Just Bought Royal Purple For My Scion Tc 06 .What Oil Filter

I bought the royal purple oil, but have no clue as to what oil filter to get. I went ahead and bought the mobile 1 brand. Is that good? Or should I get another brand?

Yup. I also use the toyota filter...even after switching to RP. OEM filter, ftw!

Addendum: Well, this might clear up some Q's...from the Maintenance section https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=59333

I've always been skeptical about Royal Purple.

Royal Purple is over priced and kinda junky if you ask me. But you should always use OEM filters.

oil filters all do the same function, basically your just buying one for another based on the brand. TRD is more expensive then quality

Am thinking the new TRD oil filter is made by K&N but labeled TRD, they look very similar. As for Royal purple I noticed a bit of difference when I moved away from the dyno oil.
