Oil filter: which one is best?

Brian uses the Purolator Pure One for his G and I've heard good things about the filter. Aside from his, are there other ones I should consider? I've seen the Fram ToughGuard, regular Fram, Bosch Premium filter (don't know if it has it for our vehicle), Mobil 1 Extended Performance (don't know if it has it for our vehicle) or I can opt for OEM Nissan. Any suggestions?

My turbo guy put on the OEM filter after converting me to 10w40 synthetic.

I guess I can go buy a bunch of them... don't know how it compares to Mobil 1's filters, for example.

I use fram Sure Grip Oil Filters. This comes in handy you change your own oil because it is tight quarters down there and the grip at the end of the Fram is nice to have.

That's the thing. I don't know how well Fram's filters perform.

Fram used to make great filters, but the quality has slipped in the past couple years. Here is the be-all-end-all of filter comparisons...http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilterstudy.html

I think I'll stick with OEM filter and use Mobil 1 Synthetic 5W-30.
