Does anyone use Mobil 1 oil filter? I received 6 for free,
but not sure if they're any good, compared to the Toyota
oil filters that my Lexus uses.

I have used Mobil 1 synthetic oil in all of my cars, since
the first oil change. However, I have no experience with
Mobil 1 oil filters. In fact, I didnt' even know Mobil 1
made oil filters until I received them.

I've used them for years in my supra and GS300. Nothing wrong with them. Just a little costly. Oh, btw. I don't use toyota filter anymore since they are no longer made by denso and are made in thailand now. I've switched to either mobile 1 or purolator pure gold filter. Both are proven to be the best in terms of filtering out contaminants.

Have always used the Mobil 1 filters along with the oil on every car I have ever owned. Can't go wrong.
