1. I typically recommend full synthetic oil for anything that will be going over 10K rpms and not be out of the norm. If you do not ever go over 10K rpms, a synthetic blend is ok. I typically will go for a 10w-40 weight oil, it seems to last the longest and provide the least amount of friction regaurdless of weather.
2. Oil filters really are not that important, a standard FRAM oil filter will be good enough. 3. most engines will take around 4 liters of oil, it will say somewhere on your engine casing close to your oil filling cap.

There is a nice little site out there specifically for the Ninja 250, if you look around and search for Ninja 250 forums you should find it. Some great folks over there. They helped out a buddy of mine when he was working on his girlfriends Ninja 250. Very informative...

Now, it is a common misconception that sythnetic oil impacts the way your wet clutch operates. Most people presume that due to synthetic oil's naturally more "slippery" properties than conventional oil, that it will cause a wet clutch to slip easier, when infact the viscousity of the oil has very little influence on the tendency for a clutch to slip. 5W-20 would be a good oil to choose for a very cold weather climate if you can get your hands on it. 5W-40 would be a little bit more universal for all around cold->temperate weather. The first first number (in this case 5W) refers to the high viscosity at low temperates (the W actually indicates oil preficiency in cold weather applications), while the 40 represents the thickness and toughness of the oil at high temperatures.
