Best Oil filter for Toyota Prius

I've changed the oil on my Prius over 30 times and never had an issue with my plastic canister. Use the proper tools and you won't have issues.

To give you perspective, I do my own oil change for $37 (full synthetic mobile one + filter)

I prefer to buy Pennzoil Platinum (high mileage or ultra) 5w30 and use a WIX or Toyota filter, whichever is cheaper.

Toyota OEM 0W-20 Full Synthetic. Recommended change of 10,000 miles. Rumor is that the FS motor oil is manufactured by Exxon Mobil. IF it ever came down to it, I would only use Mobil FS in the same rating. I use the TRD oil filter, it is a superiorly made filter.

I drive an average of 100 to 150 miles a day doing deliveries. (Gen 3 2014 Plug In Hybrid) I do use Mobil 1 high mileage (label says protects up to 20,000 mi) oil and a Mobil 1 filters (packaging says the same for the filter) for my oil change. It runs extremely well! My engine feels great compared to the regular jiffy lube oil change! But I just recently came from Firestone last week while getting my alignment done and overall health check. I used to do oil changes every 5k but it was getting ridiculous changing every month and a half paying $70+ and the engine still feels exceptional. So with Mobil 1 HM I changed it every 8-10k miles. This time around, I topped off the last quart from my 5 quart bottle at 10K and will be doing my oil change at 15k. You can say I am pushing it a bit but I feel inclined to really test the Mobil 1 statement. But, back to Firestone, at the 11k miles of running the same oil. they gave me the news and said it’s still up to manufactures specifications and everything was good! It still runs great! If anything Mobil 1 really makes a difference and. But I’ll be changing oil every 8-10k to be on the conservative side, sure saves a heck a lot of money and not waste oil that’s still good.

My Service Writer AND 2 of the Hybrid Mechanics that I am allowed to speak with on occasions have all told me with the Full Synthetic Oil that 10,000 miles is a good interval to change the oil. Being my father's daughter, I cannot do it, I make my intervals at approximately 8,000 miles, give or take. I check my engine's dipstick and admittedly VISUAL inspection and smell the oil. I would like to share that since my very first oil change, I have used a TRD Oil Filter which has more structure and filtration.

Oil and filter every 5k miles give or take a couple hundred. Air filter... when it gets dirty or once a year. Which ever is first. Most of the time it is the year.

every 5k miles for me to stave off the inevitable HG issue. 160k miles on a 3rd gen which is notorius for HG problems if you don't change your oil.

+1 on Mobil 1 oil and for the filter Bosch or Mobil 1 extended performance filter (both are about the same cost as OEM, but have better filtering)
