Oil filter Fram or Bosch
I do a lot of miles in my diesel so I buy in bulk from rock auto and the shipping barely goes up
My last order I made sure to get all of the filters from the same warehouse while still getting good brands like Wix and Bosch
Id also pick up the Fram ultra filter
-Full synth Pennzoil oil and any of the Fram synthetic-friendly filters plus the BG EPR and MOA treatment before and after every change.
I always buy Bosch filters for both our VW's
I have no issue with their higher end filters, I'm actually running one on my wrangler currently but their budget filters are atrociously bad
Don't buy entry level Fram filters.
They got super cheap about 15 years ago and caused some of our club cars to have issues with pressure. So that was the end of that.
I have had two issues with Fram filters . One blow apart and another that loosened after the car was parked for a month
My girl and I were out one night in my pickup. 2000 GMC Sierra Z71 5.3L nothing special. Did a few donuts in the local parking lot in some fresh fallen snow. I didn't even thrash, just a couple easy revs for fun. Oil pressure dropped down a bunch. Turns out the GD element inside the filter blew apart and pieces of it were all over inside my motor. Took 4 oil changes to flush it out. Coulda been a lot worse.
used a FRAM on my Escape and I had a weird oil pressure issue where the CEL and oil can lights came on
