 10W40 any of your favorite to cheapest brands. I use what I put in my car.. Pennzoil.. 10W40, its usually cheap and I buy by the case and use it it all my vehicles  :thumb: The GS isnt picky  :icon_mrgreen:

Filter wise, most here seem to like the Fram.. comes w/ a good replacement gasket  :thumb: I always buy the OEM filter.. its like $5 at the dealer  :thumb:


~ 1990 GS500E Project bike ~ Frame up restoration ~ Yosh exhaust, 89 clipons, ...more to come...

~ 98 Shadow ACE 750 ~ Black Straight Pipes ~ UNI Filter ~ Dyno Jet Stage 1 ~ Sissy Bar ~

Rotella 15W40, Fram CH6000

The Fram brand seems to be the only brand that has a form gasket that fits.  The rest are too small and try to pop off when you install the cover.  :mad:
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

I dab of gasket sealant here and there and you can make the o-ring stay. shrug. i mean, if you -want- to use another brand of filters. :)
