Personally I use Fram's Ultra as it's shown to filter great and allow flow great for the price point from tests performed.
Pros: filter great, allow flow great

The Lucas product and Royal Purple (or any QUAILTY oil) changed at 3k intervals are great, just make sure not to cheap out on the filter, Fram Titanium or Bosch are your best value in a 20 micron level filter, with the Fram being the higher flow rate of the two.
Pros: higher flow rate
Have used FRAM oil filters for 45 years, GMC trucks, VW, Honda, multiple Nissan trucks and never an issue all engines lasted till crashed or sold.
Pros: never an issue, long engine life
Also, I would just use Fram ultra synthetic for 5k mile oil changes. It has 99% efficiency at 20 micron, so it’s fine, and its 20k mile rating is obviously more than enough for 5k mile oil changes.
Pros: 99% efficiency at 20 micron
Mileage: 5000 km
I’d just get the standard FRAM, WIX, or so on if you wanted better airflow. If you don’t have bad allergies I’d just get regular since the benefit isn’t really noticeable otherwise, and then you get worse airflow.
Pros: better airflow
Cons: worse airflow
Ewww Fram filter…
Cons: low quality
The oil filter *would not* come off and just got crushed when I put a wrench on it. I ended up cutting it apart to use the oil passages to turn it, and when I cut it up I discovered that the oil filter was completely empty besides a small cardboard tube.\n\nThat filter looked like a FRAM, but instead of a filter had been filled with a roll of toilet paper.
Cons: completely empty, filled with toilet paper
it only lasted 600km before I had issues with oil pressure.
Cons: short lifespan, oil pressure issues
Mileage: 600 km
Don't buy entry level Fram filters.
Cons: poor quality
They got super cheap about 15 years ago and caused some of our club cars to have issues with pressure. So that was the end of that.
Cons: super cheap, pressure issues
