1. Collect the vehicle and part details
Record the full vehicle model, model year and market version. Use the vehicle's OEM parts catalog or service documentation to identify the relevant filter number; distinguish a model year from a registration year. Photograph the installed filter and any markings before disposal.
- Copy the complete OEM number, including suffixes, hyphens and leading zeros.
- Record any documented part-number supersession instead of assuming a similar number is equivalent.
- Note the element dimensions and sealing arrangement. Compare these with documented requirements, rather than estimating them from a photograph.
2. Read a real UCH catalog entry: UA2084
The following fields come from the UA2084 record supplied to this build. They are catalog references, not a confirmed fitment for every vehicle with the same model name.
- UCH reference
- UA2084
- Catalog brand / grouping
- Yamaha
- Model / catalog note
- MT-07
- OEM cross reference
- 1WS-14451-00
- Hiflo cross reference
- UNKNOWN — not provided in the catalog
No Hiflo cross reference is listed in this entry. Leave it UNKNOWN; a number from a nearby catalog entry is not a substitute.
The model note can help narrow a search, but an entry without an explicit year range does not establish year coverage. Confirm the exact vehicle year, market version and OEM number before comparing the element.
3. Compare the physical interfaces
- For an air filter, compare the outline, height, locating features and seal profile with the airbox.
- For a spin-on oil filter, check the documented thread, gasket location, overall envelope and required operating specifications. For a cartridge, compare the housing, end faces and seals.
- For a fuel filter, check the system type, connection sizes, flow direction and documented pressure and fuel requirements.
Matching one dimension, a photograph or a partial part number does not complete this check. If catalog fields conflict with the vehicle documentation, resolve the difference before selecting a part.
4. Keep OEM and Hiflo references separate
An OEM number identifies a vehicle manufacturer's part reference. A Hiflo number is another catalog's reference. UCH shows them as cross references for comparison; the listing does not establish a vehicle-year fitment guarantee or imply that the manufacturers are affiliated.
OEM and Hiflo numbers are cross references. Verify the exact vehicle year and dimensions before ordering.
5. Send a useful enquiry
Include the UCH code, complete OEM number, exact vehicle model and year, market version, and measurements or photos of the installed part. Ask which sealing or mounting details still need confirmation. Keep any unresolved dimension or year coverage marked UNKNOWN.
