I did my first oil change the other day and I opted to use a Mobil 1 M1-110 filter as they are fairly common and larger. (I like to have more oil and more filter, keeps things cleaner)
My bike is a DCT and I did the DCT filter as well. Once I had the drain plug, dct cover and oil filter off I rocked the bike to either side and got even more oil out than it just sitting on the side stand or center stand.
Threw in new filters and sealed up the oil drain and started adding oil. at about 4 liters I thought I could see a tiny bit of oil on the bottom of the dipstick, I took the bike for a spin to warm it up and get the oil pumping through the new filters.
Came back put it on the center stand waited 10 minutes and checked the oil. I had to put in another .5 liter until it showed at the full line on one side of the dipstick (Dipstick goes in at a weird angle and the 2 sides of the dipstick show different readings, I went with the side of the dipstick facing down into the oil)
The M1-110 filter doesn't appear to be that much bigger, but the dipstick levels look good with 4.5 liters in there, was not expecting to be able to get that much in there.
