Default Best oil filter?

I assume the Mitsu is prob the best to use. The dealer is quite a ways from my house, so either I stock up or find another filter. Any suggestions on filters that meet or exceed the Mitsu specs? Not interested in Fram or Mobil 1.

Im not sure how bad the Mitsu filter is but I would have to agree that Fram is really bad on on my last car I kept wondering why I would see dirt and fine particles on the dipstic and in behold it was the oil filter becaus I would change the oil every 3-5k on a brand new N/A car. after switching to another filter all was well.

Not that I have done any extensive testing, but I have used the Bosch Premium filter and Lubro Moly 5W40 or 0W40 without issue.

Hehe, hardly, but thanks.

From reading on other forums, the OEM/Denso filters get good reviews for flow rate, but are poor on filtration. Much like a high-flow air filter
