Is there a larger than stock OEM filter available that we could use in place of the 5GH-13440-61-00?

I'd like to use OEM to stay within the Yamaha Advantage oil program, but run something with more filtering area.

It's probably not a huge benefit, but even if it runs an extra couple bucks per oil change, there wouldn't be much downside.

There's enough filter area for 2 oil changes with the stock filter. Change it at each oil change if you're worried about it clogging. Use a synthetic oil if you think it gets too thick during startup when it's frigid out.
