Go to Genos and get your filters from them. Best parts, best price.

For oil, pick the one that best meets your particular use, and change it accordingly.

A lot of people get hung up on agonizing over the best whatever. Pick one of the top 3-4 brands, and you'll do fine. Unless you're racing or pulling - really running it to the ragged edge - just follow the factory service recommendations and enjoy the ride.
