Below is a re-post from a previous oil filter thread.
I use a Napa Platinum 47060, its basically a WIX filter with Napa's name on it. Why do I use this filter over the OE filters? Its because there's a magnet in the center bore to collect ferrous particulates and the media is composed of a steel reinforced synthetic one.
Instead of me rehashing my "theory of all things filters", be sure to check out the link below and look for the posts from "JFT69Z" (the ones with the pictures).
