Oil filter Mann or OEM Toyota

I use oem but if I am out, or traveling and need a filter I use Mobile 1 M1-301A filter which is twice the size but fits perfectly. I think it’s an older Ranger filter. I used to buy the same size from Amsoil before going back to Toyota brand. Its a great filter but probably overkill.

I've always used Mann or Hengst oil filters.

I always do Mann filters when available like temporary-republic-6 said it is the OE filter. Also some independent companies have cut and tested different filters and found Mann has the largest filtering surface. I been using mann for roughly 20 years now.

I do every 3-5k miles, with Mann oil filter, both o rings, drain plug and washer, 7 quarts of 5w-40 liqui moly Leichtlauf High Tech oil.

I have used Mann Filters and Valvoline European 5w40 since new. I have gotten the OCI dialed in at 6500 miles.

I found a shelf full of Made in Germany Mann oil filters for my BMWs that is OE for the N55, N54, N52, N20 engine that were 80% off and ran up as $2.78 each. I cleared cleared the shelf full of those filters.. And i also found a new starter for my NA miata $11 that I was planning to replace . It was 95% off.

I replaced the Mann filter on my Golf 6. It was easy to install and the quality is excellent.

Use Mann. They are cheap too. OE.

Have you considered checking oil pressure regulating valve? In the past I have replaced pretty undamaged filters when I did oil changes. But for the last three years I get crushed filters out of the housing.

I couldn't do my own oil change last time since the weather was pretty bad and I was long over due. Brought it to Toyota of Bellevue, they had overtighten the oil filter to the point where I had to punch a screwdriver through it to get it out when I did my own change. Wouldn't want to take my car there again.
