Oil filter Wix or OEM Toyota

I use Mobil 1 with either a Wix or Mobil 1 filter.

At the recommendation of several others, I put a Wix in mine when I bought my Fit last year.

Both Wix and Purolator are made by the same company, Mann & Hummel so the top of the line filters (Purolator Boss & Wix XP) are about identical. IDK about the 20k mile one, haven't touched it yet but it should be on par or better than the Boss.

You can't go wrong with either as they are some of my favorite filters on the market due to how clean the internal construction & how solid the material quality is. The highest end Frams are fine to run but still not as good as Wix or Purolator, and nothing below Frams highest line is worth running imo.

Wix everything. It's the only filter I use in mine and customer cars. I've probably used 3,000 + over the last 20 years

I've had no issue with the WIX filters for my last two oil changes

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 keep using wix and haven’t had any issues

Subarus are honestly for the most part pretty easy to work on. Oil + filter changes are very easy. 30 ft/lbs, only use oem or wix filter imo

Delco and fram filters are no different. Wix is 100% way better and a lot less when you have a commercial account

Every. Fucking. One. Of those filters was fucked in there by a gorilla with a 1 inch impact. I fucking swear! What is it with lube monkeys and raping Toyota filters in? Hell, the last one I did still had the filter socket attached because that’s how fucking hard that thing got railed into place.
