Yes, bigger filters with more capacity help but comparisons do show a filtering quality difference.
For me, I would rather buy the best for the little extra protection to go with your better quality oils.
Just a thought.

Oil filters may look the same on the outside ... but on the inside it varies a lot ....

some filters have the pressure valve inside , some are just a free flow , look inside the big centre hole of the original OEM One ... and not to forget the weight ... then look inside the substitutes... see if it looks empty ? it may just be regular paper element ... ( you don't want that one ) the good filters have valves to regulate pressure ... and is heavier...

be careful ....putting million dollar oil in your engine is not going to save it from wear , if its not filtered properly ...
