Shell Rotella and Baldwin filters will not do you wrong. Spend the little bit of extra money and stick with a good oil / filter combo. Mobil Delvac or Amsoil work for synthetic oil. Baldwin make a solid filter.

I use to run Rotella T, but It seemed it would thin out too quickly. I have been useing Mobil Delvac now for the last six years and it seems to work well for me.
