For my NAS rig, I heard (a long time ago ) the OEM filters were made by Wix. They also make Napa Gold filters. About 1/2 of LR Genuine, and available everywhere
I've used the K&N filters without issue myself. I like the nut welded to the top as well, nice when its time to take it off..
Back in Oct/Nov I had my oil tested and it came back with very high marks. I was curious if my oil would show high level of wear metals but it didn't. It also didn't show signs of coolant or exhaust gases. I was happy to hear that because my 90 is still on it's factory gaskets and seals. It leaks at the valve covers enough to be messy but it's not leaving a mess on the garage floor.
The point of reference that I go by is my 90 has 170K miles, of which I've put 140K over the past 14 years. I have always used whatever non-syn oil that is on sale with whatever free oil filter that comes with it. I also take it to my local tire shop for their basic $19.99 oil changes w/ free tire rotation.
I change my oil between 3K-5K miles.

I feel like the biggest key to longevity is drive these things and change the fluids often, not so much what fluid/filter within reason.
Nice. I just ordered a Black Stone kit and will be having mine tested pretty soon.
off topic but yeah you remind me I have tried twice within the last year to get them to send me a kit and it never arrived. wtf
I ordered a kit maybe mid last week and it came already.
Holy balls the lr filter is $40 ?
... and I want to see if the $8 filter can do the jonlb an OE $40 filter should.
