What’s your qualification?
I liked them because of the grippy material on the end that made it easy to not use tools to get it off. It doesn't have to be astronomically complicated.

Use Wix baw.

Are you using the Endurance? If so, switch to the Purolator Boss. Similar filters with some differences, but the Boss is a solid high-end filter that beats most of the boutique brands. If you are using the orange can of death, literally anything else will be better.
Does the filter make a difference if one is changing oil at shorter intervals anyway? I do the changes on the ICE cars we have in the family including my adult children's vehicles, half because I like to, half because I'm operating under the assumption of optimizing all I can to make them last. I'm sure I'm opering under overkill specs changing FS oil at 6.5K intervals, but in my line of work, I'm used to reaping the benefits afforded by redundant systems (swiss cheese theory and all).
Three of the cars have upright cartridge filters which I much prefer and I use the OEMs. On my son's Silverado 1500, the filter is an underneath mount in a tight space and can be hard to turn, I use the K&N filter that has the nut on the top of the filter that makes it easy to get off even though I hand tighten when putting on as my hands are usually a little slick by the time I get to the filter.

All my grandfather ever used was Fram filters...
So that's all I ever used...

ACDelco, Mobil 1, Wix XP (pricey), K&N - that's about it.

With lube oil in a car engine it largely doesnt matter anyway. All the filter needs to do is catch the chunks and not disintegrate. When's the last time anybody here heard of a car engine having worn out bearings in it?

I run my oil filters twice. I have never once had one with enough material to cause it to free flow.
The Japanese do it frequently on there extremely high revving engines. A seasoned filter filters better

Well that's not true.
CAT filters are a damned good example where running anything but the OEM part is asking for trouble.

Were they following Toyota? Have you not seen the teardowns of Tundra engines were the bearings are pitted and show signs of excessive clearances, even in engines that were installed to replace an engine that failed for similar reasons? This is not a recent thing either, Toyota had something similar with some of their V6's in the 1990's.

First time in my years of using them that I can't find the particular one I use easily.

I have no personal experience with those, therefore I did not include them in my statement.
It's cute you respond with snarky replies ever since I called you out for lying in a transmission thread... Like 14 months ago

Most mobilone filters are garbage. Even worse than fram.

Yes . I agree.
Unfortunately that has become the exception rather than the rule.
Looking at you Honda for building oil filters in China now... Dicks.

Toyota says "Hi!"
That's what their latest round of recalls has been about in the trucks

If anything I would say Toyota is more of an actual screw up.
Ford and GM is more of a refusal to admit thin oils are causing problems

I guess you’re going to have to pay him later. That’s all I’ve got.

He's talking about normal use, not a defect in the manufacturing or design process.
We take 5.7s and 6.2s with a 100k on em and put them on track in a stock series and dont even go into the bottom end.
They hold up fine.
