I've seen more aftermarket (fram, stp, etc) filters that are crushed down towards the center of the filter :thumbdown:. They do not seem to flow as well over time.
Pros: factory oil filter better
Cons: poor flow over time

Never use Fram Oil Filter.
Cons: never use
If it has a Fram oil filter on it (filter is located below the coolant expansion tank) then walk away.
Cons: Fram oil filter
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B5
My '94 Celica with 256k miles never knew it to be true. Good ol' Fram orange is pretty much all I've ever used, though I did switch to the "high mileage" ones somewhere around 225k. That's what's on there right now.
Pros: reliable, long lasting
Vehicle:
Toyota Celica
Mileage: 256000 km
Don't use Fram oil filters. Motorcraft/Purolator, wix, bosch, mann, etc... are good.
Pros: good
Cons: Don't use
Also stay the hell away from Fram and K&N oil filters. They're crap. Go for Wix or Bosch.
Cons: crap
On a side note, I literally had to destroy the Fram Filter to get it off the truck. I can now say never again.
Pros: never again
Cons: had to destroy
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Silverado
Mileage: 195000 km
Never felt any substantial difference from the changing of the oil itself but did notice that using a regular Fram filter made for a shaky idle in the '89 Integra I had. Changing the filter back to an STP made the wonky idle go away.
Pros: STP filter fixed idle
Cons: Fram filter shaky idle
Vehicle:
Acura Integra

Vehicle:

Mileage: 2414 km
