I would think twice about the fram filter: /forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6137

Thanks.. just read the post... if not the fram, which one then? On that post no one really had an answer... what about the washer?

K&N oil and air filters are the way to go. At least for me they are.[^]

you don't have to replace the oil drain filter after every change. When I change mine, I wipe it with a clean rag and inspect it for deep nicks or cracks or see if it's bent. I've changed the oil twice this year and the washer looks like new still. On a side note, when you replace the oil filter (I use STP) dip your finger in a little engine oil and lubricate the rubber washer that is on the new filter.

On the home page of this group, the oil change process is listed. 2 questions... is the fram PH6017a for all zx6r bikes? (mine a 2000) and also, on the page it says that it is optional to change the washer. Is this true? I want to start doing my own oil, but as with a car, you need to change the washer every time...which is right?

thanks in advance.
