I've had good experience with the Bosch distance plus filters.
oil changed and one new Bosche oil filter later the car now has total oil pressure and runs great.
Wix and NapaGold (by Wix) filters of the champions. No filter or pressure issues for me since 1970.
If you are going to go with extended oil changes 10-20k miles you must use a high quality filter and if not a Group 3 Polyalphaolefin (PAO) oil, an actual full synthetic oil would be best. Mobil 1 and Castrol Syntec are not true synthetic they are (PAO) Group 3. Red-Line, Amsoil, and Royal Purple are the common true synthetics. If you paid less than $15-$20 a quart for oil it's not a true synthetic.
Your filter has to be high quality. Even then I would advise you change the filter and top off your oil at 8k-10k miles.
Oil filters that are able to go for extended runs are Wix, Napa Gold, and Bosch. Those are the 3 brands I trust for long term use. My truck with over 170k miles drives like it did over 13 years ago when I got it new.
Napa Gold is the same as WIX. Extremely high quality filters.
Wix. In 2003 Corolla and 2006 Rav4 + cheapest synthetic oil on sale every 5000km. Engine runs smoother. So smooth it feels like I can coast and maintain speed a lot of times. Which doesn't happen in my Subaru Outback with OEM filter and Mobil1 synthetic.
I use Valvoline NextGen high mileage synthetic blend 5w30 in my 1998 Tahoe w/ 161k miles. I usually use ACDelco or Wix filters. Depending on how much highway/city driving I do I change between 3k-6k (manual says 3k for city, 7k for highway) and five quarts go in, five quarts always come out :D. I used Valvoline full synthetic high mileage for about three changes in a row, but decided it probably wasn't worth the cost on such a high mileage, non performance engine. Plus, I wanted to use the NextGen when it came out. So far, I'm impressed with the recycled oil.
Bosch oil filters. I used them to desludge 2 engines, and it CONSTANTLY keeps pulling more and more out. Only problem, they are black, so leak detection can be difficult if its in a tight spot.
I use Full Synth Royal Purple and a Bosch filter. I drive a 2002 S2K and the RP oil keeps the TCT noise in check.
royal purple, amsoil, k&N, mobil 1 extended, bosch long disance are good for more like 25k or 35k miles
