I use the yellow puralotor pureone for a toyota v8. its like the one for the sc300 but almost twice as long.
I also use it on the GX470 and the RX300. its just a really good filter that fits on all my toyota's.
I would also use the factory toyota one for a v8 listed above but i prefer the puralotor pureone it is actually supposed to filter better than average.

Yup, the Ea filters, thats what I use. Change every 8-10k miles depending on how I feel. They're excellent and rated fro 15k miles and crazy efficient. I try not to think too hard about them because it's just an oil filter after all, but I've been nothing but impressed with them so far.

its like the v8 filter listed above just the Purolator pureone brand.
I really like the texture on it, it makes it so much easier to grip when it comes time to remove it, the toyota ones are shiny they like to just slip once a little oil gets on them.
the stock size one for the v6 or I6 is a PL10241, but its so small I don't like to use them anymore.
the only thing that would stop me from using the longer filter on a vehicle is if its too long to fit, but haven't had that problem yet.

Just went and looked at it its a Pl20195. I read about it on supraforums.

I am running full synthetic mobil one in all my cars 5-30 on the dailies year round, sc300 gets 10-30 in summer and 5-30 in winter (not that It sees much winter use but that what it gets).
I have never heard of it being rated for synthetic or not, I would be shocked if you couldn't use it with synthetic its probably just something they put on the label to make you feel nice and warm Tommy boy style.
I did notice the one you listed is not the pure one line. do note that some of their other filters are basically off the shelf filters like fram etc.. its the pureone line that had the better filtration, and after some reading online it seems the "synthetic" line might be the latest and best version. I have been using only the pureone for years after I read about it and I don't have a single complaint about them. the added texture and color is actually quite a nice addition.
for example you can find the PSL20195 which says synthetic but its not the pureone line. difference seems to be the "s" in the part number.
apparently this synthetic one is their latest, I didn't even know they had one of these, but its saying its like the pureone but has metal backed pleats, and looks to be more expensive $10 vs $8 online.
I guess it would be fine to use that one also with synthetic oil, maybe even better than the pureone (will have to do more reading on it, thanks for mentioning it).
It would probably be a good filter but the PL20195 is probably easier to find at the store.
I would use toyota filters but who wants to drive there all the time. getting the bulk of 10 online is a good deal I would certainly consider that in the future but I like the pureone.
I had been using the smaller version but just recently went to the v8 size, the bigger filter seems to be a better match especially for turbo users.

I mentioned about the oil on the filter, I have gloves and am well aware how to remove a regular filter even with oil on it lol, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a company that makes an easy to grip oil filter.
I can have my hand covered in oil and still get a good grip on the thing.

I said that my filters and oil are rated for 15k intervals, but I do them every 8k. My oil looks like it's only been in for 3k when i do my changes and I've never had any problems. I'd swear by AMSOil products if I could, they make excellent fluids, and I use them everywhere. If I hadn't already done my tranny and diff when I bought the car they'd be AMSOil too.
Have you used AMSOil products, do you maybe know something I don't or are you just ragging on me based on what you think?

The abnormal thing is actually changing oil every 3k miles. People in Europe, where i lived, change their oil every 8-15k miles, my dad thinks people here are insane for changing their oil so often, or maybe the oil just sucks, I'll be trying amsoil from now on because I'm sick of oil looking like garbage after 3k miles. There's something really wrong about the oil here, and i use Mobil 1.

No, I do not know the ingredients, nor have I done an oil analysis. Maybe you are right, maybe this is something I should have done on my next oil change just to see what kind of results I get. It can't hurt to know more. I think I will do exactly that, and maybe I will even post about it. If I'm indeed in the wrong here I'll definitely adjust my oil change intervals for a more healthy interval for my engine life. I'm only about 2k in on this current interval right now.

there are PLENTY of oil analysis on the amsoil motor oils.
the signature series is guaranteed up to 25k miles. 15k miles for the first time the motor is using the amsoil motor oil.
just because your motor oil is dirty at 3k miles, doesn't mean it's bad. what it actually means, is that your filtration sucks. properties of the oil itself have not been lost. honestly, you can run more than one oil filter, you just have to run an adapter plate, and AN lines. you can have 2,3,4 oil filters if you really wanted to.
amsoils uses their own blend of synthetic, which is why no one knows the formula. just like coca-cola, it's their trade secret.
just read through the features of what the Signature series oil can bring, and you'll see that it can handle much harsher conditions than other motor oils.
there are maybe a handful motor oils that are a true class 4 synthetic, amsoil being one of them.
my next oil change will be with the amsoil signature series.

(15,5 k Miles)
i think changing oil every 3000 miles (4500 km) is a waste of moneyand oil and bad for the environment
normally you would only change that if you tow big trailers
btw i use 90915-YZZD3 because i honest believe that OEM filters are the best
