Which filter???
What is the larger filter that will fit and accept the full 6 quarts of oil. Oh, just something else I saw, the K&N 1007 filter that is recommended for a 5.7 liter V8 is the same one that is used on a 2.4 liter ecotec. Maybe it is just me, but I think my larger engine needs a larger filter.

For the record, FRAM sucks and I would/should have put purolator.

Filters that rate very highly and that I would use - Purolator PureOne, AC Delco (cheap but good) Hastings (not many places carry them) NAPA Gold & Carquest Blue both made by WIX, K&N, Mobil 1. I would say away from any filter made by Champ labs. Bosch, STP, Pennzoil, Quaker State, etc.
From the tests I have read I would not put a Fram on my lawnmower!!
I prefer Mobil 1. K&N is fine but I won't risk ripping the nut off the bottom if I run over something.
(the nut is a nice feature if you drive something with some ground clearance)These are both premium and more expensive filters.
If I were to use a regular filter it would be AC but a few of the others are ok too.

I think the Fram TG is very good, have been using them for years and never had a problem. For $4 at walmart, I can't complain.
Where do you guys buy your K & N oil filters at? I've checked at Pep Boys, Advance Auto, and Auto Zone, and though they all have K & N oil filters, none of them carry
the #1007 that is listed for our cars.
