Yeah, so im gonna service my car...
Ive doe some research into it all, I dont like the FRAMS from what I have read... I assume the toyota one would be good quality, and The Ryco... Well I dont know much, but they seem pretty good :D

If you dont like my choices, please substantiate why and what... :D

Oh yeah, I will be using either Helix semi-synth of magnatec oil...

Thanks
Karl

I personally, would go for the Toyota one dude, as it was made for Toyotas! I drive a Mitsi and every thing I use are Mitsi parts as cheap imitations will go very quick! Not worth the extra money you will end up paying to buy another one and the another! Just good parts, and you wont have to worry as much!

i'd just get a repco one, they do the job, and they are ment to be replaced every 6 months/10,000km's anyway so they shouldnt be in there long enough to fail, you will probably find that the repco ones come outta the same factory as the higher priced ones anyway, And as for toyota, if you want to spend a billion dollars on an oil filter be my guest! :lol:

One day when you have a spare $40 or so go and buy a genuine Toyota filter and then a no name Repco filter...and cut them cleanly in two down the middle.....I think you will find that theres a whole lot more than just the price thats different when you do :D
