I've seen tons of quantitative studies on this, not just people's opinion... Time after time, I see the best filter is the Purlator Pure One (the gold one), so that's what i use in my R1, my truck, and what i used in my Trans Am....
As far as oil, the same studies always rate Shell Rotella T Synthetic, German Castrol, and Amsoil the best oils.... I use the Rotella T in my R1, CRF450R and in the TT T/A... only problem with it is that it only comes in one weight... some people are real finicky about that, but i wanted the heavier oil in the Trans Am because of the mass amounts of heat that is created by the turbos... Plus, its far and away the cheapest compared to the other two - $20 for a 1 gallon jug in WalMart

Truck get castrol and a motorcraft filter, bike gets HD products and the mustangs well they dont get any, yet. lol
I always ran Mobil1 and Motorcraft filters in my gt. Never had an issue.
