Halfrauds sell FZS600 oil filters for about £6. ("Champion" branded)
 
I buy my oil in Asda (who do a very nice 'own-brand' semi-synthetic 10/40 that ticks all the boxes).
2 oil changes worth for £15 (ish).
 
Hi-Flo are (were) a marketing outfit from Thailand who make filters.
They used to claim "TUV spec number xxxxx approved" - when you looked up the spec it covered the machining of the screwthread  :rollin .
Buy a cheap one ... I've never seen a properly oiled engine with a working oil pump fail for lack of lubrication.

I was lazy and couldn't be bothered to shop around so simply wandered in to Halfrauds (my new nickname for them courtesy of Major Rant ;)) and grabbed the filter and oil - I picked up some Castrol Power (or something) oil at the time but most seem to support low price oil and just change it more often :)

I just picked a filter up from a shop in Hull, he charged £5 and I think he gets them from WeMoto. Hopefully I've still got enough oil left from last time but if not I can get it from a shop at the top of my road ~£13.
