When changing your oil, do you use an OEM oil filter or an aftermarket one?

Just wondering what everyones opinion is. Do you buy the OEM filter from the dealership or use an aftermarket such as Fram or a store brand.When changing your oil, do you use an OEM oil filter or an aftermarket one?
The only aftermarket filter I buy is made by WIX. Fram is absolute trash. If your engine is over 100K and you havent owned it from day one, buy a WIX. If you really care about the car, go factory.When changing your oil, do you use an OEM oil filter or an aftermarket one?
Buy a good one at NAPA.
Aftermarket is ok. Just change it with oil every 3 months or 3,000 miles.
Fram.
I use aftermarket. Most aftermarket meet OEM standards. In fact, I believe Purolator makes the top ranked oil filters (which should be cheaper than what you pay for at the dealer)

Hey Dog the best filters to use on any car either foreign or domestic is FRAM,My 1979 chevrolet malibu classic with the 305 loves it to death and with FRAM you simply can't go wrong with those products.Try this website out and see for yourself,www.framautomotiveproducts.com.
Depends. If your car is a newer model and still under warranty, you may want to use the OEM. If it is paid off, or close to being so, use the after market brands sold at the auto parts store.

an aftermarket filter works just as well, I like purolator myself.
Napa or Wix filters are better than OEM. Baldwin also offers a good filter. Don't use fram those things are junk.
