About to do my first oil change on my 09 510te. Wanted to know what brand and weight oil people are using and specifically what volume it took. I will be using a scotts stainless steel oil filter.

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

I leave 300ml in the second of two 946ml bottles of 20w50 Amsoil MOTORCYCLE oil - level ends up midway between to markers on sight-glass with filter change.
If you feel like it - pull the decompressor lever and spin the motor with the kick lever 30 times (i use my hand) and this will give you the same level as a dry start and 10 min wait.
Works for me.

Excellent choice on the TE 510. 
I have been running the Scotts SS filter since the first oil change, less then 100 miles. I eyeball about a liter and a half of the Motorex 10w60. The sight glass sure is handy. Enjoy that beast.

The SS filter has been working great for me. I have switched to Shell Rotella 5/40w synthetic and that is working good for me to.
I use a rubber cork from the hardware store. I plug the opening of the filter and soak it in some simple green purple degreaser and then spray it off with the garden hose to shed any debris. A dry off with the air compressor and thats that. My DRZ has a SS filter to. They are well worth it imho.
