OEM Toyota

I used to use the AMSOIL high flow filters but they changed the design and now they cost $12 each.

I got a 10 pack of Toyota filters for $35.

K&N for me. Holds better filtration and higher pressures and temperatures. Plenty of race proven customers I used to help came in and wouldn't use anything else so, for a lot of highway and fast city driving, that's what I go with.

Wix is a great brand too. I think NAPA carries them.

Bosch filters are nice, I would say equal to oem and you can get them at any Autozone.

I use Mobil 1 filters with Mobil 1 oil. They are durable and last 5k. I also use K&N sometimes. Both are great!

K&N runs you ~12$ at Autozone
Part number I'm not sure, it's on the back side of my filter the way it's screwed on. (ask the counter and they'll tell you)

No plus model for the K&N. It's a race filter already.

I get mine at Autozone. Most auto stores should carry them. I think they are around $11. Just ask the person at the counter they will look it up for you on the computer. I haven't seen any other type of K&N oil filter.
