Oil Filter recomendation
 
I will be switching my 03 Accord over to full synthetic soon (probably Mobil 1 or Valvoline), but now what oil filter?
For the first couple of changes I don't see going beyond my Dino oil change interval.
Are the standard Fram and the like oil filters OK or do I need a higher end filter?
One that I can buy at a local Autozone, NAPA or the same type store and that doesn't cost a fortune would be nice.

Just called Autozone they have 5 qts Valvoline Synpower Full synthetic and a fram tough guard oil filter for $20.
Is that a good setup?

Thanks,
Mark

Meh, Fram is not liked too much around here, but they sure are popular on the domestic end of things. Filters a lot of us use around here are are Mobil1, Purolator, Filtech, Honda Genuine, and Wal-mart brand (Supertech?). If you're going to be running a full synthetic and throw more miles at your engine then get a filter that can match.
