I had problems with AC Delco filters leaking at the gasket, I think because for awhile they made the base plates too thin. I switched to WIX and have never had a problem
+1, I've always had great results with WIX filter. Despite the fact that my engine was still very new, the oil results were great.

EDIT: We should also mention here, that WIX has also worked great! It provides excellent filtration, considering the engine is still very new, and could have insoluble particles in the fluid.

I ran a small trucking company for years, all ways used Wix filters, and NEVER had a lubrication caused breakdown in any of my power units.
