Question on Oil Filter

Hey guys,

I am getting close to 20K and was looking to make the change over to synthetic. I am not looking to start any oil brand wars here though. I am lookoing at using Amsoil 3000 series 5W-30 in the pan and Severe Gear 75-90W in the pumpkins as well as amsoil in the tranny and transfer case. I welcome any comments from guys that run this, any increase in fuel economy? shudder in the rear end? etc.

To get to the main point, what oil filter are you guys running? I have used Fleetguard filters so far and have no problems. I was wondering about switching over to Amsoil EA filters? Any comments? They sound pretty good from the marketing material.

Thanks
