As far as I know WIX is the best filter you can buy. I read somwhere that they have the finest micron filtration. I run WIX on all my vehicles. They have great Air filters too.

If yours is a 16 valve the part # is 51348

More info goto www.wixfilters.com

I read somewhere (maybe here) that the Wal-Mart filters are pretty good filters.  That is what I used at the last change.

I use pennzoil.  I used to use the better longer-life filters.  I'd rather just replace a standard one more often now, plus it costs less.  I used to use fram tough guard.  Never had a problem with them, just don't know if i got any better advantages of using it or not.

Wix or a Napa Gold, are the best filters

I usually use K&N oil filters. they have a valve built in that keeps oil from draining back into the pan that supposedly helps prevent dry starts... Whether it actually works or not, I don't know...
