I bought four filters at the stealer and i think they were a little cheaper than the mobil one ten dollar filters, if i remember right.
The cheaper filters do not have a check(?) valve in them which prevents dry startups.

I use Purolator Premium filters. Honestly, as long as it's coming from a good manufactor, it's good enough on most of our cars.

The newer Toyota filter is a piece of crap. (YZZxx) Toyota should be embarassed. The -20004 was/is awesome. I hear Wix is good. I'm using Mobil1 now. I frankly don't trust any of them except the -20004.

is YZZxx really bad?
i still have 7 of them unused!

i know it has paper as filter element instead of some sort of foam on the 20004 but it is much much better than FRAM though right?
