Hey everyone I was wondering what the best oil filter for these cars are. I have seen possibly the Mobil 1 and Bosch filters are maybe the best because of price and pleat count? If not tell me what you all believe is and thanks!

OEM. I buy them from my local Toyota dealer. No Lexus up-charge for the same part #.

Does it have more pleats than oem? and is it better quality?

Not the expert but pleat count isn't factor if it maintains flow and filters at level equal to or better than OEM.

There canister filters are some of the best in the industry. Not cheap just like other big names. Just try and open one. These will never burst! lol

FWIW I inspect the removed filters periodically for anything the engine may shed. In 20,000 mi I've not seen a thing. That said I am less worried about pleats. Its the quality you want.
