TRD High Flow Oil Filters - Toyota Yaris Forums

Speaking of M1 filters, whom is the supplier? Still Champion labs or is it Hastings or wix. I heard it can vary by application. I's the M1 more restrictive due to a less porous "paper"?

it's funny that people assume that because Mobil is printed on the box that Mobil must make the filter ;)

i don't understand why people don't just stick to a "toyota" filter. they're inexpensive, of good quality (not just paper inside) and look great on the car ;)

Mobil 1 filters are made by Champion Labs and they are very similar to Pure One Premium Filter... They have more restriction due to a fiber (fiberglass) enhanced media... The top tier Wix filters also have a fiber (fiberglass) enhanced media. interesting how the argument can go on about what filter is better. One filter that I would never use is the Fram. There is so much written about how inferior they are due to cost cutting.

Go for the Wix or the Toyo if you are changing your oil at 5K

The Amsoil filter is a great option but you need to use it with their oils for extended change intervals in order to see the financial benefit from it.
