STP filters if i can find them. Otherwise i use purolator or super tech (walmart).

Oil-wise I use mobil 1 tri-synthetic, good additives to keep build-up from forming & high heat tolerances.

I find it odd that everyone dumps so much money into their engine on performance stuff. But feel the need to get the cheapest oil available. Maybe thats just me though.
