I run the K&N oil filter it has a hex head so when you take it off its super easy. I coupled that with a magnetic add on that clips to the filter to keep all metal shavings in the filter and a Greddy magnetic drain plug.
Amsoil is the first in synthetics and I use in all my cars engines, transmissions and differentials. Google amsoil vs *any oil brand* and you will see it annihilates the competition.

while the "series" might change, this has been a good rule of thumb for awhile. from best to worst starting points of oils...(not all shown). oil reports will tell what "annihilates" the competition.
The best base stock is Polyol-ester (Redline & Motul)
Next best is Di-ester (Royal Purple, Amsoil, Neo)
Next is Polyolefin polyamine (Mobil 1)
Next is Hydrocracked (Syntec, Valvoline)
And finally, regular dyno oils.
