I buy Bosch filters through Rock Auto and oil during the Fleet Farm Black Friday rebate sale so my oil changes cost less than $10.
Pros: oil changes cost less

The Euro oil (which I seriously doubt Valvoline used) is about $30 for a 5q jug + $10 for an extra quart, and a Bosch filter about $15.
Pros: easy to find
Vehicle:
Audi
I tried to buy a filter, a bosch is a decent choice, but I wasn't able to find it, or I should import it for 100 sar ( which is expensive, most filter sold for 20 to 50 sar where I live - saudi arabia -)
Pros: decent choice
Cons: expensive to import
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Make sure to change the drain plug crush washer if you don't do at the dealer and get good quality filters (Bosch, Mann)
Pros: good quality filters
The oem filters are kind of pricey here so I use bosch or fram ultra synthetic
Pros: good alternative to pricey OEM
Cons: OEM filters are pricey
Vehicle:
Subaru
I believe there was a technical bulletin about this, recommending that the VW installations of the 1.8T be run the way Audi, who wasn't have the issue, was running them. So that meant using the much larger diesel Rabbit oil filter, like the Bosch 72174, or the Mann or Knecht equivalents, which upped the oil capacity of the engine, and then running only synthetic
Pros: larger oil capacity
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: 72174
I looked up filters and Bosch was the superior brand. I use my military discount and buy six at a time through Home Depot since the Mrs. Edge and my son's Escape take the same filter as my 2.5L Maverick. IMO the filter is as important as the quality of oil.
Pros: superior brand
Vehicle:
Ford Maverick
I do a lot of miles in my diesel so I buy in bulk from rock auto and the shipping barely goes up
My last order I made sure to get all of the filters from the same warehouse while still getting good brands like Wix and Bosch
Pros: good brands like Bosch
I always buy Bosch filters for both our VW's
Pros: consistent quality
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
The current Bosch 3323 oil filters are now made in Mexico and filter quality has decreased. I don't use the current Mexico made Bosch - I cut one open and it was a bit different than US made older ones.
Cons: decreased quality, different design
Vehicle:
Honda Pilot
Part number: 3323
