No it's not, some on here are oil and oil filter snobs. Any filter or oil that meets the standards for the Suzuki motorcycle is going to work just fine. Anything that goes above those standards does nothing extra to making the bike run better or last longer.dang,i just use super-tech or fram..is that a no no?
That's what you think. What's the difference between toilet water and distilled water? What about well water and sea water? They're all still water, but there is a big difference. Bad analogy, Nex.No it's not, some on here are oil and oil filter snobs. Any filter or oil that meets the standards for the Suzuki motorcycle is going to work just fine.

Like I buy the store brand bottled water when I buy it. Others spends 2x or 3x that for a "brand' name water saying it's better. Guess what it's all phucking water.![]()
I was talking about drinking water only. So yes it was a great analogy.That's what you think. What's the difference between toilet water and distilled water? What about well water and sea water? They're all still water, but there is a big difference. Bad analogy, Nex.
I would argue with you, point out the different mineral concentrations of various waters' TDS(Total Dissolved Solids), and the differences in the structures of water molecules... but I dont think you would understand.I was talking about drinking water only. So yes it was a great analogy.
All my years of doing oil changes I've not had one single problem with the Fram oil filer. Though, I'd like to know why you say it's bad.FRAM = bad.
That is all.
Will drinking one 8 times a day be better for you then another?? NO it won't. Drink 8 glasses of clean drinking water a day and you'll live and be healthy. Spending 2x, 3x or 4x more for a "fancy" name spring water to drink 8 glasses a day isn't going to make you healthier or live longer. That's my point.I would argue with you, point out the different mineral concentrations of various waters' TDS(Total Dissolved Solids), and the differences in the structures of water molecules... but I dont think you would understand.
Still a bad analogy...:nana:
Point taken. Though some would say the difference is like the difference between Patron and Jose Cuervo tequeeelahs. Whether the costs reflects or is proportionate to those 'minute' differences is quite subjective. They both get you buzzed equally fast.Will drinking one 8 times a day be better for you then another?? NO it won't. Drink 8 glasses of clean drinking water a day and you'll live and be healthy.

You like the lead, fluoride and chloride content too I suppose... :dontknow:solidONE. Re: FRAM -- They cut too many corners for my taste. Look at the photos online... some guy cut up a bunch, and the Fram is among the cheapest (as in flimsiest) made. Cardboard endcap, really weak plastic valve, smaller-than-average filter medium, etc. Maybe it matters, maybe not, but the product just doesn't look right to me. Plus, too many anecdotal horror stories for my taste. Just my opinion; I know others will argue this.
I like the Suzuki filter, and my dealer gives me a pretty good price. People seem to like the WIX filter, too. Maybe I'll try one.
I like tap water.
