hi ive searched the boards all over and can't find my answer.

i have a 95 gs500 how many quarts of oil does the motor take? and what is the part number for the OEM oil filter?

what oil filters do you recommend besides OEM?

thanks

3.1 quarts.  I use K&N oil filters.

Or, Hi-Flow filters.  H-133, I think.

Wix 24931.  I wasn't initially impressed with Wix on my truck due to the color of my oil, but they've turned out to be very good filters.  Apparently, the change to AMSOil loosened some carbon or something, because while it was initially very dirty-looking for the mileage, but it's turned out to have done a good job judging from just a visual inspection.

I have a follow-up question.  Do the GS500F models (with fairing and oil cooler) have a different number stamped into the engine case here?

I use a Suzuki about $7 and make and make sure you change the o ring "Suzuki" some of the aftermarket one's don't fit very well.

The 2004-06 GS500F's have 2900ml's stamped on them.

This is an older thread....but my 2004 GS500f has 2600ml listed on it, which is less than the previously stated 3.1 qts. I put in almost exactly 2600ml's and the oil level is perfect.

I just put in 3 quarts for an oil change with or without an oil filter change.  I use Fram CH6000 filters because they're easy to get.  Specs call for a little over 3 quarts with a filter change and a little under 3 quarts without a filter change but that little difference doesn't make enough difference.  Works for me and has for 80k miles on the 97 GS and over 73k miles so far on my 02 GS.
