OEM or Fram. I don't do extended oil changes, so which ever is cheaper.
Do you use one filter brand or many?

When?
1st car through early 90s, Fram Orange can.
Early 90s until about 2008: Purolator.
Then Amsoil, with few Wix thrown in.
Will probably go with Fram Ultra once the Amsoil filters are gone. Amsoil make a great filter, but it's twice the cost of the Ultra for roughly the same filtration.

Mostly Delcos and Wixs with a couple Puros and Frams thrown in.
OEM always.
OEM for Toyota truck so far.
Drag Specialties for my Harley Davidson Twin-Cam Ultra Limited. If in a pinch will purchase OEM Harley Davidson.

Mainly Purolators and their contracted filters (CQ, Mopar, etc) regardless of the issues with them my first choice is a Purolator
Although I've grown to like Mahle filters as well as Ecore (Champ) filters.
Oh, and for my ladys ford, I've grown to like the 1.12$ federal mogul champions.

OEM on my Mazda Not value line like my dealer used. Used AC Delco on my GM cars/trucks until I thought they looked cheapened. Now use Wix XP. Found a great deal on Amazon. Hope they not knockoffs

I've never had any issues with any of these oil filters since I've been using them.

OEM exclusively.
Ford OEM, orange can & sometimes Ultra
Over the past 30 years I used mostly Nippon oil filters in our Acuras and Hondas. Now I'm using a variety of brands, but mostly Fram Ultras.

Do you switch filter brands often or are you loyal to a particular brand?
I'm not brand loyal. I use whatever filters Chris (Subyrubieroo) sends me that will thread onto my Camry's 2AZ-FE engine

I used many brands on the Mazda, but mostly Purolator (including those thinly disguised as other brands.) No media tears except in a SuperTech 3593, the very last filter I took off.
Since I acquired the used Toyota, I've installed one OEM Toyota (=Denso), a Purolator, one Fram, in that order, and just recently another Purolator. None showed any problems, or captured much of anything.

Whatever is on Sale, I've used 2 Purolator Boss filters. Each was free because of an oil combo deal.
I've tried one clearance champion filter from Rock Auto. That worked fine.
I've also bought a clearance Carquest WIX filter which i'm using now. Seems to work fine too.
I use 5K OCI with Synthetic Oil, So I never use the full potential of the filters

Both vehicles Fram Ultra.

I used to run the Fram orange can all the time... Then Fram Ultra around 2011... Since then it has been Mobil 1 oil filters, Purolator filters, Premium Guard oil filters and Wix... Right now I have a Wix Napa Gold 7356 on my Nissan Altima VQ right now...
