    Trust me, using an automobile oil with additives will eventually glaze your clutch plates and make your clutch slip prematurely.

        Super Tech's good stuff, especially with 2K/3K oil changes.

        I was doing the every-other-oil-change routine to change the oil filter but when I got back home from the XS Southeast rally last year the oil filter media looked a little cooked and was starting to get fragile so I stocked up on WIX filters from O'Reilly's.
        I'm still thinking about whether I should change the filter during every oil change or try to stretch it to two and find the engine was force fed baked and flaked filter.

        .
        I went to their website but i couldnt find them...all the search would give me was results for cars...NAPA does have them but they are not made by Wix

              You have to go in the store to order the filters at O'Reilly's. Their web site will just keep asking you to select a year/make/model of car, then tell you the part doesn't exist.

              NAPA oil filters are all made by WIX.

                            After you create an account at NAPA Online and select your local NAPA store, just put "PS4933" in the Search box and it'll tell you if they have one in stock.

                            If they do have one in stock, change the number of filters you want and it'll tell you the price or say, "Call Store for Availability" if they're not in stock at the local store. Jump through the all of the hoops to Reserve the filter for pick-up at the local store, then print it out like it tells you to do and bring the printout with you to the store.

                            You can also have the filters shipped to your house. I have not used the ship-to-home feature from NAPA so maybe you can be, like, a pioneer or a scout?

                            BTW I just picked up a 5 quart container of Walmart Super Tech 20w-50 for $12.72...
                            That so totally sucks pond water through a swizzle stick. I can't get that stuff here any more except in individual quarts if I'm lucky.

                                Well I'll tell you Ben, I'm not an engineer. I'm just a cheap lazy azz and this is cheap and easy.
                                you'll have to do the technical research your damn self.
