Filters: only Mann or Maule (check my spelling)

Oil: 20W50 in Kendal (dino), 15W50 or 20W50 in Redline (synthetic), 15W50 in
Mobile One (synthetic)

(Some people also like Valvoline or Castrol dino in 20W50, but Castrol
Syntec is said to be not truly synthetic, that they have been sued by Mobile
One for claiming to be synthetic)

Redline is said to use a higher grade stock or base than Mobile One, though
Mobile One is a great oil, Redline is just thought of as being "greater" and
more expensive. Kendal is said to be the only dino oil that doesn't use
reclaimed oil. Its high grade stuff and dino oils have the reputation of
being better than synthetics at cooling your engine, or taking heat away
from your engine. All of these mentioned oils are currently mixable (unlike
earlier versions of synthetic that could not be mixed with dino oil - always
read the label to be sure and safe)
