Oil Filters for the RR 02 p38

I use a napa gold filter. Seems to work fine. I might try a different one just for heck of it though... Since using it my rover has developed a subtle moan. My other car didn't like it either. The moan could be unrelated to the filter, but we'll see when I change it out. I've heard frams are pretty good. Personally, I will just go with an OEM one from the dealership. My other cars seem to like it more when they get a filter that was actually designed for them.

Atlantic British has the following:
"genuine equipment" @$12
Brand "Mahle" @ $6
Brand "K&N" @ $14
Brand "Mahle (short) 6 filters for $32
Has anyone out there on the forum have any opinion on any of the non original equipment oil filters?
I'm assuming OEM and "genuine equipment" means the same thing right???

For V8's I use the long ones, I can only assume there's enough clearance on the RR.
Wix - Long 51512
Wix - Short 51068
Baldwin - Long B2
I pay about $5 each locally for the 51515.
The filter the Rover V8's use wasn't designed for them. They are one of the most common and widely used filters.

Only use a Top of the line filter, my choice is either a Mobil 1-301 or a K&N 3001.

It works for me, my 98 Disco with 200,000 miles did not seem to mind when I sold it. I think alot of the money you pay for a K&N filter is in the name. But that being said, is it really worth my time and money to go buy a oil filter to give them? I already change my oil every 6 months or 5,000 miles with synthetic. I don't think I will be to concerned right now as the dealer just did the oil change. But if you guys think it is worth the money I would probably rather use an OEM filter I can get them cheaper.
