#1 XG5 Fram Xtended Guard!! (I use these exclusively on my trucks)

The Fram XG5 is only $1.50 more than a WIX filter, performs way better and has synthetic filter media. The best part is I can get them for $9 at Wal-Mart with my oil. One stop shopping for an oil change.

I have been running WIX filters, but I will no longer be doing so just because they are too expensive for what you get and I have to make an extra trip to get them.
