Toyota filters are average at best...the ones I listed above are the most bang for the buck.
WalMart Super Tech filters are better than Toyota

Mobil-1 is just a champion labs product.. no added benefit as the Mobil-1 Oil. Stick with Toyota.

Very true, but it's an upgraded Champion filter
This is what a person should do...take a look at what you're putting in your pan and what you're screwing on for a filter. This is what I was getting at when I asked Alex what his reason was for using it...Nice job :icon_bigg
The Mobile 1 is actually a very good filter and uses a synthetic media per below...it is on par with the PureOne filtering capability wise. You're going to pay for it though.

Like I said above, the Toyota filter is not that good...it's not going to hurt your car, but there are better filters out there for the money.

Well I take my car to Mobil1 for oil changes because I have no jacks. I have never had a problem with oil pressure, oil consumption etc using Mobil1 oils so I went with the same filter. Figured it would be best. I don't mind paying for a good quality filter and oil so $45 for an oil change with Mobil1.
If you think Mobil1 is synthetic like it says on the bottle, you are dead wrong. You are paying synthetic price for a hydrocracked oil (dyno oil). It's still not a bad oil, but I wouldn't put it in my turbo car. If you want a true synthetic, try Castrol 0W30 european formula, Redline, or Amsoil .

^^^ Yep...dead on. Royal Purple is also a true syn oil. If you're going to run a hydrocracked oil, Pennzoil Platinum is a better base stock than Mobil 1 and a better add pack. IMO, you should run a true syn in a turbo car...no heavier than a 10W-40. If a 5W-30 or 0W-30 gives you the pressures in the TRSM at operating temp, I would use that.
Running German Castrol here...why?
Go to the oil section...I did a write-up on it.

I know it is not a true synthetic. BTW it is still cheaper than regular synthetics so I guess it is priced right. I read a very good write up in DSport about oils and such. I am just not to keen on paying almost $9 per quart for oil and a 7MGE. When I get my car back as turbo that will probably change.

Where can you buy these (I have a pretty good idea on the NAPA one
) and how much are they?
AlexSmith said:
No, you're not. But as JJ so tactfully put it, you are paying too much for what you get. If you go to Mobil for the convenience and you have the $$$ to burn, go for it. For me, If I'm going to pay syn oil prices...I want a real syn oil in the pan

Mobil 1 and the Castrol European Formula (German Castrol) are about the same price
At least at AutoZone they are, I've caught the German Castrol on sale for $3.50 a quart just by checking the Sunday paper flyers

I buy the Wix on-line at Rock Auto. Pep Boys sells the PureOne...about $5 iirc.
BTW - the NAPA Gold is a Wix filter
