Support your local dealer first, but if you don't have one, get this on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Scooter-Oil-Filte ... oil+filter

You want this one as it has a hex bolt head on the end rather than the silly slot. At the level of torque that the Buddy requires, that slot filter is most difficult to tighten or remove without a special tool.

You are supposed to torque wrench it(forgot the lbs) but I just use a regular wrench and have had no problems. I wouldn't just hand tighten it.
PGO makes great scooters. That is all.

HF 197 has the 17mm hex head on it. You can get 10 filters shipped to you for $52.00

Note: the filter pictured is not the HF 197.
