Amsoil filter with the same oil.

Also magnetic plug and filter magnet.

But if you change every 3k, any good filter will probably work.

AMSOIL all the way!! I use them in my 2004 Toyota Sequoia, 1966 Mustang, 2002 Ford F150 crew cab, and of course the ZO6. Simply stated, AMSOIL makes great products.

K&N right now. I've only changed the oil & filter once (only 2700 miles so far) and the K&N was readily available at the local Advanced Auto. I will probably switch to Amsoil next time around.

Pure One Purolator w/ Micronic Filter. I buy this one because it matches the color of my EB.

I'm using AC Delco--however I've read that in a few places that Purolator makes a great oil filter, Delco is a great bang for the buck and Fram has really cheap construction...

i wasn't aware that fram's had such a bad rap-- i used to work with an engineer that help design the fram x2 and he said that thing would filter great up to 11k miles! said the only reason they downrated them to 9k miles was that they couldn't guarantee the quality of the filter material [they got from different suppliers, i supposed...]

anyway, i've used nothing by mobil1s and a 6 pack of UPF44's on my 03 and it looks like i'm gonna give the amsoil stuff a try on my 04-- as soon as i put it back together that is.

UPF44's. Two more left and then will switch to AMSOIL. However, I have never gone more than 4K between changes.
