I have been using Wix(lately), Mobil1, and Amsoil. And they are excellent filters. After alot of research and particicpation on http://bobistheoilguy.com/ I have discovered adding a bypass filter to the system is the best way to go. I found some used yet in good shape Frantz bypass canisters and hooked them up to both my 4runners. My oils stays cleaner much longer and the bypass refills amount to $1/pc. Nothing more than a roll of 500 sheet Scott toilet tissue. I don't go for all of the oil testing and "lab research" myself. Just leave that to the other folks who have the inclinations for that sort of thing and apply their findings. I'd recommend a bypass in addition to the regular spin on to anyone interested in excellent filtering. Got one the auto tranny in the '92. And when I get aroung to it, I am going to install them in both fuel systems as well. And to boot, ALL the filters are interchangeable. Weeee!
