Bosch makes a good filter, as does Denso. Either of these would be my vote for next brand to try.

5K mile OCI?
FRAM Extra Guard or Purolator Red would be my next choice.

It is indeed Champ made. Exactly like the Luberfiner filters.

A Wix/NAPA Gold is another good option, Mobil 1 is also good, but a little overpriced.
If not for the Supertech ST2 being a combo valve design, I would recommend that also.
^^^^^^I agree.... No Motorcraft 820... And I am glad I never used the 820 on my car. I am very glad I used the Fram Ultra xg-2 on my 2008 Ford Fusion... Which I see here... XG-2 all the way.
Make that 3 recommendations to stay away from the MC FL-820s (they are well known to tear). Why not run the XG2 for two or 3 OCIs? It is good for up to 20,000 miles.

I guess I could, but I like changing my oil and filters at the same time. I don't hunt or fish anymore so buying a $10 oil filter every 5-6 thousand miles is a pretty cheap hobby.
