[The filter was this](https://m.autodoc.co.uk/bosch/11156545)
You could do another oil and filter change to see if it was that or if the oil was just a coincidence.
I ALWAYS use a Toyota oil filter.
It's in-line with what they used to recommend and how I have always done it my whole life, so swapping the oil and filter at 10,000km with synthetic oil and a genuine filter is how I roll still.
I prefer to buy Pennzoil Platinum (high mileage or ultra) 5w30 and use a WIX or Toyota filter, whichever is cheaper.
A change with that oil and an OEM toyota filter costs me a bit more than $23.
OEM Mahle/Mann are best. Next best is the higher end Bosch filters.
Oil and filter every 5k miles give or take a couple hundred. Air filter... when it gets dirty or once a year. Which ever is first. Most of the time it is the year.
every 5k miles for me to stave off the inevitable HG issue. 160k miles on a 3rd gen which is notorius for HG problems if you don't change your oil.
This is normal. Funnily enough, a Toyota dealer is probably the cheapest place to get a 0w20 oil change (TGMO from Exxon-Mobil) and OE filter for your vehicle.
Bosch filters are almost as bad a FRAM now.
