Well, first of all anything "definitive" will cause dissension  <G>, 
but  TeriAnn Wakeman did a pretty comprehensive test of oil filters, 
she tore a bunch of them apart and compared the innards ...  the 
clear winner in her mind ( which I respect) was the NAPA Gold 1516, 
which is also the 51516 WIX, I am  pretty sure the WIX is the 
manufacturer, but I would not bet the farm on that. They are more 
expensive, but "You get what you pay for" ...
These are what I use on Casper and I must say I am very satisfied.
