Oil Filter Questions

Red Stick · 07-15-2009, 06:02 PM

It seems to be the consensus that we use genuine Toyota oil filters. Any ideas on where to buy them by the case? I paid $6.00 with tax at the dealership today.
Does everyone here change the oil about every 5K?

Thanks

The forum search feature is a bit wonky at the moment. There are online sources to buy a case of yoda filters, usually works out to under $4.50 a filter that way

I went 16,000 km - the normal EU oil change interval for a Prius - running the yoda filter and Mobil 1 0W-20. Oil analysis came back fine. Be forewarned that if something should go wrong if you extend intervals, you could enter into a real pissing match with Toyota

You might try metrotpn.com they sell a lot of Toyota parts. I have also found filters and parts at Toyota of Dallas.

I will check the next time I go to the dealer. $6 is not bad. Ask for a case price as I will. You can get a free Mobil 1 filter at AUTO Zone and Discount with the purchase of an oil change.

I'm using a much larger capacity filter and don't know that I even pay $6 per - name brand too in PureOne.

The PureOne is supposed to have a good reputation. I'm sure you're aware that the 2010 requires a cartridge oil filter
