Mobil 1 Extended Performance 10W30 w/ Lube Control's LC20 and Valvoline Synpower Oil Treatment @ 7500mi intervals with Purolator PureONE filters.
Lice Locket:
Though it may not make any noticable difference, FRAM filters are notorious for their poor construction (though, I haven't heard any FRAM failure stories). Honda PCX filters (the one made for the s2000) is a good quality filter made by Toyo Roki in Japan (JDM y0!). Anyway, one thing I have found to be invaluable is Mechanix gloves... they help with twisting off really hot oil filters.
You, however, might ask why I don't use the factory filter. I use PureONEs as they filter better than the factory one. Some say that the PureONEs are too restrictive, but there have been tests done at bobistheoilguy that prove that these filters aren't by-pass crazy and that the only sure fire way to do it is to run cold-as-balls 20w50 through 'em at startup.
