If you care about what oil filter you use, check out this web site.

It is a very good non biased look at oil filter construction. I learned a lot.

Stay away from Fram. (in my opinion)

Agreed. Fram is a must not on a Lexus or for any car.

Thumbs up Mobil 1

I know most of the members stick with the Lexus/Toyota oil filter ( made by Texaco, I believe ). Of course, I don't recall who makes the filter for Texaco!? :eek: I've had no problems with the Mobil 1 filter leaking or otherwise & it goes just fine with the M1 oil!
