Wix, Purolator pure one, or Mobile 1 filters

i used wix filter and (german) castrol syntech 0w30

 

[supraman7mgte]

your gonna get many diferent answers to this question!
I think Toyota recommends 10w30
Does it have a remote oil filter?

Mediocre filter at best (made in Thailand now, not Denso) and not a true syn oil...Grp III hydrocracked dino base stock.
Might want to spend some time reading the oil section.

Wix filters are hard to beat for the price.
Castrol European Formula (aka German Castrol) 0W-30 is an outstanding oil. Group IV PAO synthetic (unlike the above Valvoline).

Hmmm...I'd like to change her oil :naughty:

 

[AGlobalThreat]

Napa Gold filter

Eneos 5w30 oil
or
Redline 5w30 oil

Both are full synthetics, IIRC Eneos is group 4 and Redline is group 5

So you are saying you know a lot about cars?

 

[AGlobalThreat]

No he just knows about them

The problem is there's only a couple filters that are worthwhile...Mobil 1 and K&N (both Champion Labs filters...same as WalMart SuperTech) come to mind. While both are good filters, the Wix is better for less $$$.

And, Mobil 1 oil is another Grp III hydrocracked oil being sold as a "synthetic". Personally if I'm going to pay synthetic prices, I'm going to get a Grp IV or V synthetic oil.

Modern synthetics usually don't have this problem. The "syn oil will cause a leak" come from back when the PAO oils 1st hit the market...PAO will cause engine seals to shrink...ester will cause seals to expand. The syn oils on the market now use ester as a seal conditioner, so the original problem is largely gone. It's going to depend on the condition of the engine seals.

I wouldn't use Toyota filters, even if they were free...at least the ones in the US
Denso Japan, different story.

 

[Dylan JZ]

Denso JP Filter, German Castrol 0w-30.. jdub gave me the info on the benefits of going in this direction and I'll never go back.
