For the first five oil changes I used the OEM ISF filter, price was ~$10 at the dealer. The next time I tried to buy a filter they didn't have any in stock so I used the Fram filter, and since then it was Fram all time until I sold the car at 57k miles. There was no difference in the oil being drained, the filter did the job just fine. BTW, I used Mobil One since the beginning so that might have helped.

Nothing Blackstone Labs could measure when they processed my oil samples. They commented about the quality of filtration because the insolubles were so low. This with the 5.7l Tundra YZZ4 filter.
