Default Oil change.....is this decent stuff?

When I got my bike it came with a very rounded drain plug - since it was messed up I took it to the shop with new drain plug in hand and had them do the oil change.

Now the question is to let them keep doing it or do it myself.

The stuff they used was



CASTROL Act-Evo 4-Stroke Motorcycle Motor Oil

* A premium quality, synthetic based 4-stroke motorcycle engine oil.
* It's Active Protection Molecules cling to the engine and transmission parts, leaving a protective film that is active in any condition.
* Gives continuous protection during start up and warm up when other oils are not fully effective.

and the filter was EMGO brand, which looks kinda cheezy but after reading about them they seem decent.

The cost isnt a factor....just wanted to know what anyone thinks of this oil and filter....decent, so-so or crap. I know oil is very user-opinionated.....but I though I would ask anyways.

They charged me about $28 for the oil change.....$5 a quart x 3...$15 + $5 filter + 1/4 hours shop rate $8 = $28.
