What Oil Filter Do you use ?

I use the Mobil 1 filter. Heck, I figure as expensive as it is, it must be good.

Wix

By far the best quality ( and expensive) IMO.

Baldwin B31 here. I was using the UPF44 until I found out how restrictive it is.

[itchynackers]

Yes, the napa filters are made by WIX. Cut open these filters when done and compare visually.

I personally like to stay away from the ac delco filter. But it depends how long you will wait in-between oil changes. If you use the ac delco filter, don't go more than 3k-4k miles before changing it.

If I will be waiting longer in-between oil changes, I feel more confident using the Mobil 1 filter. I feel it's much better quality than the ac delco unit. I would also use an Amsoil filter if it was easy to locate in stores. But it's not, so Mobil 1 for me. But there are many filters out there that are good.

You'll find this an interesting read. Enjoy!

On MY car, I saw ~4 psi MORE pressure at idle with the Baldwin versus the Delco UPF44.

Still using the stock filter, but thinking about switching to K&N next change.
