Good choice!
Idemitsu is a fine oil, but a bit spendy - any oil that meets the Japanese JASO standard (JASO FD/ISO-L-EGD is the highest rating) will be an excellent premix.
A fine filter, and a good choice to stick with a panel filter.
You couldn't find a better oil than Dexelia.
I would use the BG before the change, to ensure clean oil.
Keep browsing the site, particularly the DIY threads, there are some great tips there.
