Vehicle Oil Filter Recommendations?

Doesn't really matter. Building a filter is rocket science. They all work fine. All the controversy stems from proponents bashing each other and supposed "studies" are often paid for by one brand or another.
 
The only thing mentioned that I liked was the idea of some filters allowing
oil to stay up in the valve train valley for lube of the valve train upon cold start up That made sense to me.
 
Same here. Amsoil filters are hands down the best there is. No question about it. Do a cutaway and tear down the different brands and it’s blatantly obvious that Amsoil is by far the most superior and robust filter in the market. I run my changes about 8k and check the oil every 1000 miles after 5k to ensure the detergents are still good. Detergents are still good at 8k but I change it anyhow

Amsoil oil is really good too. I run Amsoil in all my gas engines but for Diesel engines I use Hotshots Secret oil. Hotshots fluids are the only brand that I would say is better than Amsoil. I also run Hotshots transmission fluid, gear oil, coolant, fuel additives, and fuel system cleaners. All of their products are as good as it gets.

Unfortunately Hotshots doesn’t make oil filters so for that item Amsoil is the only one I’ll use.

You might want to do some research about Amsoil filters being the most superior. Watch the cut open videos on youtube by "Whip City Wrencher" .

When it comes to diesel oil filters Amsoil most certainly is the best. I use them in gassers as well but it doesn’t matter as much there. Would worry more about the quality of fluids in a gasser because any good filter will do.
