I like the K and P Engineering filters. It was about $150 up front, but I save about $10 every oil change by cleaning it. That's 15 oil changes, at one per 5,000 miles, at 75K miles it's paid for itself in absolute terms or nearly so. You have to replace the o-rings every once in a while. They cost a few bucks. So it's not like you'll save a bunch on such a filter, except over the very long haul maybe.
I didn't buy it for that purpose so much as my belief it's a better filter than the paper filters. Based on the posts in this thread, that remains to be seen I guess.
LOL.
If I was going to go with a paper filter, I'd probably do the Harley filter, or K&N which has a nice 'bolt' on the end for removal.

I mostly get them from Napa, for convenience, because it's close by,
just drop the 5 (first #) off the wix #, and that's the Napa #.
Black ones for me.
Did some service work for a guy and he bought an oem chrome TC filter, the receipt was in the bag,,,$23 with tax

FWIW, Fram was bought out in the mid to late 90's and quality dropped off considerably with lawsuits emerging from filters coming apart on the inside.
To me the reusable filter is too much hassle to clean when a spin on is so quick and easy to get done.

Here's my filter of choice... With no metal getting into the oil cooler or oil tank I would think it's doing a damn good job....
