Default What brand oil filter are people using these days?

I have been using the OEM filter, but is anyone using something that is easier to get a hold of? Dealer is a ways away, so if something good is available at Kragen or the like im on. Using 5w40 oil for what its worth

FWIW I just used a OEM replacement Bosch 72198. Prolly would have preferred Mann or Mahle but had the Bosch laying around. Used Rotella Synthetic oil 5W-40 FWIW...

I use Mann, which I order from ECS. I always order the 5 pack, along with the same # of oil plug washers.

I actually contacted Mann, and they confirmed that their filters(as opposed to the "OEM filters" ECS sells are the exact same ones. I emailed them with part#s from both.

I use Mobil 1 fully synthetic.
