Oil filter K&N or OEM Toyota

K&N Oil filter

Picked up a K&N clean it every 5-6 months with my Pennzoil Platinum oil change. I got the filter with Ford loyalty points when I bought the car. Always use K&N.

Pros: reusable, easy to clean

OEM Toyota Oil filter

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

Pros: cheap, good quality
Cons: aftermarket filters worse
Vehicle: Toyota FJ Cruiser

OEM Toyota Oil filter

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.

Pros: cheapest to buy
Mileage: 16093 km

K&N Oil filter

OEM. I order a bunch off of Rock Auto. Two of the K&Ns I've had leaked just the tiniest bit but enough to be annoying. Granted, I'm not on a stock turbo or stock by any means, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Cons: tiny leaks, annoying

K&N Oil filter

Your best bet is to order the proper Mahle filter from your favorite e-tailer and keep it on standby. You could pick up a K&N at Cycle Gear but K&N have a bad reputation in the industry and I’d generally stay away from them.

Cons: bad reputation

K&N Oil filter

It\u2019s crap. Most filters are 20 microns; K&N have one that\u2019s 10. Put your money into getting a better oil filter instead of buying into the snake oil.

Pros: better oil filter
Cons: crap, snake oil
