I'm going to change my oil today in my Tacoma, and just curious on who makes the best oil filter. I've had some good luck with Pulolater One's, and the same with Wix. I'll buy a Fram if they are what are best for my truck, but i've had some bad experiences with them.
Who makes the best oil filter?

Denso takes first place.
Fram takes last.

You'll notice Fram does not do all that well.

I wound up buying a Fram filter today, and I'll just use it for a short while, and order up a bunch of Denso filters. I've got an online supplier that sells them for $5.30 each.

Pssst ... let ya in on a secret. Denso = Toyota
In Lexington, Toyota sells their filters for under 4 a piece-that is for 40's and trucks. They are always 25% off.

I can try my local dealer for filters sometime, but I already know that they will be way over priced. I went there the other day trying to find some 1.4w instrument bulbs, and they wanted like $4 a piece for them, and I said screw it, and I used some 1.2w bulbs I had sitting in a box at home, can't tell a difference at all.
Is it just me or did you guys miss how cheaply made the new toyota filters are??
If anyone here has run filters since the time they where made in Japan then you know how nice and well made those filters were. Then came the US made filters....yeah they got smaller and seemed fine but COMEON! the new made in Indonesia or where ever it is now just looks like crap and feels super cheap.

I returned the Fram filter today, and I bought one at the dealer, it was only $4.31 with tax 
, about $3 cheaper than the Fram...

Curious, what was it? 90915-what? They have changed the filters so much lately I can't keep up. At least they have gone back to Denso's, though they are not made in Japan anymore. The 90915-YZZB9/5 was a fine filter, while they were available.
I used 90915-20004 on my LX 450 and 2004 Tacoma. This filter fits nicely on both vehicles. I still have a case and half. Once they are gone, I will use Wix or Napa gold, or maybe the newer Amsoil oil filters.
Toyota, or WIX
Amsoil's are good to I hear

ask for the mp (master pack) version of the napa gold
same filter no fancy package
a LOT less money
or buy wix brand

The filter I used was 90915-YZZD3
I think i've might have found a source on an OEM equivilant filter, I think it's made by Denso, more once I figure it out.

Actually I think I might have found 2 filters that are relabeled Denso's, but with the cost of shipping, it will be cheaper to spend the $4.31 at the dealer

Fram is junk.
Buy napa. the part number for a yoter is 1348.
but you can run a filter listed for a mopar pos. its the same thread, and gasket size, just a bigger cartridge, holds more oil.

when i worked for that pos company, mopar, i was told the OE filters were made by WIX.
