Default oil Filter?

What oil filter do you all use?
I know Purolator "Pure One" filters are the best.
I'm just trying to figure out which one I should get.

I got the PL14160 (the longer one) I hope it fits and is the correct one!
The shorter one is PL14162 I believe

These are the correct model numbers for my friends R1
thanks alot

Update.
I installed the P14160 Purolator "Pure One", which "Pure One" is the best filter and used Shell Rotella full synthetic 5w-40.

I've driven for at least 40 miles now and no problems.
But I was worried because on the right side of the bike theclear screen where you SHOULD be Able to see oil flowing in the engine.... I see no oil in it.

My friend has an R1 and when he starts his bike up you can see oil flowing.

WTF?
thanks

well it doesnt have ANY oil in the transparent clear window (on or off).
On my friend's R1 you cant see oil until you turn it on.
I KNOW I put in enough. It calls for 3.6L when installing a new filter.
I probably even put in too much.
Man, I would love to rebuild this engine and start fresh as well as diagnose any problems that arises.
I LOVE chokes now. Its like a decent option which will let you get the engine moving without having to disconnect fuel (and/or) spark, so that you can get oil flowing through the engine Prior to starting it on a fresh oil change or after a rebuild.
^sorry for the run-on sentance

^+1 1/2-3/4 sight glass level. With new oil, a flashlight is nice to have to view the window level.
