Synthetic oil has become much more costly in the past few years. I was paying about $45 for 10 quarts of synthetic and a Mann filter in 2019. It's now about $76 for the same.
Pros: Mann filter quality
Cons: synthetic oil costly

So I have the very first year of the 2.0L Skyactiv engine in my Mazda 3 (2012). I have only used Mobile 1 alongside Mobil 1 filters. Truth is these engines are pretty solid.
Pros: engines are pretty solid

Mazda 3

In comparison, my local mechanic shops charges around the same price but they don't use OEM filters so I rather go to my local dealership.

An oil change is no witchcraft, good oil (motul) costs about 40€ to 60€ for a 4L canister, oil filter about 10€. Oil change is done every 6000 to 10000 km, depending on the motorcycle.
Pros: good oil, easy change
Mileage: 10000 km
The Mobil 1 m1-103a filter is the proper filter for your car. It's a high capacity filter designed for synthetic and it holds a large capacity of captured material.

Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Part number: M1-103A
after all the helpful input here and talking tot he Mopar guys at the dealership I went with ( and will continue to only go with) the Mopar OEM filter and use the Pennzoil oil. Seems to be the best stuff for every 5k miles.
Pros: best stuff, every 5k
Vehicle:
Jeep
Mileage: 8000 km

Unless an oil filter relocation kit is installed then prepare for hand/arm damage every 5000km.

I swapped in a new Subaru OEM oil filter on my 2016 MT. After a short 1.5 miles drive, thin smoke escaped from beneath the hood, and a pool of oil gathered. Oil was literally burbling up from beneath the oil filter and spilling out. I immediately turned off the engine. I will not be using anymore of the junk OEM oil filters.
Cons: catastrophic oil leak, filter failure
Vehicle:
Subaru
