You Don't need any particular oil filter for synthetic. Just run whatever oil filter you've been running before.

I use Mobil 1. I have always wanted to get Royal Purple but its just out of my price range. Right now Advance Auto Parts is having Mobil 1 Oil Change Special. 5 Quarts of Mobil 1 oil and Mobil 1 Oil filter for $29.99. So about $32 with tax.

No Auto Zones in Montana? Didn't know that.
I use the Ford Racing FL1HP filter because of the larger internal passages, allowing more oil flow back into the engine.

I went with Mobile 1 Extended Protection with a Wix filter, seems to be running smoother.
