    I use the Toyota filter that's made for the 4.0 liter engines in the 2nd gen Tacoma's. Same thread pitch but it's a little bigger giving you more filter media. You can pull the skirt back in your driver side wheel well to get to it easier when changing.

    Is this going to be just as bad as "what oil" or "what tranny fluid" debates?

    I certainly wouldn't waste your money on those "high performance" ones, like the $15 K&N's.

    Honestly, it doesn't really matter. The most important thing is to just change your oil at regular intervals.

    FWIW, I've used Fram filters in all my vehicles for the last 2 decades. The ones with the black traction material on the ends to make them easier to grab on to. They cost the same, if not less than the OEM brand, and work just as well.

    Have heard horror stories regarding fram filter failure but Iike mentioned above some have ran them for years with no issues. I'll spend the extra buck on oem because that could be way cheaper then a new engine if the reviews on cheap filters ring to be true. This topic/debate has been beaten to death OP. Tons of threads on this in TW. Filters are not all created equal,@chris4x4 did a pretty thorough comparison on this as well
