The filter element can make a difference like a cheap paper vs. synthetic media, some can catch smaller metal particles but I personally dont think its that big of a deal. I use fram or purolator just because thats the closest thing to me when I change the oil.

Is wix a good company? Seriously just from looking at a supertech and fram side-by-side the supertech looks so much more well-made.

WIX is all I use on my car. They don't spend much on marketing, but their filters are absolutely top notch.

Looking at a Fram box and a WIX box you would think that Fram is the better quality filter, but that's not the case.

not very much of your oil actually goes through the filter very often.

Same here, maybe 1500 if I get lazy. I use free oil too.
