Oil filter Bosch or OEM Toyota

For all my Toyotas, I just buy the OEM Toyota filters bc they’ve got them at basically any Walmart, don’t even have to go to the dealership for them. I’ve opened those up too and they’re way better quality.

I was overjoyed when I saw that a toyota-branded oil filter was a touch over $5 vs $25 for the an oil filter for the 997.

The Bosch oil filter and Mobil 1 5w20 combo is what I've been using for years for my 2010 TSX

I don't believe in trans flushes, nor do the experienced techs I talk to. They just push debris into places it's not supposed to be. Just do a drain and refill (with a new filter, if there's a replaceable filter). I've been doing a drain and refill every 30k on my Tacoma since I bought it with 76k miles - just rolled over 150k. Had my guy drop the pan and clean the screen and magnets on the last one and he said everything looked fantastic inside, no major debris, magnets were fairly clean.

Kaufe ausschließlich Markenfilter, BOSCH oder Mann. Was anderes kommt mir nicht ins Auto. Und ein kurzer Ölwechsel-Intervall (10-15k) ist auch nicht schlecht für die Gesundheit des Autos. Am Öl und Ölfilter sollte man nie sparen, die potentiellen Folgekosten sind einfach zu krass.

I use oem but if I am out, or traveling and need a filter I use Mobile 1 M1-301A filter which is twice the size but fits perfectly. I think it’s an older Ranger filter. I used to buy the same size from Amsoil before going back to Toyota brand. Its a great filter but probably overkill.

I would never buy a cheapie oil filter for any car, especially a European car. I have always insisted on OEM or Bosch parts for our VW’s.

That happened to me too. I went to Dick Dyer Toyota because it's closer to my house and they charged me $100 because they put in a new oil filter

I couldn't do my own oil change last time since the weather was pretty bad and I was long over due. Brought it to Toyota of Bellevue, they had overtighten the oil filter to the point where I had to punch a screwdriver through it to get it out when I did my own change. Wouldn't want to take my car there again.
