95 RON is met with 89 (R+M)/2 octane. The engine has nearly a 12:1
compression ratio, so run enought octane. Listers have found a suitable
filter wrench at AutoZone. K&N makes an oil filter for your engine and
Fram may as well. With oil changes coming at 6000 miles, I haven't
worried about the filter.
