What oil/filter do you use and WHY?

I just barely switched over to the Shell Rotella T6 5w40 because I noticed it was recommended/used many times by the STi/WRX guys over at Nasioc. Not sure whether that's a good reason or not, but I figured it was worth a shot. I guess we'll see when it comes time to change it.

I have been using the Wix Porsche 944-sized filter (wix p/n 51287) , because it's the bigger size, wix seems like they make decent (maybe not the best ever) filters, and amazon.com has them (2-day shipping with amazon prime ), and I bought a bunch in bulk. I might try a different one next time around though, but definitely keeping it the bigger size.
