Make sure to change the drain plug crush washer if you don't do at the dealer and get good quality filters (Bosch, Mann)

I don't understand why people are giving you a hard time for using FRAM, these filters in specific are actually pretty good and I've been running them myself for the past 40k miles (I only use them for 5k miles, though) without any issues.
Pros: pretty good, no issues
Mileage: 40000 km
chain driven and reliable, only maintenance they need is regular oil changes and you can do that yourself for \u00a335 with a jug of castrol and a mann filter
Pros: chain driven, reliable
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
It's fine. I just grab Fram TGs for ours as they're common and good for two OCIs and I never need a wrench. Rated at 15k minimum and I put 13k on them and Blackstone says I'm good.
Pros: common, good for two OCIs

Mileage: 13000 km
In my Turbo, I use what many consider the best oil for gdi engines, pennzoil ultra platinum 5w/30 with the oem mazda filter. Although some aftermarket filters have better filter media, none meet the 22 psi bypass valve specs on the turbo engine.
Pros: best oil for gdi engines
Cons: tiny filter
Vehicle:
Mazda
I typically buy OEM filters from the maintenance website section for dreamshop.honda.com
I set my order to be picked up at the dealer months prior to any oil changes. The filter is always blue.
Pros: OEM filter, always blue
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Replace filter (Mann/Mahle) every oil change.
Subaru filters are made by Fram/Honeywell, Supertech filters are made by Champion.
I had a 2002 Honda CR-V and the oil filter was mounted horizontally on the back of the engine. You had to reach through the RH front wheel well with the wheel removed or turned all the way to the left. Making a mess was completely unavoidable.
Pros: mounted horizontally
Cons: mess completely unavoidable

B5 Passat (and Audi A4, same gen), 1.8T.
Filter - a big-ass 1.5 liter spin-on - mounted at an angle, directly above the front subframe.
Remove from top, after relocating the coolant tank.
Strategically use absorbent mat (floor diaper) to contain the inevitable spill.
Pros: mounted at an angle
Cons: inevitable spill
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B5
