Did the first oil change today at 500 miles. That spring sure is a pain. Just wanted to let everyone know about the Fram oil filter that I used. I cant recall seeing it listed anywhere here, but the no. is CH6015. It even comes with a new o-ring for the filter cover.

 

Hey I found this article just in case any one was boared. Interesting stuff.

Yup, its the exact same model number for the KLX 300, which means that KLX 300 oil filter is the KLX 250s oil filter.
I got this tip here on the forum, use vaseline to hold the spring in its place while installing the oil filter. It was a PITA when I was changing it for the 1st time until I heard the Vaseline trick

 

And this too.
