    Amsoil is the best filter. Hands down. 15,000 mile change interval. superior filtration.

    My mann is bigger than yours and lasts longer. :D

    I used a Mobil1 in my newer truck because it came with the truck (installed with the first oil change) but I have used OEM since then...cheap and quite well made- and backed up by chris4x4!

    I'm running Mann filters (recommended by my Amsoil rep). They're conspicuously absent from all these filter comparisons. :(

    Has anyone disassembled one to see how they're constructed or how they compare with Toyota/OEM filters? Are they really up to the recommended 75K mi / 6 mo rating? :confused:

    I have only had Mobil 1 or Toyota's OE filter. I hear the K&N is nice, but honestly Toyota's OEM seems to do the trick just fine. my 1990 4runner I used mobil 1 all the time.

    Only reason I vote for K&N is the nut on top of the filter. But to each his own...
