I do buy my filters from the store.
I would think your car would call for 5w30 or 5w20 oil, 10w30 seems way to thick unless you are running a turbo, if you are really worried you could also go for something like an amsoil filer that claims 15 micron filtration, to use to thick of oil is going to be hard on your oil pump and the rest of your engine, it will also reduce your gas mileage.
