90915-YZZD1 vs Mobil 1
I've searched through many threads and nobody has actually really compared these two filters. Which one do you guys recommend, the Toyota 90915-YZZD1 or the Mobil 1 brand?

The Toyota 90915-YZZD1 was designed by Denso - a Japanese company that has supplied Toyota with
most of its filters and numerous other parts since the 1950's. Denso thus helped Toyota establish it's world renowned reputation for building the most reliable and durable cars in the world. Now If the Denso company did not exist and Toyotas were made with parts made by Bosch, Delco, Mopar, Motorcraft, Mobil, etc. what kind of car would a Toyota end up being? Answer: Just another unreliable and unexceptional car brand like Ford, Volkswagen, etc. If that unexceptional standard of reliability is good enough for you, then
feel free to use all the aftermarket parts, filters and fluids that are found in chain type auto parts stores.

Well there ya go! Neither OEM nor aftermarket filters are perfect. I'll stick with either the K&N or Mobil 1 oil filters.

The 90915-20004, a true Japanese-quality Denso filter, is the way to go if you can still find them.
How do you tell between them these days? The info I have on differentiating between them is a couple years outdated.

Honda has been using Fram for a while. I made it a point to get only Filtech/Toyo Roki filters when I change the oil on my neighbor's Accord.

I use K&N oil filters in my cars, truck, and motorcycle. The best in my opinion!
I cut apart the filters in my camaro every time i change the oil, since i drag race it often. The construction and quality of the K&N filter is by far the best ive seen.
