Oil filter K&N or OEM Toyota

I’ve found them to be good

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.

Filter Used : K&N HP-1008 (has a nut built into the filter for a 1" socket; recommended)

I have used K&N oil filters my entire life and never once had one leak from the nut portion of the filter housing

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.

I run K&N filters and mobil-1 5W-30 at 350k km

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.

I personally don’t use k&n oil filters. They filter great but I’m not a fan of their flow.

K&N is probably the most annoying with the rounded off nut they expect you to use to get the filter off. I'll never buy one of those again.

K&N oil filters on the other hand, are like the thread count myth for bedsheets. You are paying a shitton more for 480 Egyptian cotton you'll throw out in 3000 mi.
