Oil filter Fram or OEM Toyota

Id also pick up the Fram ultra filter

Always use a Toyota oil filter.

-Full synth Pennzoil oil and any of the Fram synthetic-friendly filters plus the BG EPR and MOA treatment before and after every change.

I use cheap Fram filters ($4 each!) Oil always clean and fresh.

they're not the best, but they are built exactly to Toyota's specifications. So, while it's possible to have an aftermarket filter not built to Toyota's specifications, an OEM filter is more-or-less guaranteed to operate as intended for your specific car.

used a FRAM on my Escape and I had a weird oil pressure issue where the CEL and oil can lights came on

I lost a good 440 to a Fram that came apart. Anomaly or otherwise, that was the last Fram product I ever bought.

My father changed a Fram filter years ago and noticed the filtration media became dislodged and looked like if you crushed a piece of paper in your hand. So the filter wasn't doing anything and luckily it didn't get sucked up in the engine and cause catastrophic damage. I highly advise against buying Fram.

Crap quality. I quit using them after I had one start leaking the day after I put it on.

Thin shells, terrible filer media and questionable anti-drain back valves.
