Default Just curious what oil filter do you use?

Hey I was just curious if you all run the factory recommended filter from the dealer or use brands such as Purolator, Napa, Wix, Bosch, Fram etc....????

I use a Hi Flo filter that I get from AF1 racing for my priller and wa susing a stock suzuki filter for the TL and gsxr. I have heard good and bad things about the purolator filters so stuck with stock for the time being.

I've had a Hi Flo cut apart and from the looks of them are good quality even though they are really cheap.

A lot of the guys on the futura forum on aprilia forum use them and have had good things to say about them. I have used 4 or 5 of them so far and no issues.

I've used the factory filters or fram. I'm going to try the Bosch equivalent - not sure if that's who makes the OE filter (it might be Mann or Mahle).
