Oil change DONE!
08/01/07 at 11:48:55

Time for the first oil change!

After printing out the instructions (with pics) off our tech section, I need to know WHAT to order for the new oil filter.

My Clymers manual and Owners manual say exactly ZIP nada about an order # for that part. And the filters mentioned in the tech section just say EMCO, OEM.

What is that? Where can I get it? Locally? Cause I am planning to do the oil change this weekend.

If you want after market, you're going to have to search abit.

Is the EMGO Emgo PN 10-85900 correct? Emgo website says this filter is good for models thru 2005... Anyone here changed their filter on a newer model yet?

Not sure if you are aware of this or not, but OEM means Original Equipment Manufacturer (Suzuki). You can get OEM parts online (like verslagen1 said) or at the stealership. They SHOULD have the oil filter in stock.. I would hope!
You just might end up paying a wee bit much.

The OEM part number (as per Bike Bandit):
9: FILTER,ENGINE OIL 485535-001 $4.22
CORRECTION. That P/N is Bike Bandit's, not OEM! sorry!!

And the link.. if it will post up right.

Edited to clean up the link for display purposes.

Thanks Rob! Grin

Okay I called around to the whopping TWO parts dealers in town and got wildly different answers.

Hawks said $11.95 for the EMGO and $16.99 for KN and I would not have to change the filter but once a year because its so good. Uh huh.

Britt said $5.20 for OEM with tax, and that is my local stealership!

What do you all think before I zip out to get one?
Is Hawks blowing smoke (or smoking blow?)

(but shipping needs to be considered) and I didn't do a lot of looking for the KN Hawks is blowing a bit of smoke. Personally, I would go to the stealership if you are in a hurry.

So if I order them its cheaper. But they won't come in time for the weekend, which may turn into tomorrow the way Suzi is acting right now. Hoping the oil change will fix her cranky morning behavior.

Picked up the OEM filter for $4 after work at the stealership tonight AND 2 quarts of Suzuki MC oil for $2.99 If they keep this up I may actually start checking with them more often. Still no go for service though...

Old school thinking: always replace oil filter with the oil change.

Second thing to think about: Find out why their's cost 3 to 4 times as much as a Dealers OEM filter. There should be some marketing smooze to say why and if you believe it then spend the money. Remember the term "stealership", if the dealer is charging $4 and that is normally overpriced, the $16.99 filter should keep the oil clean and maybe wash the bike too.

As for cranky in the morning, don't forget to check the battery. Summer heat can lower water level and lower cranking amp's.

I am truly hoping it just needs an oil change...

I used to do quality control work on gas filters and of course oil is very different, but I wouldn't buy the cheapest filter out there. OEM specs are different than after market as I recall. Anyway, I wouldn't buy less than the OEM equipment! To me this is money is well spent if it protects the motor. It's interesting to see money spent on mods and then neglect the very basics to good performance.
