    i use WIX. no issues. i used FRAM for years, but i quit them after reading of failures. seeing one cut apart was enlightening. not much there. my fram motors were saved probably by my frequent oil changes.

    I use the K&N filter for the not on top, but they are too damn expensive. I'm gonna invest in a filter wrench and start using the Toyota Genuine

    I read AMSOIL recommends not using the EAO filters on Toyotas as per their website.

    Which part # are you using? Do you change them every 5k miles?

    They recommend that assuming you are doing extended drain intervals up to 25,000 miles. If your changing your oil every 5-7000 miles they are fine

    First if you shop you can find sales and get the price down to $9.
    Second I run 6K between changes so having a top filter is not all that expensive.

    I would also consider Mobil 1 and WIX filters. Both work well.

    $10 is not that much! I mean it's cheap insurance!

    I think k&n and mobile one are basically the same?

    for all of you using Wix filters...what number are you using? I bought one today and it is a good one inch shorter than the Toyota filter. The dealer gave me the first oil change and used a Thailand made
    $54 90915-YZZD3 Oil Filter 1 Case (QTY 10)
    90915-YZZD3(pretty sure I got that # right)...

    wondering if anyone has come up with a larger Wix filter that will fit the 4.0...

    That's what a mechanic buddy of mine says also. I have been using wix, but will probably go back to OEM when I switch to synthetic at my next change.
