Make sure you pair the oil with a high-quality filter. I prefer Wix.
Pros: high-quality filter

I've used Fram, Supertech, Denso, O'Reilly or Autozone store brands, WIX.
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w/20 with Wix/Napa Gold filters. -been relentless about 5k services, @45k now.
-just received my first ever Blackstone Lab analysis, TBN numbers were still extremely good. Blackstone advised me to push my next service to 7500 miles.
-the oil that was sampled, was still a very light Carmel color - I feel guilty throwing away oil that still looks this good
Pros: TBN numbers extremely good
Cons: feel guilty throwing away
Mileage: 45000 km
I use OEM filters on both, but I’ll use Wix filters if I’m not around the dealer.
Pros: use if not around dealer
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
I bought a 10 Wix filters off of Rockauto. Part #: 51394. Each one was $4.80 and shipping was $10. Came out to be roughly the same price as buying OEM ones from a dealership off of eBay and I would rather use Wix ones.
Pros: good price, good quality
Part number: 51394
I'm a WIX filter fan myself (though virtually anything that fits properly will be effective). If it were up to me, I'd go with a WIX WP10320. Rock Auto (.com) has them for $15 (+ shipping). They aren't charcoal, but electrostatic which is a bit fancier.
Pros: effective, easy install
Part number: WP10320
Wix is considered to be good, and it’s not expensive and readily available (can walk into local O’Reilly and buy off the shelf). Subaru OEM works if you’re close to a dealership or think to order it; I never remember to order and my local dealer is terrible, so I avoid them.
Pros: good, inexpensive, readily available
Vehicle:
Subaru
Stick with the wix, rebuilders of rotory engine's suggest that brand alone. Given the necessity of the filtration needed for those engines, that's all I use for k20, 404xxxkm and running strong!
Pros: strong, reliable filtration
Mileage: 404000 km
Right now I have Red Line 5w30 and a wix filter due to what I’ve read on forums
Wanna see what a Wix filter looks like after less than 10k and 1 year of driving. Notice how the paper media pulled away from the rubber support. Notice that the filter has been sucked in.
Cons: paper media pulled away, filter was sucked in
Vehicle:
Mercedes
Mileage: 16000 km
