    I have a 2004 Tacoma SR5 and I am needing to replace the fuel filter. OReilly's has Microgaurd and Wicks. Are these ok brands to put on my truck? If not, what is the best brand of fuel filter?

    Wix is a great filter to use. Or OEM.

    I use the Toyota ones and keep them on the shelf for when the urge strikes to change the filter

    I have used Wix in the past
