I can't tell you if there's much difference between one oil filter and another in how well they filter the oil. I trust the Fram brand, and just buy their mid-range filters to go with the Mobile One synthetic oil and longer oil change intervals that I prefer (10k miles or 6 months). I do like that these filters have the grip built in on the ends I can often unscrew the filter with just my hands, it's easier to properly hand-tighten the filter when installing, compared to a smooth and possibly oily standard filter.

It's a good oil filter, that's why I've ordered 6 more.The non skid end makes getting a grip on it so much easier.
The lubricant additive that's built in seems to provide that added protection...;-)
Best Deals for Fram HM3593A High Mileage Oil Filter, Pack of 1
I can't understand what Amazon is doing with these filters. I've gotten them for under $5 and then a week later they're almost $8. Crazy. Regardless, it's a good filter and if the little gel thing really works you're pretty much good to go. It's a question of buying this filter or the high mileage oil with the additives package--you have to find out how to do things more cheaply. Considering this filter is $3 to $4 more than the regular old Fram, and high mileage oil is $3 to $4 more than the regular oil, you need to wait and see what goes on sale.I do like the Fram rough finish on the cap. Makes it sooooooo much easier to get the filter off.
