Great find! Very useful information.

Sounds like the Mobil 1 or Purolator PureOne are the only two oil filters to go with.

I only use Wix but would also consider the Amsoil filter.

Yeah, I'd stick with the Amsoil, it's the only one that uses nanofiber filtering media.

If you want to stock up on Wix filters, I found that http://www.filter1.com/ had slightly better prices. (Free shipping on orders that total $50 or more.)
