IMO, best bang for your buck is Fram XG6607.
Mobil 1 filters and Fram Ultra filters are good too. Just don't use the the cheap Fram extra guard filter. It's made of paper. The Ultra is higher quality
Used fram for 2 years and not a single issue
OEM Mahle/Mann are best. Next best is the higher end Bosch filters.
Use the right oil from Walmart or whatever and I used a fram oil filter. I used a higher end one then the standard orange box one. Never had any issues.
Yesterday I put 10w-40 in it since it seemed like it could help at least a little. It does have a Fram filter on it now.
Wal-mart typically only stocks the Fram filter (gross) for my truck. FRAM (avoid) is PH2. All of them are fine except Fram, unless you are in a pinch.
I certainly would never put in a Fram and would highly recommend to anyone to stay away from that company for your German product.
I just watched an interesting video on Fram and other filters last night. Part of the problem is that Fram doesn't use a normal bypass spring in case the filter gets clogged, and can lead to starving the engine for oil. It's also just a really crappy filter.
I was just doing research on this because my oil pressure warning started going off, someone had done a flow test and the Fram was one of the worst flowing filters they tested
