the napa gold filters are just fine, you don't have to spend big bucks on an oil filter, just make sure you change you oil and filter regularly and you shouldn't have a problem. same thing with motor oil... sure synthetics and synthetic blends may reduce friction somewhat over conventional oils, but unless you're putting your engine under a lot of stress (racing all the time, etc) then any conventional oil will do the job. my dad owns a service shop and we've seen plenty cars run just regular Shell 10w30 and go over 200k (one guy had a Jeep go over 400k) with no problems as long as it's changed at the right intervals.
