Default both are good....

just as long as its OEM, they are synthetic fiber filters intended for synthetic oil. Why stealerships put regular dino oil in cars.... well dino oil is cheap and for most cheap bastards its good enough. (READ: use their cars as automotive appliances)

I always use the OEM filter &amp; Mobil 1 synthetic oil or Royal Purple oil, or AmsOil... Those are the only full synthetic oils. I dont know about the OEM pentosin oil.
