Oil filters???

Ok, I'm kinda stuck on an oil change, what filter should I use?....I have been getting my Mopar oil filters at wal-mart, but apparently they have quit selling them in the last year (stocked up and didn't need to buy any for a year). On all my other vehicles I have used Fram, but have never put one on my dodge cause I have heard that they have a resin in them that can plug oil ports in the pistons. What filters does everyone use?

I use K&N HP-4003 from Autozone. I read a independent filter comparison a few years back and K&N got a favorable review. Plus you can use a 1" socket to remove it from the bottom.

Its made by a sister company of Cummins and it has synthetic filter media....far superior filtration than anything else.

My oil stays noticeably cleaner for much longer with the Stratapore.
