I have used Fram Ultra's with excellent results for quite some time. I've experienced issues with them in the last 6 -8 months and am seeking a quality alternative.

BMW will remain Mann. I am running a 15 F150 5.0 with 90k, 7kOCI; a 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6 220k, 7kOCI; and a 19 Subaru Outback 2.5 with 50k, 6kOCI.

Difficult to trust an oil filter with all the massive changes to so many products....and often not a quality improvement in the filter!
 
FWIW, I use OEM Fleetguard on my 2012 Ram CTD and Mopar on the 2014 T&C. It's a mixed bag on the 2005 Jeep, but usually Purolator or Motorcraft FL400, the same filter for my JD mower.
 
Various branded Premuim Guard Inc (PGI) extended performance 10K rated filters available from Advance Auto Parts, O'Reilly's and AutiZone. Or the new Mobil 1 filter under Highline Warren, or NAPA Gold by PGI. All of these have been discussed for a long time in this forum. PGI also has a full synthetic 20K Carquest filter at AAP, and also one in the STP line at AutoZone.

The newer Mobil filters are excellent filters these days. The nice thing is walmart has them in stock if your like me and get my oil from them.

You're lucky! Walmart by me has nearly none of the oil filters I need and hardly any oil at all. Luckily, I have plenty of both...
