I love the K & N with the nut cap at the end. Makes it very easy to get on and off. I can change the oil in like 10 minutes.

I was going to change to K&N but now I think I will stick to the Suzuki filter.
Cheers

The tests were a eye opener for me.
I just did the Oil and filter at 4500 miles and I can't see using anything but what Suzuki recommends. Suzuki oil and filter for me. Hell they built it....I'm sure they spent a lot on research.
I also bought the suzuki wrench. it was $10 but I have it now and it works great.

Where did you buy the Suzuki wrench? I've been looking for it and cannot find it, and the dealer doesn't carry it.

Txs.

probably got it straight from the dealer I assume. Autozone/O'Reilly's has an open style wrench that isn't flimsy and won't break for under $10.

Yes, I got it from the dealer. It was $9.95. Ask them to order one for you. But any 68 mm cup style filter wrench would work I suppose. I have seen them online for $3.99 plus shipping.

I read one just like this and the purolator pure one ML16816 is the best for the money as it shows in the honda filter section at the bottom.
But i can't find them in stock around my part of the woods.
