If you want to go aftetmarket I recommand using WIX filter they are good stuff
In my stable: The Nissans get OEM Nissan oil filters. The VWs get Mann The Mazda gets OEM Mazda filters The Mercury, Triumph, and the Toyotas get WIX.
I used to go for the Fram Ultra Synthetic (not at all the same as the cheap Frams), but lately I've been getting Bosch or AC Delco filters from the internet, as they're decent quality and very inexpensive (1/3 the price of a Fram Ultra).
I've used the Fram filter for the first oil change at 8K miles and the car sounded very rough for 10 minutes each time the car was started. Used WIX filter for 2nd oil change. No issues.
Pennzoil Platinum Synthetic 0W20 with a Fram Ultra Synthetic oil filter. Every car I've owned gets this (weight varies by engine requirements). Runs better and longer than M1EP, Castrol GTX, Valvoline MaxLife, and it's cheaper than Royal Purple and still can be bought at Walmart.
IMO, best bang for your buck is Fram XG6607.
I supplied my own oil filter, a Wix 57002 for my 2020 6.
Don't use Fram oil filters. Motorcraft/Purolator, wix, bosch, mann, etc... are good.
Also stay the hell away from Fram and K&N oil filters. They're crap. Go for Wix or Bosch.
On a side note, I literally had to destroy the Fram Filter to get it off the truck. I can now say never again.
