IMHO, I would never use a Fram filter. There are oil filter research papers that can be found on the web by independent investigators that will explain why. On a daily driver, it will likely be okay. The minimum required quality has to be at least a Delco PF48 IMHO. I frankly don't think that any Fram measures up to the AC Delco filter line. I use the premium Delco Gold UPF48R myself. Mobil 1 and K&N filters are good as well.

The minimum filter I will use is the WIX 57060, but I prefer the Mobil1 M1-113 or the K&N HP-1017 in my 09Z. No way will a Fram ever be used on any of my cars.
I like the K & N as well. Has a handy stub on the end for a socket to either tighten or loosen. Nothing against Mobil 1 filters but I tried on on my C5 and couldn;t get it to quit leaking around the seal. Probably a fluke but changed to K & N and had no problems.

Thats the filter I use wix or the NAPA gold is the same. As good as any!
I believe that GM recommends Mobil 1 oil only. They probably want you to buy Delco filters.
Mobil provides "promotional" considerations to GM for the previlege of being recommended by GM. AC Delco was a long time GM subidiary company and may very well still be today.

oil filter question?
Fram filters are ok but as for me I use Mobil One oil filters in my Z just like the oil. You can't go wrong using Mobil One Oil filters
Nothing against Mobil 1 filters but I tried on on my C5 and couldn;t get it to quit leaking around the seal.
Probably a fluke but changed to K & N and had no problems.
That filter needs to sit up protected. That stub hanging down. Is rolling the dice for
