K&N, although Mobil has their own filter. I may try it next
Does ExxonMobil make oil filters for use with Mobil 1?
ExxonMobil does offer a very high-quality oil filter that can be used with any motor oil, but it is an especially appropriate companion to Mobil 1. Mobil 1 Extended Performance Oil Filters contain synthetic fibers instead of the typical cellulose filter media. With a 99.2 percent efficiency rating (under SAE J1858 Multi-Pass Efficiency Test), the Mobil 1 filter is much more efficient than a typical oil filter, removing more particles per pass through the filter. In addition, the synthetic fibers in the Mobil 1 filter have less resistance to oil flow, reducing the potential for the filter to restrict the flow of oil to your engine.

I have used the AC Delco UPF44 Ultraguard Gold,K&N, Mobil 1
I just switched to the Mobil 1 extended life and my oil pressure has spiked to 60 psi at idel and 80 psi normal driving...
I do not know if I have a bad filter or if my oil pressor sensor went bad co-incident with the change...

I bought a case of these from Ken Fitchner's Chevy when I bought my '98 a couple of years ago. No problems with oil pressure here.

k&N and Baldwin filters flow better than most, according to bobistheoilguy tests. They also filter very well. I've noticed a shorter "time until not tapping" when starting cold - a good measure of flow. The other nice thing about the K&N is its welded-on nut - makes removal a whole lot easier than almost all other filters.
