What Oil filter do you guys recommend? LS3.

Right now I am running the ACDelco UPF48R, Most of my other vehicles I run Amsoil filters, I am also considering K&N, and Royal Purple. What are your guys thoughts? I Run Amsoil Syn series oil in most of my stuff as well.
Thanks

Mobil one filter I use
I’ve watched tons of videos of how they perform and Mobil one seems to be one of the best all around filter.

Yes they do. You probably won’t see much if any difference on a good quality filter but as they plug up flow will drop or if you throw a junk Fram on there made out of cardboard and it decides to completely restrict flow then you may have zero pressure. I found that out the hard way on a car I bought 20+ years ago.

I'm running Amsoil 5w-30 Signature and a Royal Purple filter. I explain why in my video and give some links to other YouTuber videos showing why I prefer them.

Is the AC DELCO UPF48R a decent filter? I am not seeing to much on it during searches.
