Oil filter OEM Subaru or OEM Toyota
In comparison, my local mechanic shops charges around the same price but they don't use OEM filters so I rather go to my local dealership.
My '88 Supra is typically just annual oil changes, maybe $40 for synthetic and filter. I've owned it about 14 years.
I got to Toyota next door for oil and alignment. $170 for both.
Toyota does all the maintenance on my Lexus’s once the freebies at Lexus are done. All charges are a good bit cheaper.
Use OEM filter, they are better than K&N and are very affordable, I usually order 5 at a time from Toyota
Yeah on a vertical filter, i always put a bit of fresh oil on the rubber gasket so why not fill up the filter while at it. I put just a little bit in horizontal filters and for the top mounted filter on my ancient toyota I pat it and wish it luck
Wait until you change the filter on a Subaru where the filter is upside down.
all my Toyotas have had free oil changes and 2 tire rotations per year with Platinum Family Plan.
after I reached 120k miles on my last 2 trucks I did it myself . Oil Filter OEM Toyota were 8-10$ and 35$ for 6 quarts of Full Synthetic Oil
I've done Blackstone reports on my 2012 sequoia 5.7L for the last 6 years I've owned it (now at 140k miles). They always say I'm good with my 10k mobile one oil/Toyota filters and reports are always good.
I swapped in a new Subaru OEM oil filter on my 2016 MT. After a short 1.5 miles drive, thin smoke escaped from beneath the hood, and a pool of oil gathered. Oil was literally burbling up from beneath the oil filter and spilling out. I immediately turned off the engine. I will not be using anymore of the junk OEM oil filters.
