Yeah, would be nice if there is a newer review, but there is none. At least it showed what people could be looking for. For instance, I wouldn't want one with few pleats or with paper end caps, but would want one with variable density synthetic media, good bypass valve, etc.
I use the top ranked filter in SAE tests: Purolator PureOne. Additional info on:

How do you know it was the top ranked filter in the SAE tests? I like the PureOnes, but I am not sure they would be tops in terms of filtering efficiency. I hate to say this, but I suspect the Amsoil EAO Filters might be tops, or the similar Donaldson filter. I didn't cut open one of those intended for a Toyota, but I did cut open the FL-820S style Amsoil Filter and it is very interesting.

There is nothing wrong with the Mobil 1 Filters, but I don't think they are worth the extra money.
