What Oil Filter Brand Do You Use or Recommend?

I came across this article on oil filters and found it interesting. Looks like I won't be using Fram anymore. Does any one have any suggestions?

Thanks,

I use Fram and have never had any issues. I use Wix though on my j10 and Valiant.

I used to use Fram all the time. After reading that article, not sure if I will again. Did you get a chance to check it out?

not fully as I am at work. There have been articles and threads like this on other forums as well. Some people have good luck with some brands over others. Some just don't.

I used to use Fram until the filter came unglued and caused an oil pressure problem.
WIX is the only thing I use now. A little more expensive but worth it.

On my other forums news of crappy Fram filters spread like wildfire a couple years ago. On my cars I use Advance Auto filters lol
