I've always operated under the theory that you can't go wrong with
OEM- the manufacturer isn't going to risk a $4,000 warranty engine
replacement by using a cheap oil filter.
I used to do a lot of rebuild and short block replacements on vehicles
where the engine died young. Never not once did a damaged engine have
an OEM filter- always a cheapass aftermarket one.
