What is the best brand of oil filter out there?

I'm currently using a Fram filter, but see all the others out there. Wanting to know if I should switch or stick with it. Also, I am running Valvoline 5W-20 as my owners manual statesWhat is the best brand of oil filter out there?
Fram filters are overpriced garbage. Cut one open once and you'll see why. They use cheap cardboard endcaps and are prone to having the anti-drainback valve fatigue/leak a lot more prevalently than other oil filters. Some of the better oil filters out there are as follows: Amsoil EaO, Fram Extended Guard (actually uses metal endcaps, and a silicone ADBV), Wix (a.k.a. Napa Gold), Purolator PureONE, K%26amp;N, Royal Purple and Mobil 1. Also, it is not true that Havoline gums up your engine. My Acura is running strong at over 150,000 miles with no sludge/varnish or consumption, and I have used Havoline a number of times. Excellent oil with a Group II+ basestock, and a robust additive package.What is the best brand of oil filter out there?
Fram is one of the best and has been around for over 50 years, I have never had a problem with a fram in the 43 yrs. that I have been playing with cars, WIX is also a good filter.
I use Fram, but AC,Purolator, and Motorcraft are good filters..





I use Kendall GT-1 in my hotrod, Valvoline is good, as is Castrol...





DO NOT use Havoline, it gums up your engine....
I think a NAPA Gold filter is better then a Fram but its a little more money I have been running napa gold filters for sometime
i run napa gold filters and we run napa filters in all our equipment as well, they seem to do a pretty decent job, they may not be as well known as fram but i wouldn't change as of now
i like penzoil filters or mobile.
i like mobil, or k%26amp;n
