Oil filter OEM Toyota or OEM Mazda

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.

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

all my Toyotas have had free oil changes and 2 tire rotations per year with Platinum Family Plan.

after I reached 120k miles on my last 2 trucks I did it myself . Oil Filter OEM Toyota were 8-10$ and 35$ for 6 quarts of Full Synthetic Oil

I've done Blackstone reports on my 2012 sequoia 5.7L for the last 6 years I've owned it (now at 140k miles). They always say I'm good with my 10k mobile one oil/Toyota filters and reports are always good.

I personally do an old and filter every 6-7000 km. I do it so frequently because, 1) I do it myself, so cost is down and I make sure the job is done right. 2) the sky active engines are known for carbon buildup, so more frequent oil changes should help. 3) Longevity, I want to see 300,000 or more on the dash one day.

People like me on the other hand are going for synthetic oil and Mazda OEM filters but still need to get an oil change at 5000 miles.

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.
