Ok, we've had fun I'll be serious. You're in Florida, if it were me I'd be running an SAE 50 weight oil, I lived in Florida most of my life and it's all I used with the Evolution and T/C's. Valvoline VR1 SAE 50 is around $6/qt at Autozone.

If you're looking for a physically smaller oil filter consider the PC Racing FLO PCS4, it's a permanent filter that works very effectively and looks good too You can read a review here: http://www.webbikeworld.com/t2/flo-oil-filter

They're currently around $90 but buy once, cry once. This specific PCS4 filter as moved from an Evolution Wide Glide to a 88" T/C Wide Glide to my current 103" '13 Wide Glide, I haven't bought a disposable oil filter in years

Didn't know oil was such a touchy subject, haha maybe it's the fact that it brings back the haunting memories of when you had to oil down your wife on your wedding anniversary-PTSD is real...but just keep in mind we're talking about bikes still AND the main reason I ask such a simple question(only to expect simple answers) is because I've read in previous forums that certain types of oil caused disruptions somewhere or something such as leaks or whatever, can't remember.....so this is me first time so me gonna try and do it right. THANKS TO ALL THE REAL RESPONSES and for the other responses...well...I don't know ahahaahhahahah

Wow, that bike looks like it came from showroom! So clean! I feel guilty about not cleaning my bike now.

For original question - Amsoil is really good and decently priced
