    if the thin 0w20 looks like water, wait til you do your first 30k maintainence and see how thin the 75w85 gl5 gear oil that Toyota recommends in the diffs. has the consistency of orange Gatorade

    Amsoil Ea filters list their efficacy rating on the box; 98.7% efficient @ 20 microns.

    By contrast, I have no idea what the TRD line of filters rating is... It's a mystery. That being said, I'm sure they are great filters.

    I wanna say the TRD's are rated 98% @ 20 and the OEM is rated at like 87-93% @ 20. I don't have any evidence to back this up, I just go on them not being worse and I like the metal ends on the TRD filter plus the TRD is synthetic media vs the OEM paper.

    I'm using Mobil EP for similar reasons.
    I'm not too keen on the open pleats on the ends.

    I believe Mobil manufactures the Toyota synthetic 0w20 for the US market. Maybe that is why it is in Mobil drums? Idemitsu was the previous manufacturer if I remember correctly.

    How does home oil changes and warranty work? You just record it in the manual and keep reciepts? Seems like toyotA could call BS on you in the event of a major engine issue related to oil

    By law they can't deny any manufacturer warranty by you doing your own. Receipts aren't necessary but if you want peace of mind then keep them.

    Amsoil Signature Series! On a side note, I've had my oil tested after 1 year/15K miles and the lab basically said the oil was A-OK and good for at least a few thousand more miles.

    EDIT: I do change my OEM filter every 5K miles...

    Whatever is on sale. Changing it is the most important part.

    I run my 2.7L pegged out for about 8 miles a day up an 7.5% grade. I change mine every 5k, oil is still somewhat clear. I plan to switch to 5w-30 at 75k. 0w-20 is only for mpg's and 10k oil changes are for the tree huggers, fact.
