Does not really matter what brand as long as it is the correct filter. Some people believe in different brands and of course some filters are better than others.

One that fits a 2008 Pontiac Solstice 2.4L

Use the search function and search "oil filter". There are numerous threads.

Walmart has these for $4.98

Purolator, Mobil 1, Royal purple, wix, Bosch, K&N all good filters. FRAM = garbage
-
Also make sure the filter you get has the big o-ring for the filter cap. It should home with it.
-
GM says the large BLUE O-ring does not need replacing; I reused it on my previous SS with four filter changes at time it was traded.
Plan on doing same with '18 if the big O-ring is blue.
Either way, don't over tighten the cap. -
K&N filter comes with O-ring...so I just replaced it.
-
I inspect the cap and o-ring, if needed it gets replaced.
-
In addition to Wix being a good filter, Bosch also makes nice ones. I bought one of each to compare and, to me, both look about equal. Bosch was avail from Rock Auto at good prices so I bought six.

I take a verbal a** whipping for this allot of times but I own over 100 pieces of equipment and/or vehicles that require gas or diesel and motor oil. I use Supertech Oil and Filters from Wal-Mart ever since Wal-Mart went to their own brand. They use to have purolator till a few years back. I have never lost or rebuilt a motor since then.

What I use and K&N is one of the best. Nothing wrong with any mentioned above... just that Walmart’s are everywhere!
New O- ring comes in the box and should always be used.
