I prefer redline also, it's been the superior product for awhile now, also Royal Purple...
ummm, I still would not recommend going 10k miles on the same filter... If you are going to go that long on the same oil, please atleast change your filter :ywia:
I'll continue to change mine every 3k

I used to run CM filters, but I have the giant spin-on one which doesn't fit well on the legacy and other turbo subarus due to the oil cooler. I need to get the shorter version. CM filters are great though.
