Original references

The HF553 replaces the original Benelli code 018.01.07.101.000: compare it with the one on the fitted filter before ordering. Some retailers list it without dots, as R180107101000.

When to replace the oil filter

Replace it at every oil change, or at the intervals given in your Benelli's manual. A clogged filter no longer traps dirt and worsens the lubrication of a triple that runs at high revs.

Fitting and tips

• Drain the oil with the engine warm and unscrew the old filter
• Lightly oil the new filter's gasket with engine oil
• Screw it on by hand until it touches, then tighten to the torque shown on the filter and in the manual
• Refill with oil, start the engine and check for leaks after a few minutes
