Oil filter K&N or OEM Toyota

In comparison, my local mechanic shops charges around the same price but they don't use OEM filters so I rather go to my local dealership.

My '88 Supra is typically just annual oil changes, maybe $40 for synthetic and filter. I've owned it about 14 years.

I got to Toyota next door for oil and alignment. $170 for both.

Toyota does all the maintenance on my Lexus’s once the freebies at Lexus are done. All charges are a good bit cheaper.

If you're vehicle manufacturer has an extended change interval then this filter will work with that. Some Porsches have 20,000 mile changes intervals and this filter is able to last that interval. Do the oil change as is recommended by your manufacturer. The K&N oil filters are killer and treat your car well.

Use OEM filter, they are better than K&N and are very affordable, I usually order 5 at a time from Toyota

Yeah on a vertical filter, i always put a bit of fresh oil on the rubber gasket so why not fill up the filter while at it. I put just a little bit in horizontal filters and for the top mounted filter on my ancient toyota I pat it and wish it luck

I tend to lean dealership if I don't do it myself. I have gone a couple of those places before and I damn near have to break out the screw driver to get the oil filter off.

I run the mobil 1 filter but oem is a good option. I used to use K&N but had the issue of not one but two of them leaking around the gasket.

Oil is oil, however those K&N filters are trash, definitely wouldn’t put that in my car.
