I always used the filters recommended by SynLube. They initially recommended Delco Duro Gold's. But, he said those were stopped being made, so, he switched over to Royal Purple filters. My most recent filter change was less than 2k miles ago. Previous filter changes were done about every 10k miles or so.
FYI, if of interest, the Speed normally uses some relatively small cartridge filter. But, it can be converted to using a normal spin-on, which I did at the time I started using SynLube. That allowed me to use relatively large filters, so, I'm surprised that I had such a problem.
P.S. I also had a filter-mag, though, I don't know if the offending material was magnetic. I guess not.
