Well boys you need to check this site out for a fairly decent study on oil filters. No, it is not Bob The Oil Guy either! GM Truck Central Oil Filter Study

Be sure to check this link and see who comes out on top... Filter Grade Sheet

√ Interesting read.

Which are the champion lab filters? M1 etc.

[Pete & Linda]

Looks like if I want a 2 Qt filter the NAPA Gold 1794 may be the way to go.

I use whatever Oemy recommends!

Champ Labs makes AC Delco, STP, Ecore, Royal Purple, Mobil 1, k&N and others. But, they built to the CLIENT'S specifictions not Champ Labs.

WIX makes NAPA Gold and Silver. They also make Car Quest's Blue and Red. Lastly they make Amsoil EAO and EAA filters but with a twist by using 100% synthetic media licensed only to AMSOIL from the Donaldson Corp.

Most of what I am posting is available on the net or I got from my contact at Champ Labs.

Here the grade sheet for those that don't want to look to far.

pretty eye opening, some of it is subjective but still informative. I've used Wix mostly over the last few years, occasionally Purolator..good overall choices

The person that wrote this article starts with "So in my quest to find the best oil filter ", but in overall grading gives price paid more weight in his averaging than to Media Surface Area or Media Volume. Something that most mechanics would have to argue with. Nice article, and if you are only looking for the best bang for the buck, and not the best product, it is useful.

It would be quite easy to take the base data, put it in a spreadsheet, and give each variable the weight that you feel strong about.

Yes, it would be quite easy to take the base data, put it into a spreadsheet, but then I'm not the one with the premise declaring that I am out to find "the best oil filter". The author's stated goal was exactly that. I certainly am not out to find the best oil filter, I could care less. I simply found it interesting that he would place a higher value on price than on some other items in his own test. Your mileage may well vary. Now I wonder how many will go out and buy his best oil filter conclusion, I know I won't.
