I've been using Castrol high mileage 5w-30 lately with Bosch oil filters. I suspect I don't actually have the one I wanted, just the Bosch model fits my V. I think their premium line is supposed to be similar to the Filtech design. I added the appropriate amount of Marvel Mystery Oil to the pan about 100 miles ago. I haven't been calculating mpg, but notice the b20 engine runs smoother.
Pros: engine runs smoother
Mileage: 235000 km
I went with Valvoline 20w50 conventional oil and a MANN 719/5 filter.
Part number: 719/5
I use Mobil one and a Bosch filter on my 18 turbo. It's the same thing I use on every car I've ever owned.
Also running a Mann or Mahle Oem filter is good insurance for keeping pressures happy.
Pros: keeping pressures happy
I use only genuine Toyota oil filters, you can see and feel the quality, they even come with a pre-lubed "O" ring gasket.
Pros: high quality, pre-lubed gasket
Vehicle:
Toyota
I paid $15 for the oil filter and gasket from the dealership. When I opened it up it says Mann on the filter. Lol I paid $35 for the 5w40 oil. Mann cabin filter for $6. Since it's at 40k I bought a engine air filter as well for $10..Mann brand. When I first got the car is was $50 which I didn't mind but then they doubled the price. The first time I changed it the filter was so bad, which made me believe they never changed it. Now since I do it myself it never looks that dirty.
Pros: easy to change, good quality
Cons: price doubled

My XJ channels its ww2 roots with Ford diesel oil and an FL-1A filter.

Cons: poor quality
Vehicle:

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
