At local stores (Autozone, PepeBoys) I see

ProLine (2 to 3 USD)
Fram (4 to 5 USD)
STP (3 to 4 USD
Bosch (5 to 6 USD)
Mobil 1 (11 to 12 USD)

Cheapest is ProLine at 2 to 3 USD.

They all look the same externally and feel the same in terms of weight except for Mobil 1 where you can really feel that it is heavier. Mobil 1 oil filter seems to be designed to be used with synthetic oil.

Now you can also order online from FCP and the like your Mann oil filter.

Since oil is changed so frequently every 3K miles, is there really a big difference in using one filter versus another?

Which oil filter do you use?

Thanks in advance for the recommandation.
