I used royal purpel oil filter.

 

I went to Pep Boys today and I noticed they now sell:

Royal Purple oil filters made by Champ Labs that are similar in construction to the old style ACDelco Ultraguard Gold filters.
The bad thing now with the economi $15.

 

this is the picture you could reconnizer now.

 

this is the web if you are interesting.

 

I'm been doing a little research about oil filters and man are there some differences. Below is a chart I created and some spots are blank because I could not locate the information and it does not include all the oil filters that have been mentioned in this thread. I placed them in order of micron filtration but I understand that's only as good as the efficency.

So since I'm looking to use full synthetic oil and looking at this listing I'm thinking the Amsoil is the top dog. If I could get an expected life for the K&N filter then maybe it would go the other way. I don't think I'd wait 25000 miles though to replace my oil and filter but it's nice to know you're not in any rush.

And of course the Mobil website was useless in providing any real specs. The Wix website gave me the impression to change your oil filter at the manufacturers recommended intervals, no extended life. As for Fram, the lesser filter models start dropping efficiency quickly even though they are still rated at 20 microns.
