valve. When you go after market you may be able to get a high micron filtration, but if there is a flow restriction due to it or an overly or underly sensitive presssure relief valve then that would be far worse for your engine. For all I know the kawasaki may have a great micron rating. I looked at one aftermarket filter with a micron rating of 20 which is great because most engine parts are polished at 23 microns and average filters do 30 to 50 microns usally around 40 microns. Studies show the smaller particles due the most damage though I am uncertain if that is because most the bigger stuff gets filtered out so the smaller stuff is the only remaining threat. So while the aftermarket seems nice to guarantee 20 micron filtration and then I can use a magnet and healthy fluid intervals to protect against smaller stuff risking the restriction of the flow rate isn't my idea of smart and doesnt add peace of mind even if the risk is small. It is a bigger risk to longevity than just staying stock. Now one after market I looked at had a higher end synthetic media for towing on my vehicle to allow for the higher flow rate and synthetic, but it did not specify microns which is why I would get off stock to potentially improve filtration but since I do not know the stock micron rating or the aftermarket oil flow there is no peace of mind gained in the risk since I could not be certain of any improvements. And I really did want to switch to the synthetic aftermarket filters so that I could just store one filter type for both my car and my bike but there just isn't enough data by aftermarket and certainly is no data for stock parts. An aftermarket filter would probably work for years before consequence if any which again is minimal to unlikely, but I know from experience that stock filters and frequent fluid changes have kept the guts of my nissan engine pristine to 200k even on conventional oil. Other than hype, aftermarkets offer no assurances or substantial data for improvement gains so there is no weighable benefit. You'd think they would know their own specs and be interested in selling, but they're being lazy or hiding something to which I don't do business with them unless they become the only option or an issue develops with stock. If you cant trust a stock filter then you should question the quality of your vehicle from the manufacturer because if they don't care about your engine then they don't care about any of your vehicle and only have eyes for your wallet.Disappointed that Kawasaki hasn't posted filter specs to show people why they are great unless theyre doing the basics for filters which still isnt aweful though disappointed, but people are stepping up their care for toys like bikes and some guys only get one and then their wives say no more. If Kawaski made a performance filter people would buy it and even use it on compatible vehicles outside Kawasaki. I chose the Vulcan 650 in hopes I have parts in supply well into my grey years as well as Kawasaki makes specs available if your particular or around bad mechanics, but at the same time their shops tend to be good shops. Not always, shout out to a buddy in Nebraska with bad ports on his high end racing Ninja and the shop that rebuilt it to have it destroyed again costing him a ton of money.(Kawasaki you failed a several decade loyalist & that is his last kawasaki) Now maybe Kawaski has flow rate of the engine listed in the service manual but haven't found it yet. And if they had specs on their standard filters and made a performance filter with specs they would have potentially gained income for minor improvements.Lastly, happy Kawaski listed the generic coolant for their bike if their coolant isnt available; however, their coolant wasn't listed in the fsm nor did they detail the specs in their bottle. Hoat ethylene glycol vs traditional ethylene glycol etc... wont go into that on this filter review.In short stay stock unles you can actaully verify flow rate, microns, valve relief pressure etc.. Stock on your engine is one less worry.

Its an OEM filter. Worked great.

A+

The media could not be loaded. Great filter - wish I could pay more and get better shipping protection.

Fit and function as required.

excellent product and service
