buy an OEM (Suzuki) filter. cheep filters are just that full full cheep materials and carp bypass valves. if the bypass valve opens too soon then the filter is not filtering.
as long as its bike oil and 10w40 then its good to go. cheep oil change more often e.g. halfords semi synth bike oil i would say 3k miles but fully synth 3.5-4k miles. dont go beyond 4k miles on any oil. the oil might be ok but the cleaning/clumping agents are gone and its these that keep the internals clean by clumping all the nasty stuff together so it gets caught in the filter media easier. change the filter every oil change especially if your doing short journeys.
