I just bought two of Wix 57078 oil filters from Rockauto.com for $10 something each. One is the new Mann fleece filter and one is the old style paper filter. The paper one is probably fine but I think I will return it anyway.
I changed the oil and filter today on "Chuck" today for the first time. Old school style and drained the oil by using the plug. I happened to have a filter wrench from some car of my past that fit perfectly which made it a snap. I plan on 5K changes with Mobil 1.
