If you are looking to save some $$$ and still want Synthetic, look into Shell's Rotella T-6 oil. Fully synthetic. Dirt cheap!

I know! I wanted to get the shell since everyone recommends it so highly, but for some stupid reason no stores near me sell the T-6 10w40, it's only 5w40 or 10w30.... so annoying. lol

Also if you really want to give the best for your bike, you can actually do a better oil filter for cheaper by going the car filter route.

You can use the dimensions on that page to match up with section 5 on here (it's near the bottom):

That page hasn't been updated in a while but it's still useful.

Very helpful, thank you! Next oil change i'll consider that!
