Depends on year and where you are located. I would never buy a cheap one, since a Bosch is 10 euros, and I'm not willing to take any chances for 5 euros or less, which is the price difference with a ridex or something like that.
It’s a reliable brand. Any major oil brand should work well, as long as you stick to reputable names. I have my oil changed elsewhere and use different brands with no issues or noticeable difference between them, but I always make sure to buy the original oil filter directly from Toyota in advance.
I’ve just been purchasing Bosch filters from Halfords or eurocarparts. Oil I just use fully synthetic oil 5w30. I’ve had the car since 60k and it’s about to hit 100k and it’s still smooth as hell.
I would stick to Bosch, Mann & Mahle for filters.
Got a Bosch on Amazon, wasn't changed on my 2 year service. Thank you for sharing, so easy to change.
I did my FJ’s oil change for the first time myself a few weeks ago. All the aftermarket filters seem to not be as good as OEM, and they cost more. Got mine from the dealer, with the gasket, for under $9
For oil, if you are changing your oil earlier than the OEM recommended oil change interval of 10k mi / 12 mo, then feel free to use the cheapest GF-6B API-SP certified oil of whatever type it says on your oil cap, along with a Toyota OEM filter, which is almost always cheapest to buy at the dealership's parts counter.
Running toyota filter.
So I changed the filter to an $11 Bosch filter, got the car good and warmed up, still low pressure. When I start it up and the oil is still thin, I've got about 50psi and as it warms up it just goes lower until it'S around 10psi at 2000rpm.
I'm perfect fine running this filter at my shop, Bosch can pay for the new engine and my time to put it in and my customer now has an engine with 300k less miles. Thanks bosh for your crappy quality control.
