Engine oil: What does everyone like?

fram filters have had a pretty bad rap becuase of their poor design and poor quality of filtering media used. Although things might change from different filter models, overall i think fram is not the way to go. I'd trust amsoil filters. Here is a quick example of just how bad of a product Fram would release to the public:

Ive always liked Castrol but last time spent the money for Castrol Syntec. Im not impressed at all. I dont know what I expected but there is nothing golden about it that I see. Im going back to regular GTX 1030 and may try some slick.

i use castrol high mileage 10w30 ($20 at walmart for 5 qt.) with a napa gold filter which is running me close to $7. maybe i should start using toyota oem filters... hmmmm.
oh yeah, i also run lucas oil stabalizer. it really helps reduce that oil burnoff from my engine.
next oil change im not gonna do it and see what happens.

Castrol 5-30w in all my rigs, napa gold filters no real reason just preferance i guess. Also change the oil at 3,000 to 5,000 no matter what anybody say's. My question is what aftermarket filters have the anti drain back, like that of the oem?
