I stick with my 5-7 dollar wix filters. Rarely see problems with the gaskets on those.

WIX Filters are the best bang for $ in my opinion. Never had a problem with 'em.

I use only AC Delco. I tighten to: contact + 1 turn (with a film of new oil on the gasket). I've seen them loosen at the recommended + 3/4.
