I just find it awfully easy to choose the spec. the manufacturer states, it takes all the guessing out of it. I find the biggest impact on my bike for gearbox smoothness is the correct adjustment of the chain slack.
I believe that is actually the info that I referenced when I made the oil/oil filter cross reference table thread for members. Lots of info on that site

This was the thread. In hindsight I don't think i used the proper verbiage to explain why the 10w-50 is used over 10w-30 according to my bike shop.. but I was just trying to relay the info at the time lol.

The list of filter serial numbers should still be accurate though
