Best bang for your buck is NAPA Gold or WIX (Same thing). The best is K&N and Baldwin.

The long answer: K&N makes a darn good oil filter, and the magnet catches microscopic bits of (ferrous) metal that are (a) normal byproducts of engine use/wear and (b) would sneak right through the filter medium.

Mobil 1 filters are K&N's minus the nut and the price. There made by the same manufacturer.
