Well I see you went stp which is not as good as OEM. I run amsoil filters and have no issue, I prefer amsoil to OEM because amsoil have tested at a 99 percent particles are filtered out.

Pros: 99 percent particles filtered
Cons: not as good as OEM
Vehicle: Toyota

AMSOIL Oil filter

I'm currently using Mobil 1 ESP 0w-30 and an Amsoil filter. 2024 Rav4 Prime XSE with 44,000+ miles. Several used oil analyses flagged high fuel dilution so I want the thicker Euro oil in there and also change it early every 5,000 miles.

Cons: high fuel dilution
Vehicle: Toyota
Mileage: 44000 km
