I use the cheapest brand name oil I can find. ST is the lowest i'll go (Not that I think it's bad oil). Filters, I have used whatever is the cheapest. I use rockauto all the time and I estimate that I have 60+ filters in my stash. I have never had any oil related issues in any vehicle I have owned. I cut and inspect every filter I remove. Heck I filter my used oil and add it to my tractor's diesel fuel to get rid of it... Even the gas generator in small amounts ;-)
Am I cheap or what?
