[QUOTE="torch, post: 1455439, member: 1295"] Amsoil 10W40 [I]motorcycle[/I] oil. Bosch 3323 [I]Premium [/I]filter. Note that Bosch has 3 grades of filters, the lower grades are measurably lower performing. A close second to the Bosch is the Fram XG7317, which has the advantage of being readily available at Canadian Tire. Like the Bosch, Fram has multiple grades of filter, the XG designates the "Ultra Guard", which is a good quality filter. Stay away from the lower grade PH7317. BUT!! Either of the above, and possibly any available aftermarket filter, won't fit the FJR as is. The oil filter thread adapter nipple must be turned on a lathe to take about 0.050" off the face of the hex. Otherwise the filter won't screw on [I]quite[/I] far enough and you risk a leak at the gasket. The 3323 used to fit, but Bosch changed the can to the same shape as all the other contenders a few years ago. Crush washers don't need to be replaced every single oil change. They can be annealed indefinitely. [/QUOTE]
