    Hello All,
    My Prius is at 220k, getting approx. 41 MPG with normal Michelin tires. I change me oil every 5k, current flavor is Quaker State Ultimate 5w30.
    I've been getting most parts from Rock Auto.
    My current running on oil filters is WIX 51516. A bit larger than stock but fits well in the space provided.
    Overall I believe it is a quality filter. Anti-Drain back valve was still soft and flexible after 5k, metal end caps, spring loaded bypass valve, no cardboard.

    Here's some pictures of the filter cut open.

    Hope this helps others.
