Although I am not impressed with the basic STP blue can filter I have used there extended capacity black can filter with good results. What is the general opinion of the upper end STP filters? Anyone here use them?

They seem well built but the price point drives me away, when I can buy a Napa Gold or a Fram Ultra for less why buy the STP XL?

Because you're at AZ and they're a part of a deal with oil.
I have an XL on the truck.

I can see that however I haven't bought an "oil change deal" in probably a decade from any retailer. For those of us who buy ala carte there are other filters that meet or exceed the STP XL performance at a lower price point.

Camprunner - the blue can is made to order for the 3-5K conventional oil change.
I have the China made extended life on now. Been 6 mos, over winter and no problems. Keeping it on for a year. I used to run Purolators. They never made it this long because the use in my 2.2 is side mount and the adbv would fail after 3 to 4 mos. and the engine would rattle. Been using STP's for a while and no problems, so I am trusting this one for whole year.
The STP cartridge filters for 1.8L Toyotas in the local AutoZone look like (Chinese) Frams in the two lower price levels, and Purolator in STP's highest-priced version.
