Oil filter OEM Toyota or OEM FORD

Toyota filter 6 bucks and Walmart Mobil one 26 for 5 quarts do it for less than 50 bucks

I did change mine also on 1600km. I noticed that while the engine oil that drained was clear visibly, the oil that came out with the filter was a lot darker. Is this normal for 1600 km or the first oil change is really needed?

I usually pay 28 EUR for Oil ( 4L synthetic 5w30) plus 7 EUR for the filter and change it myself at a Hobbywerkstatt for 7 EUR. Total cost = 42 EUR.

I have found that my engine runs smoothest with the Toyota 90915-YZZD3 filter and Valvoline full synthetic. The first time I put an OEM filter on the engine and fired it up, i was like woah! thats even smoother than usual!

I ALWAYS use a Toyota oil filter.

It's in-line with what they used to recommend and how I have always done it my whole life, so swapping the oil and filter at 10,000km with synthetic oil and a genuine filter is how I roll still.

I prefer to buy Pennzoil Platinum (high mileage or ultra) 5w30 and use a WIX or Toyota filter, whichever is cheaper.

A change with that oil and an OEM toyota filter costs me a bit more than $23.

That happened to me too. I went to Dick Dyer Toyota because it's closer to my house and they charged me $100 because they put in a new oil filter

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.
