Question Engine Oil and Filter

I recently bought 2004 RX330 at 126K miles.
I was told that engine oil is due.
I bought Mobi 1 advanced synthetic oil and planning to take it to mechanic to get oil changed.
Also got WIX 51348XP Xp Spin-On Lube Filter.
Has anyone have experience with this brand of filter? good or bad?
I did find any posts with discussing this brand for 2004 RX330.

Wix has had a long history of good filter media construction. Reportedly NAPA Gold filters are produced by Wix.

I've had good experience with Mobil 1 5W-30 and the Lexus/Toyota OEM filter is good quality and reasonable cost.

Looks like you nailed it.

I put Wix in Top 5 filters

1) Amsoil Ea
2) Royal Purple
3) Mahle
4) Wix
5) Fram Ultra Syn.
