hello,

I decided to change my oil DIY I bought 5w-30 syn. extended performace 15k mobile 1 for 26 dollars 5Q. My gs 350 07 needs 6.6quarts I need to order oil filter anyone have info on where to buy for good price? and I need to buy sst filter cap to remove the old filter. what size and where to buy for cheap? can i go to toyota and ask them to sell me the pruis 1? The choice mobile 1 extended performance a good choice?

 

Got a local Toyota or Lexus dealer? The OEM oil filters are pretty cheap. The oil cap wrench, well that's a different story. They're 64mm. The OEM wrench is pricey at about $50. There is an aftermarket "TOY640" that can be had on-line for about $20 w/shipping.

 

I bought a filter cap wrench at Auto Zone for under $9.00. Toyota sella the oil filter for $3.00 less than Lexus - same filter!

 

called lexus and toyota filter cap wrench at lexus is 13 sumthing and toyota is 10 sumthing oilfiters A5 model at toyota and lexus is 541

 

Obviously geography plays a role.

 

in located in santa clara

 

Mobil 1 use to be a good oil until they change the formula for the US market, but it is still miles ahead of the oil that the Lexus dealers use. The best oil right now is Royal purple, Amsoil and red line in my opinion. The European Castro blend that BMW dealer use is pretty good too.

 

i agree... i heard the newer Mobil 1 breaks down sooner.... doesn't stand up to bmw's 15k oil change intervals, like before... Amsoil!

 

wow.. thx for the info guys
