If your not to picky about brand, you can go to advance auto and pick up a fram filter and the oil.

I've got an oil change worth of Amsoil I need to sell. Bought it in a pinch but found some Motul at that last minute, which is what I usually run. Interested?

there might be some private amsoil dealers who might be open...can search through their site.

or maybe call 303...IIRC they have sunday hours, and stock Amsoil and filters

What kind of bike do you have?

There are a number of automotive oil filters that cross over to the bikes.

I've run Mobil 1 15/50 car oil in my bikes without problem. Another popular one is to use Rotella diesel oil - neither contains the dreaded friction modifiers that make wet clutches slip.

Honda / Yamaha / Kawasaki - Bosch 3300 (available at autozone for about $8)

Suzuki - you may be SOL - but Wal Mart may have a fram motorcycle filter for you. Not my favorite for sure, but better than nothing at all.

NAPA should have a Wix filter that fits the Suzuki. Or, I have a couple extra Purolator ML16818 filters here which I think fit the Busa as well, I can bring on Monday.

I run T6 in my 950 and it works great. $20 for a gallon at Wal-Mart as opposed to $16 a quart for good synthetic motorcycle oil at any dealer. Although I wouldn't run T6 in a busa, find what works best for your bike.

i went with mobil 1 4t and a crappy fram filter, it was on sale at advance for 8.99 a qt. Probably stick with something like this in the future, amsoil is good, but the almost 13 bucks a qt isnt to great.. thanks for all the advice..

I will check tonight, and will give Jim @ TFOG a call in the morning to verify which ones are for a busa, with a little luck, there may be two. Will let you know.
