Is there any reason to choose one over the other? Both track and street use using Amsoil oil.

OEM Suzuki
K&N
Amsoil

I can get the OEM filters at discount.

Thanks
 
Any of those will be fine choices. Really if you are not doing any sort of long OCI in terms of mileage, I would go with the cheapest of the three.

Why?? Is this because you feel comfortable knowing an OEM filter is on or because you think an OEM will have better filtration and flow advantages over say a P1 or WIX?

Just curious.....

If any oil filter wasn't doing it's intended job, there would be premature wear. So any oil filter is better then no oil filter. Proving by disassembly and parts measurement, still wouldn't tell you if your oil filter or your oil was the cause of any motor wear.Claims that one filter works better then another brand is just like oil claims. Easy to make, and hard to prove or disprove.,,
 
OEM tends to be one of the better rated filters for Suzukis, problem is Suzuki has a weird thread pitch making it so you cant use any of the many car filters on the market.

The suzuki OEM filter is rated as one of the better filters out of the slim selection of filters you can get,
Quote:
A slightly better than average filter at a super-premium price.
however it does come at a price...

$14 or so is what I've seen them run for.

Like posted earlier, there's a way around that. http://balestech.com/filter.htm
