Default What's the best oil filter?

Like the title says, what is the best oil filter? I used to use Fram but a while back I remember someone saying that they weren't any good. I am using the Mobile 1 filter now. Please also include the basis for your statement.

Thanks,
J.R.

not sure about best, but the delco is a quality filter, the pf 59 is just a little bigger and it fits.

PF59 reporting for duty here too!!!! I get a disount on them, but either way its Delco or Wix for me. I cant see spending the money on K&N, but if I REALLY felt like it, I just might.......maybe.

Wix 51522....I've used them on all 3 of these NBS's I've owned. IMO, Wix are way better than Fram and are definately bigger.

I've been using ACDelco for years, after recommendations from a few different parties and a bit of research too. Here's an interesting link that was referenced in another thread not to long ago:
