The Indian oil filter was the same as the ATV's?
No.
If you go to the Victory parts catalog and enter the oil filter # 2540086 you will find a large list of vehicles, including ATVs, which use this filter. On that list you will NOT find 2014 Indians.
If you go to the Indian parts catalog and enter the oil filter # 2521421 you will find a short list of vehicles which use this filter. On that list you will find ONLY 2014 Indians.
Do you think Polaris would make the same filter with a different part # to justify their claim of different parts for the Indian?
They may have the same mounting thread and seal diameter and would appear to be the same, but until someone with the expertise and time to do so, tests each item and makes a comparison, I will stick to getting the Indian filter. How much are you willing to risk by using the non-Indian filter vs how much you save in $ ?
