The Toyotas

Changed all the drivetrain fluids this evening. Everything looked great except for my old oil filter. I think I'm going to need to find another filter brand, WIX just isn't the same anymore.

I’ve been running the O’Reilly house brand on the RAV4. MicroGard Selects. Working good so far. Get good reviews from what I’ve seen. They are rebaged Premium Guard filters.

Not sure about the Tacoma filters but the RAV4 forum I read has had a bunch of reports of the Toyota branded filters being hit or miss lately.

I work at a Toyota dealer. I know there was an issue with Gray market parts, from NON Toyota distributers., but never had an issue with what we have. 90915-YZZA1

Lots of complaints of the pleats coming apart and the end seals not being as good as they used to be.

I used my two factory oil changes and whatever the dealer put on worked fine. I have used the Premium Guards the rest of the time without any issue.
