A quick look at the parts fiche shows the same part number for the 2013 and 2014 dlx air cleaner.
Although the owners manual shows using 10w-30 oil, the service manual also allows 10w40.
A while back there were reports of engine noises when using 10w-40 that went away when switched back to 10w-30. A reason was never determined. But we haven’t had any complaints about 10W40 for a while. Try it and see. You can always switch back.
As for me, I only use member Pterdactyl’s Hubris oil (out of Australia). It’s illegal here and I have it discretely sneaked in by the Mexican cartels. (You guys forgot about Hubris oil, huh?)
Yes and Castrol Power One 10W40 served me well in southern Nevada, Utah, Arizona and California, including Death Valley.
There many good oils, just be sure it is a motorcycle oil without friction modifiers which could cause clutch slippage.
There are some part numbers in post 5 of this thread, as well as air and oil filter comments.

Air Filter
For the CB1100, 171 CFM is required at 8,500 RPM.
1140 cc x 8,500 RPM (redline) = 9,690,000 cubic centimeters
Divide that by 2 for a 4 stroke = 4,845,000 cc = 171 cu ft per minute.
K&N claims a flow capability of 498.64 CFM...but it cannot be anywhere near fully utilized by an 1140 cc
The HiFlo HFA1932 was under consideration due to price. But the response from HiFlo is that they do NOT flow test. Don't know how they can claim the same flow as OEM, yet not test.
My airfilter was still looking new at over 12,000 miles.
