No need to reiterate most of what has been said, but one point that needs to be stressed for those considering 10k+ oil changes, as was said earlier it's not so much about the oil "wearing out" in that duration, it's the chemicals that wind up in the engine that the oil additives have to bond to. Even top quality oils have a limit on what they can keep clean at which point engine wear begins.
As far as filters go, as someone that has worked in the industry for too many years as well as someone that has been building high performance engines for as long, Wix filters are among the best you can find. Napa gold filters (re-branded Wix) are on average for most vehicles $8-11 dollars and are as good as it gets.
Fram has been garbage for quite a few years now, do NOT ever purchase a Fram filter.

Too add, lots of people claim K&N oil filters are the best too. Most of K&N's oil filters are also made by WIX.
For the price, a Wix filter just can't be beat.
