Oil filter OEM BMW or OEM Toyota

$27 synthetic 0-16W. $7 Toyota filter.

So $34. I do it myself. I don’t trust Walmart.

$30 total.

$25 for 5qt oil, $4.5 for oem filter from Toyota dealership.

I change mine every 7-8k miles and use the best filter available. Just turned 336k miles on my 2001 Toyota

Oil changes full syn every 10k miles with OEM filters.

$48.11 is what I paid to buy the oil and filter at the dealership and do the labor myself. That's a genuine Toyota filter as well as a 6 quart case of Toyota 0W16.

I'd do oil change as close to leaving as possible with full synthetic oil. Look into oil filter status after that long.

I've changed the oil on my Prius over 30 times and never had an issue with my plastic canister. Use the proper tools and you won't have issues.

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.

Did an oil change on my dad's Yaris last year on the 1NZ-FE motor. Everything went well until I got to the oil filter. My dumbass confused clockwise and counterclockwise. So instead of losing it I was basically over tightening it to the point it got stuck.

I work for a dealership and have seen many Chinese filters collapse just like that...I've seen other Chinese filters get so bad that it starved the engine of oil pressure which lead to vanos faults among other things....I'd always go for bmw oil filters, that's not something I'd be willing to "experiment" with
