Now....Example: If car A uses FRAM synthetic filters and any brand synthetic motor oil compared to Car B that ONLY uses OEM filter and Mobil 1 oil.
Will car B last longer, run better, faster etc… than car A?

However, better quality filters and oil will contribute to a longer lasting engine all other things being equal.
Faster - No
Run better - No

YES
But that's about it, I think people get brainwashed to easily by the power of branding, I am guilty myself
Yes the Seville Row suit will last longer but for the price you can buy a couple of suits back to the topic OIL all I’m trying to say/ask "Is there a point to buying >$40 jug of synthetic oil compared to <$40 jug of synthetic oil?"

Don't look so much into the cost of the oil, but rather the the grade (class 3 vs 4) and type of blend. For instance, Mobil 1 in recent times has dropped from class 4 to class 3, and is now an inferior product to what it once was - what this means is that you will get less protection. Of course that extra protection can prove either significant or neglible depending on the way you drive, climate conditions, etc. Since I like to be ready for anything, I try and go with one of the best (Amsoil ASL 5w30).

Since I do my own oil changes, I use the money saved and spend it on a premium oil+filter combo. The way I see it, spending an extra few bucks on a better filter is worth the piece of mind since you know you have quality parts working in probably the most critical part of your engine (lubrication system). I want this baby to last.
