Whatever is available. Preferably penzoil or Mobil 1. I’ve used castrol, no issues. But all oil is the same ????????♂️ I also use the fram filter (the synthetic one that has the steel mesh wrapped around the filter paper)
Pros: no issues

I dont dont get all the hate for fram. We use them at work on the fleet trucks, ive always used them on my own oil changes and air filters. Like 10ish years of using them and seeing them be used and ive never seen one fail. And same with castrol oil, i use it and we use it at work and have never had any motor issues.
The only time we dont use frams is when we are out of stock and dont have time to order or fram doesnt make it.
Pros: never seen one fail
The high end Fram Ultra is probably the best filter you can get. It filters very fine particles that other brands simply don't. While not a fan of Fram filters, the high end ultra filter has nothing to do with the cheaper ones and is a very good filter. It does reduce oil pressure a bit, but that won't matter unless your engine is about to die. But as far as actual filtration, you will have a hard time finding another filter that will filter as well as that one.
Pros: filters very fine particles
Cons: reduces oil pressure
I used to go for the Fram Ultra Synthetic (not at all the same as the cheap Frams), but lately I've been getting Bosch or AC Delco filters from the internet, as they're decent quality and very inexpensive (1/3 the price of a Fram Ultra).
Pros: decent quality, inexpensive
Some of the reviews are iffy like for the Fram one. Ended up ordering the Fram Fresh Breeze let's see if that works it's been smelly turning on my AC lately
Cons: iffy reviews

Never ever ever ever use these Mr oil change filters, always get a oem,even frams suck.
Pros: get oem filter
Cons: frams suck
FRAM is well known for making cheap shit with poor pleating and cardboard drainback valves. Yes, they'll probably work "fine", but its yet another corner cut by SoA. But why settle for fine?
Cons: cheap shit, poor pleating, cardboard drainback valves
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
The original company that made them was bought out by fram and now they are all junk.
Cons: all junk
Just remember, you get what you pay for. I don't recommend buying aftermarket filters on Amazon or eBay even if it is the OEM or a name brand. The quality is spotty at best and some of the reportedly "OEM" and brand name items are likely counterfeit. I've bought some really sketchy filters from Amazon and eBay that made my 18 Elantra's AC sound like an airplane especially when on low settings. The Amazon one came with thousands of positive reviews and the eBay one claimed to be OEM, but both suffered the same problem. I swapped the last one out with FRAM cabin air filter from Advance Auto Parts and no more jet engine sound.
Pros: no jet engine sound
Cons: spotty quality, counterfeit items
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
Dont use a fram filter.... That will help a TON. There is a reason almost nobody uses Fram except walmart. I wouldnt trust the base fram past 3k period
Cons: Dont use a fram filter, wouldnt trust the base fram
