If you buy the filters specified by the auto manufacturer, you can reasonably assume that the filter specifications and performance were considered in the design of the lubrication system. It's also likely that those filters were used in developing and testing the engine.
That doesn't mean they are necessarily better than what you can find on the aftermarket, but it's a safe choice.
Follow Ups:
No one spent more money on research and development than the makers who tested to engines/oiling systems. They are not going to go with X if Y is clearly better. Good enough is good enough. I say this as an engine builder of 34 years who has never earned a W-2 doing anything else.
I just don't want people to be mis-led by slick advertising that their vehicles will last longer or perform better by spending 50-100% more on things like filters.
Sounds similar to Audio Cables!!!
I got your original intent and completely agree. If... doing my own oil changes (really don't anymore) I mostly buy OEM filters for the same reason.
Auto makers are squeezing far more HP/CI than used to be the case. Oiling systems, filters and all are even more critical. Why bother taking a chance.
