Oil Filter Brand

Does everyone here that changes their own oil use MB original oil filters when they change their oil? Anybody use other brands? Anything at Autozone or NAPA that I can pick up on the fly? Thanks!

Piece of SH*T
I don't use MB filters ALL the time I run whatever they have at autozone/kragens and those filters are still 12-15 bucks but of course I still run Mobil 1 0-40 all the time. Not only that I always change my oil every 3k miles nothing above that call me **** if you want or call me dumb for using those filters but a filter is a filter as long as you are constantly changing them...OIL on the other hand is a different story.
