Where can I buy Royal purple filter?

If it's good enough for NASCAR, it's good enough for me. Paper is a bit more restrictive than a synth. medium but does a better job filtering (which is why it's more restrictive, get it?), I don't care what the fancy-ass filter manufacturers claim. If you are running oil pressure and volume that would bugger up a Wix then you got issues with your engine. Wix also has a silicon anti-drainback, coil spring, thick case and metal endcaps on the filter media. It also has TRIPPLE the filter media (better quality too) of the el-cheapo filter used in the comparo (looks like FRAM to me....... garbage).

Any product that claims double or tripple the time between oil changes is suspect in my opinion, oil and a filter is a consumable, it should be changed often. Why spend 5 times as much on something that you don't have too. If you only drive your car for 6 months out of the year you should change your oil at least 3 times, Royal Purple or not.

This. Nascar parts FTW.

When I relocated my oil filter I went to the biggest one I could find - I now use a Wix that's about 4-5X larger than stock. That might extend my filter change intervals since it's simply got far more area.

But I'll still change it every 5k anyways. Oil is cheap. Motors aren't.

I run k&n in all my stuff, I tried wix for a while they have quality construction to them but filter element looks like the standard old paper to me. All comparisons aside i find having that nut on the end of the k&n filter so handy and build quality they are just as good as wix imo.
