I have a Mobil 1 on it now...
...anything but a FRAM and you should be fine. If you go with other filters, just make sure they aren't too long (high capacity filter). They can hang below your skid plate and get torn off.

Bill, There was a comparison a couple of months ago and it came down to
NAPA Gold FIL 1042
WIX 51042
AC Delco UPF 44
These were all listed as great performers trapping smaller particulates and increasing flow. In the past I was using Fram, but no more as they didn't test well in the comparison.

Thanks Ed... I'm going to NAPA in the morning. Got 2 5qt Mobil1 for $23.62 ea. at WallMart today. How are you feeling??? Ready for some warm weather??? We had freezing rain then 5 1/2" of sleet last Friday/ Saturday. Took 2 days to clear my driveway. Had to chip 1' squares at a time with a spade, then push off the driveway.... Bill

I've been using the AC Delco PF 46 on mine. Works just fine from what I can tell.
