I have read that Purolators are the best for the money. That is what have run in my last two cars, and have had no probs.

I have heard bad things about Frams. One problem i have with them, is when You take the old one off, the damn gasket always seems to stay on.

Baldwin also makes a very good oil filter. B33 for the Yaris.

In my unfortunate ignorance I used Fram's for years in my "domestic" vehicle. Eventually I got tappet noise and tried changing oil/filters more often, tried a high detergent additive, tried a Pennzoil filter (crap, too)--all to no avail. I put a Baldwin on it and the tappet noise went away on my next drive. I'm a believer.

Wix is one of the best from what i have read. Purolator PureONE and Mobil 1 filters are really good as well.

they use good filter media, and have actual metal end caps and valves, where as fram uses plastic/cardboard.


i changed out the breakin oil with Pennzoil Platinum and a mobile 1 filter about 2 weeks ago but have been using m1 filters for about 8 years now. my escorts engine looked new after 90K+ miles.


anyone have air filter numbers. i am in need of that info too. as i am staring down the barrel of a VOLCANIC eruption

Absolutely. Just get the one for the 2AZFE 2.4L motor - more filter area same bypass opening pressure, diameter and baseplate, threads, etc. I just ask for a filter for a 'Yota '05 Rav4 four cylinder. Fits like a charm.

Replacement part is not the OEM part. Its a cheap substitute made in Thailand. Support Great American manufacturers like WIX! I like Thai food though

Why would you say that? No car maker builds their own oil filters, right?
Also, I notice the Toyota filters have an O ring vs. the flat rings the aftermarket brands have.Must be for a reason, I've noticed this on dealer Hyundai filters too.
The Thai filters also have some kinda lube on them under the nice plastic wrapper that keeps junk out of the filter. Makes the dealer happy too to see a" Genuine Toyota Part" too.
I've used Purolator PureOne. I like the IROC blue paintjob.....

AC Delco looks different now. The last one I bought looked exactly like the STP oil filter.
Same company may even make filters for AC-Delco and STP, but there's been a redesign on the AC-Delco...different shade of blue, plastic inner tube, etc...

Yeah Ist, thats Champion Labs OEM. Makes all the Private label stuff. Never found it to be good. LOOKS ok though. Must be the paper media is substandard?? I Have one Supetech in my garage that I pulled off a 2007 Chevy Truck V6 that was having problems. The "OLD STYLE" DELco worked much better. Luckily I found some dusty old boxes of Delco at a locale Auto parts store and scooped 'em up. No Chevy truck anymore thoughJust the Yaris

My first choice is Purolator Pure One http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ONEPL30001.jpg

My second choice is Baldwin (Hastings)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...dwinB2-HPG.jpg

My third choice is Wix also branded as NAPA (gold).
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...5-Wix51515.jpg

Beware of Champion Labs E-Core branded as STP, AC and Super Tech as fiber end caps peel off easy. This design also finishes last in every test I ever saw.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ave/STPS8A.jpg

Also Fram has been cost cutting over the years and uses Cardboard end caps. Every filter study I see is weary of this design.
