I use Wix. Made in the USA. I buy a dozen in bulk at rockauto. Recently I've started to slice open the filters after they are used. I'm also using a FilterMag which I see helps to trap small metal particles on the inside of the filter can.

What brand oil filter do you use?

I also use Wix on everything except my daughter’s car, she takes her Honda to an oil change place where she’s goes to school.
Are you finding anything interesting in the filters you’re cutting open? (construction, not engine bits)

Napa Gold (aka Wix)
Wix is good, Wix makes Napa's Gold filters. I been using K&N recently. I think the K&N may flow more oil. The inlet holes in a K&N are larger and sometimes more of them. Oil flow is good.
I either run Wix or Amsoil on my vehicles. On my quads I run the factory Honda or arctic cat filters.

Napa gold (wix) here also. I have run K & N.only complaint is the cheezy not really a nut on top.
Isn't the nut on the bottom?
I use ACdelco, Wix sometimes, Napa gold and the occasional K&N since I have a few left to use up.
At work I use Baldwin, Donaldson and Napa gold.

I think the nut is the one putting it on.
WIX
I check to make sure the filter element has not degraded. The FliterMag magnet catches some fine metal that other wise would have been caught in the filter.
Donaldson or Napa Gold if Donaldson is not available.
