Favorite Oil & Oil Filter

Interesting I didn't know that. So do think at idle/low rpm the bike might not create enough oil pressure to open up the valve?

I have no reason not to, but a lot of after market products are actually better than the OEM. This might not be the case for oil filters, but I was just curious if it was. Thanks a lot for the input though, I might be going with the OEM filter anyway.

mobile 1 synthetic 10w-40 with mobile 1 filter M1-110
the best!
Mobile 1 is expensive...50+ bucks for everything. But they have a good rep. and i've used them in my cars for years
question: how many miles can i go on synthetic oil? is it 5000 like car oils or should i change it at 3000?

The manual says 8k on regular oil. I'm not going 8k between oil changes on my bike or with regular oil. No way! I use synthetic, (rotella t6 synth, at walmart for $22/gal), and change it at 4-5k tops. Thats every 2 months for me, 9 months out of the year. I ride a nice canyon commute twice a day (100mi a day), 6 days a week.
Change it after however long you want, just be consistent. Do it at least every 6 months if you dont ride that much.
I'm of the thinking that Oil is cheap, motors are expensive.

i use suzuki full synthetic, and honda oil filters, i dunno.. seems to work
+1 oil is cheap motors are expensive
depending on what kind of riding you do your oil will get destroyed quicker as an example in this video, higher revs do a number on it.
the smoke is oil of course.

I think I will buy a OEM Honda filter, I'm not sure about the oil though. Probably the best I can afford. I wont be using car oil haha.
Thanks!
