Which Oil filter for TL?

Which Oil filter for TL?
I've been using the Mobil 1 oil filter (model M1-M110). I've always used the Mobil 1 5-20 synthetic oil also. Is there a better filter alternative, or is the Mobil 1 the best available? Is there a Purolator Pure One filter available for the TL. How about a NAPA Gold filter? If the are available does anyone have good parts #'s? Do these filter and flow better than the standard Honda filter? Is there any concensus on filter and oil? I change oil and filter when the MID says to. Thanks for any input.

The Mobil 1 filter you have been using is a good one. Also consider the Purolator Pure One filter which may be slightly better. Fram filters have a lousy reputation which they so rightly deserve. Go to the Bobistheoilguy website for a ton of info on oil and filters.

One on the right for me
I use a pennzoil, but only because it doesn't cost me a damn thing. If I actually had to pay for an oil filter I'd use either the K&N or the Mobil.

After much much much research (especially through this site) I'm using M1 extended perfromance synthetic with the M1 filter. I'm no scientist so I don't know EXACTLY whats going on in my engine, but I bet it's happy and I have peace of mind.
As for cost, just look out for a big sale. You should be able to snag it all for $30-$50. You can go for another brand and save half your money, but I need to change only every 15k miles so it's peanuts to me if you consider other maintence costs for your car.
If you're really into saving money, do the oil change yourself. It was a piece of cake and so worth it. I got an estimate of $90 from a shop to do the same job. Saved myself $50 and I know I did the job right.

OK OK I know you're still thinking ???? "you gonna trust that and sleep at night?"
Well my plan is to change at 10K just to be safe.

I think it was Roadrage that did a detailed exam of the filters. Must be somewhere in 3G garage. Suggest you find it. Don't think he liked fram as I recall. I use STP2808 based on that analysis.

My point is that I would still buy an oil that was good for 30k miles and change it at 10k (if it still looked good, if not I would change it sooner), that is the way I am.

They're one of the most recommended OEM synthetic oils, in high end cars with complex engines so I give them credit.
But I will still change sooner than 10K. Here's my reasoning; I am also going to be going somewhat according to my MID. If for some reason during this cycle the MID shows my oil life running out quicker, I will change sooner. If this cycle seems longer, I may hit 10K....I don't think I will have any engine problems as long as I own this car. And I don't plan on keeping this car more than 5 yrs.
By the way most of you know that M1 EP is not available in 5W-20. I used 5W-30 this time (I know someone will tell me how bad that is, but I think I'm safe.) but there's new oil on the way.
