Both Wix and Purolator are made by the same company, Mann & Hummel so the top of the line filters (Purolator Boss & Wix XP) are about identical. IDK about the 20k mile one, haven't touched it yet but it should be on par or better than the Boss.
You can't go wrong with either as they are some of my favorite filters on the market due to how clean the internal construction & how solid the material quality is. The highest end Frams are fine to run but still not as good as Wix or Purolator, and nothing below Frams highest line is worth running imo.
Pros: clean construction, solid quality
Vehicle:
Nissan
Wix everything. It's the only filter I use in mine and customer cars. I've probably used 3,000 + over the last 20 years
Pros: reliable, consistent quality
I've had no issue with the WIX filters for my last two oil changes
Pros: no issue
i keep using wix and haven’t had any issues
Pros: no issues
Subarus are honestly for the most part pretty easy to work on. Oil + filter changes are very easy. 30 ft/lbs, only use oem or wix filter imo
Pros: easy to work on

DIY. Kirkland 0w20 full synthetic 5qt - 4-pack (20qt total) for $70. Buy a few WIX oil filters off Amazon for $10-12 each, and for $100 you can do 3 oil changes in your driveway.
Pros: DIY, cost effective
Use an M56 filter, it's slightly larger. Been doing it for over 2 years. Over the counter Pennzoil Ultra Synethic 5w30 is fine, I use Redline 5w30, it's slightly thicker at temp. For a filter, you can't really go wrong with Wix, Mobil, or Fram Ultra. If you watch a tear down of any of these, they're all virtually the same. Fram are built in America and readily available, the Nissan filters are covered in glue and made like total crap in my opinion. But those three should be made in America. Lots of oil filter brands use Fram filters and slap their name on it, Wix too in Napa's case. If you change it every 3,000 miles you can basically use anything as long as it's a quality filter. Personally had nothing but good things to say about Wix and Mobil. Only annoying part about Fram Ultra is the stupid grip they put on them makes my filter wrench slip right off.. But I've used all three and had no complaints.
Pros: good quality, readily available
Cons: grip makes wrench slip
Part number: M56
The $120 JiffyLube price is what got me doing my own changes….very therapeutic!
I enjoy it. Best GF-6A synthetic is 28$, best filter WIX is 10$, crush washer 25cents.
Disposal responsibly.
BTW the oil change places, use the worst filter and don’t change the crush washer…
CRV 250K miles. Burns no oil. Think it’s working ?
Pros: best filter
Cons: worst filter
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 250000 km
