Has anyone tried an aftermarket oil filter?

Was looking at an American product, medical grade (why?) 404 stainless steel, lifetime use, impervious to heat, water and pressure.

Other advantages seem to be that it filters down to 35 micron (whats the standard paper one?) They also claim to have 'superior' flow through

Any thoughts?

Are you talking about Scotts Filters?

Is there an MV fitment?

Some mention of them is made here

Yes, those are the ones...with oil filters at $40 odd dollars, and say a change every 6000kms,...?

The HiFlo should be less than half that figure. Have yet to confirm availability for Champion Filter, though others say nay.

Tend to agree with the "difficult to properly clean" argument in the link I posted.

So are you saying there is a fitment available, or just toying with the idea of if?
