I just picked up some Castrol Syntec 5 qts + K&N Filter @ Kragen for $27.99 and i thought about Mobil 1 filters.. What makes one better than the other?
I did my google search and found this:
Why it's a best pick:
Mobil 1 oil filters are fairly expensive, but their fully synthetic fiber elements do a much better job filtering small contaminants than the conventional paper elements found in cheaper filters. But despite their excellent filtering capability, these filters still flow well. The Mobil 1 oil filters are manufactured by Champion Labs and can be purchased at many retail locations. They are virtually identical to the K&N oil filters (which feature a welded nut at the end for easier installation and removal), but the K&Ns are harder to find at retail locations. However, if you can find a good deal on them online, the K&N oil filters are equally recommended.

He ranked Purolator PureONE Oil Filter as a better choice, which surprised me because i had no idea Purolatrs were "quality" filters. I see them @ Pep Boys and i assume they're the same as junk Fram filters..
Still curious, i did some more research here:

I don't think i can come to a conclusive decision on which one I'd pick since there is so much misinformation out there. What do you guys like?
