Oil filter AMSOIL or VALVOLINE
I'm running the amsoil remote filter, it will help with your oil quality.
Pros: helps with oil quality
I installed an AMSoil satellite oil filter. I change it out every 15k and change my oil and primary oil filter at 30k.
Pros: extended filter life
Mileage: 15000 km
I've tried a number of different filters from OEM, Purolator, Amsoil, and Prova. I will say this. When I used the Amsoil filter and did an oil change, the oil came out looking like it went in. So no, not all filter are created equal. I haven't done an oil change with the Prova yet. Not driving as much with WFH.
Pros: oil looked clean
Cons: not all filters equal
Vehicle:
Subaru
Changed oil at 7556 miles with Amsoil Signature Series 0w20 and an Amsoil filter. I've noticed over time that the oil in the Honda has darkened faster.
Cons: oil darkened faster
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 7556 km
Amsoil signature series is good for 1 year/25000 miles, and the Amsoil ea filter is good for the same. It is cheaper too. Amsoil has been proven many times over to work.
Pros: proven to work, cheaper
Mileage: 25000 km
AMSOil Signature oil and their filter, AMSOil trans fluid.

I run AMSoil European Blend (specifically for VW,AUDI, BMW,) and the filter as well. I change my oil around 4-5K depending on my driving during that time. My oil always comes out slightly 'browned' .... never dark.
Pros: oil comes out browned
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 5000 km
I run the 5w30 Amsoil 15,000 mile stuff in our 1.8t... it gets changed once a year. Every 4 months i put a new filter on it and top it off. The samples i've sent in and been returned all looked good if the car is just a driver with some occasional track time i wouldn't sweat running Amsoil or any other really good synthetic 10k or more.
Pros: samples looked good
Mileage: 15000 km
amsoil makes a filter that filters better than stock
Pros: filters better than stock

The "valvoline" brand ones are pretty shit.
