This was recommended here when I did research for my 2F, but I haven't used it yet. Not expensive and easy to find onine. I read negative comments about Wix. Fram is another option to buy locally.
Changing oil and filter often is more important to me than the brand. I have a Franz toilet paper filter unit I'm going to put on.

Who do you buy your parts through? Any company you recommend?
I have used cruiser corps a bunch in the past. I also need to get a gas tank sending unit gasket but they are out of them.
I use a ford filter. Can't remember the part number
Mine is a PH8A I bought a bunch on close out.

Ask 10 people and you will likely get 10 different responses. I like to support our Mud vendors when possible. But other times, it may make sense to procure parts through a Toyota dealer. Sine we don't have a "local" option, I prefer Capo Valley Toyota Parts Center. Their website provides 24/7 service to accommodate those middle of the night parts needs and they provide a small discount for Mud members:

At the top, just enter the part number. No need to enter the year or VIN. Sometimes, it is a two-step process: Find the part number using the Toyota Electronic Parts Catalog https://toyota-usa.epc-data.com; then armed with the part number plug that into your preferred dealer's website.

Pick a newer 2f model, or put in the part # given above

Mobil One 301a (pretty sure that’s the correct #)
I have 2 DD 2F’s. Been using Mobil One filters for the last decade. Walmart always has them in stock.

Thank you
That Denso filter is too small, imo.
I'm using a 25-micron MicroGard 'Select.' The pressure on the instrument cluster gauge seems to show that more oil is making it thru the filter - not scientific, just anecdote. I'm relying on the detergent package in the oil to keep things clean, so frequent oil changes are imperative.
