[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1455431, member: 19880"] I would stay away from automotive oils - even if they don't say "energy conserving" or similar. Some people use them without issue - do you feel lucky? K&N filters are probably OK for the most part but there have been issues with the nut welded on the end - sometimes leak. I like the Mobil 1 filters and even the higher end Fram filters are OK (cheap ones are crap). Wix is decent, Hiflo etc. Might want to check out the Canadian Tire brand - I haven't used one on the bike and don't know the baseplate design. Just make sure it has appropriate specs for the bike and that the base plate is an "innie" not an "outie". Bosch used to be a favorite until they went to the convex baseplate. Same with Purolator.
