Changed mine this weekend and am curious as to what others here use. Seems like I get a different answer everywhere I look for which is best.
My Truck:
Purolator Classic Filter
Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic 5W-30
2011 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab with the 5.3 V8
GF's Car:
Purolator Classic Filter
Castrol GTX Part Synthetic High Milage 5W-30
2006 Chevy Malibu with the 3.9 V6
This was my first time with the Purolator. I've always used AC/Delco but had a mechanic buddy tell me their quality has gone down in recent years. He recommended I try Purolator.

I use Valvoline in Everything, specifically MaxLife in my truck.

Pennzoil man here. When I hit 75K, I switch to the High Mileage version. I also use Fram filters, and use the HM filter at 75K as well.

I've been running Pennzoil Platinum 5w-20 in my truck..think it's got a Bosch filter on it now.
I also have a billet oil catch can for the blow by...wish I had gotten it sooner.

I just got a new truck and it comes with 2 years free S.M....but they put dexos 1 synthetic blend in there, not sure what kind of filter.
In my old '03 silverado I'd get 6 quarts of Pennzoil and a fram tough guard oil filter. Never had a single problem with it in 7.5 years. It feels weird now having somebody else do an oil change for me.
