Eh i use paper filters in every car i have ever owned including my old 96 sohc dodge neon that had 280,000 miles on it when i sold it because i wanted a new car and i got tired of waiting for the thing to kick the bucket . Now oil is a different story all i have ever used is mobil 1 or AMS oil. but for the crossifre i stuck with the 0w40 mobil 1(truck oil) for the 3 oil changes so far.
