Mahle Oil Filter for 2018 Triumph Tiger 800 XCa

[Idaho Tiger]

I need an oil change and after researching various brands, I found that Mahle Oil Filters seem to work better than other brands at cleaning out particulate matter from the oil, but I am having trouble finding specifications for oil filters for bike models newer than 2016-17. This Mahle oil filter (Mahle OC 575) in the catalog says it fits the 2016 Tiger 800 XCa, but I have yet to find anything that verifies that it fits the 2018. I know that Triumph did a rework of the Tiger 800 engine for 2018, does anyone KNOW (no guesses please) if the 2018 800 XCa and the 2016 Tiger 800 XCa take the same oil filter? I want to get this right.
Sorry for the repost - I misspelled Mahle in the first post but could not delete it :-(

I have never heard of this brand.Apparently it is not available in my area.

Mahle online catalog

Mahle's online catalog does not cover 2018 motorcycles, it only goes to 2017. Incidentally, according to the catalog, the Mahle OC 575, fits my 2008 Bonneville T100. So, I would draw the conclusion that Triumph has not changed the filter size/type from 2008 to 2016, and probably not after 2016, either. I know you want to be SURE, though. I am sending a question to their Support people, to ask your question, and I will copy the answer here when I get it.

Maybe call the Triumph dealer and find out if it's the same filter for 2016 and 2018 Tigers. That will tell you if the specs(bypass pressure, etc) are the same and then you'd know if the Mahle filter would work.

I just got off the phone with the Triumph Dealer and the part numbers are the same for all the Tiger 800s and 1200s - so the Mahle OC 575 should work just fine - for half the price of the Triumph OEM Filter!
