Oil filter OEM Toyota or Mobil
PUP or PP for oil and Mopar or Mobil 1 for filter (5thgen)
I have used Mobil one synthetic on my 07 fit since 33,000km. Took the valve cover off once to adjust lash around 150, took it off at 200&230 and it looks like it was just assembled (I kid you not) - so realistically, I find the oil to be fine for my L15. Replaced my oil/filter ever 7000km (highway mostly) because it’s the cheapest maintenance if you plane to drive your car forever :)
So I have the very first year of the 2.0L Skyactiv engine in my Mazda 3 (2012). I have only used Mobile 1 alongside Mobil 1 filters. Truth is these engines are pretty solid.
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.
The Mobil 1 m1-103a filter is the proper filter for your car. It's a high capacity filter designed for synthetic and it holds a large capacity of captured material.
My '88 Supra is typically just annual oil changes, maybe $40 for synthetic and filter. I've owned it about 14 years.
i use mobil1 & OEM black filter. change it every 7000km.
I got to Toyota next door for oil and alignment. $170 for both.
That kind of looks like it's coming from the oil filter cap. Did you use an oe filter and oring? I had the o-ring leak under boost when I used a mobile one filter with a defective ring. It made a mess sort of like that.
Mobil 1 filters are made by Champion Labs, which they use a louvered center core. The downside is, consistency, as the louvers have a tendency to be not be completely punched open.
