I don't buy filters from walmart because all they have in mine is Fram. I haven't tried their oil, but I'd be willing to give the synthetic a shot.
I use Castrol Syntec and Wix filters. I change it every 6000 miles. No need to change a synthetic at 3000 as long as you have a quality filter that's not going to malfunction before then.
I hear Purolator filters are exceptionally good too. The K&N and Mobil1 filters are just rebadged purolators, and are internally identical, but cost $4-6 more.
