Oil filter recommendations?

I vote for the Fram Ultra Synthetic. Rated for 20k miles (not that I’d ever go that long).

I have been happy with NAPA Gold 51042.

Manufacturer of this is WIX...

Rated for 21 microns.

The NAPA Platinum is also rated for 21 microns, so Gold is good enough for my Tahoe unless Platinum is on sale...

I am whatever is on sale kind of guy. I've used Valvoline, Pennzoil, Kirkland, etc. I got a closeout deal on ACdelco filters off of rock auto so I have been using those lately.

Lately I've been using K&N. But I also like WIX and Mobile 1.

I think it was the NAPA Platinum that got top marks on one of the YouTube channels where the guys cut open filters.

The Wix number starts with the "5" and the NAPA filter drops that 5. Otherwise same number.

The longer filter is NAPA Gold 1522 filter or WIX 51522 (I use this one); the Wix can be found as the 51522XP with synthetic media.

I used to use Wix but not anymore since Mann bought them. Last winter I had issues with Wix filters on 3 different vehicles. Once the cold hit they all started seeping at the gaskets. In my 'hoe and 2 different 3.6 Equinox's.
It's not like I don't know how to tighten a filter either. I had to crank down all 3 extra tight to stop the seep.
I now use AC UPF__R filters in the fleet I maintain from Rock Auto

I've always used the Wix filters because I'm an Amsoil preffered customer and thats what they sell other than their Amsoil filters. But I gotta say, I bought the same Wix filter I've bought for years just recently and its visibly different from what I've used in the past. Same PN, but it looks cheap compared to what it used to be. I think the company maybe made some changes? Not impressed.

Because the European Co. Mann bought them out.
