That poll is kind of useless with only 3 choices besides 'other'.

Nice truck, shoot me a PM if you ever head down with some free time. Someone else on the board is close by too but I forget.

Thanks. I'll be there this weekend for a wedding but not with my 4Runner.
At the end of the Summer I will be in Mobile for 2 weeks or so. We will have to catch up then.

ElwayLite 05-27-2004 03:46 PM

cool lemme know. I'll be around for sure. I wont be here either this weekend, goin to the gulf to relax and drink a few cold ones.

AUJWE 05-27-2004 04:15 PM

Sounds good.

The AMSOIL filter has the best filtration efficiency, but isn't cost effective at a 5K mile interval. The Mobil1 and Pure1 are second best at filtration, but the Mobil1 filter is even more expensive than the AMSOIL (to it's credit, though, it is good for 12,500 miles!). Thus that leaves the Pure1 as the best deal -- almost as good at filtration for about half the cost.

The Toyota filters are hit or miss. If you can get the ones made in Japan great (some Tundra owners go to Lexus dealers to find them), but the ones made by Champion labs are inferior. Champion does make some good filters, but they also make a lot of low quality filters as well...

I use the toyota filters now just becuase they are closest to me. I used to use the NAPA gold, and the Mobil One. Both are excelent filters from what I've heard.

Yota OEMs and Purolator PureOnes... I like to switch 'em every once in awhile.

I've read filter reviews and the best bang for the buck is the STP. Very, very similar quality to the Bosch and Mobile filter but at a fraction of the cost.

I use OEM Toyota filters, their not the japanese ones but I don't really care just as long as it says Toyota, Im doing 5k intervals on Mobil drive clean dino juice and after hitting 15k I feel like I had a increase in gas mileage, think Im gonna eventually switch to 5w30 M1 and do 7500 mile changes.

Im a hard driver, truck see redline often

Napa Golds are actually manufactured/rebranded by Wix. I use an oversized Wix....

I use the purolator pure 1 (p3001, i think, Its the TLC filter) and change oil every 5000 miles.

HaveBlue 05-28-2004 08:36 AM

Mobil 1 and oversized Wix filter every 5-6K miles.

Sunday BBQ 05-28-2004 10:22 AM

Holy crap! I can't believe you guys what 5, 6, or 7k miles for an oil change!!! Don't you know that you are supossed to do it every 3k? Most of the time, I don't even wait 3000 miles before I change the oil. Wow.... you guys are crazy... especially if you go off-roading.
