Pretty smart. It caught on and people are wasting a ton of money getting changes too frequently.

You seem pretty knowledgeable on this topic. What would you suggest I use for oil filtration? AC Delco? K&N? Mobil? What do you think is the best?

I know a good bit about what goes on in crankcases. I know nothing about the guts of the filters on the market.

I use mobil filters because they are the heaviest

Whatever you put on there is probably fine.

As long as it meets or exceeds all of the certs listed in your owner's manual it's fine. It's more crucial with diesels using low ash oil.
