[Honda-C70] Re: Home Oil Filtering made simple

 

with the magnet drain plugs ive tried 3 brands from tall to short all have fit in mine

search on e bay if you can for yamaha zuma 125 scooter drain plug
thats what im using now its a tall silver one with safety wire holes in the nut
works fine

there is alos other places on e bay that sells the short types for a zuma 125 scooter

also honda ruckus, lifan 125 engines all use that same drain plug I can verify that myself at least on my 81 c70 engine they all fit

Then its passed through the thicker paper filter. Whole process takes over one day, about two days. I need to change filters when flow becomes too slow. The filter paper I found cheap A2 sheets (5 sheets per dollar) and I cut it into A4 sheets, folded it and placed in the plastic funnel.
