Of course all the listed brands will work and most of us would never notice a difference. If a certain brand was going to destory engines, they'd be out of business by now.
Personally, I use Bosch. #3311 if you're curious, about 8 bucks. Their good ****, I have noticed cleaner oil after 3k miles then w/ my old napa filter -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife

QUOTE fram lacks the drain plug like other filters have. when you shut your car off the oil is suppose to stay in filter to keep some oil ready for start up. fram filters lack that and hard on engines because of it. thats a myth... if you change your own oil, its easy to tell. when you unscrew your filter, all that oil that pours out of it is because of the "anti-drainback" function

I use K&N and castrole 10W-30 full synthetic. I also change my oil every 2500-3000miles. My car runs like a jewel. I've always used the highest quality I can get, and fixed things as soon as if not before they break. Got to have love for your car.
