Are the Toyota oil filters any better than typical aftermarket ones such
as Fram or purolator standard filters which are 94 percent efficient? I
know that some premium filters are 99 percent efficient. I have used
Fram filters and wonder if the extra cost of premium filters is worth it.

Not a fan of Fram oil filters, but their ATF kit works great. In the
longer term PureOne or Bosch Filtech (Bosch now owns Purolator) are
excellent choices and should reduce engine wear a lot more than the
typical 25 micron filters. In fact, some Bosch Filtechs now look like
reboxed PureOnes as a result.

I've always used the $5.99 Purolator PureOne (www.pureoil.com). It has
the highest multi-pass efficiency (~98%) and more importantly filters
more finer particles than the typical 25 micron. I googled one time
this guy found no particles above 15 microns passed the PureOne. But
these are backyard rig tests so believe what you will.

There are no recent filter studies people point to. But if Toyota can
ship oil filters all the way from Thailand, sell them at coupon
discount prices and still make more money than a Made-in-USA filter,
then I am staying away from Toyota filters. You can't ship manure that
cheaply can you?

Up here in Ontario the Toyota dealer where I get my oil changes done
only charges $6.99 (Canadian)
for a Toyota oil filter
He charges me $15.00 to change my oil and I supply the Mobil 1 5W30
for him to do it as well

I cant buy Mobil one as cheaply here in Ontario as I can in Niagara
Falls NY , USA

Gray cap here in Ontario at Walmart sells for $37.00+change(Canadian)
+14% taxes,and in Niagara Falls Ny it sells for $27.00+ and change
+8.25% taxes.US dollars.)

A BIG difference especially with the Canadian dollar almost at par
with the US dollar.

Ed,

Looks like the OEM filter was Denso

Perhaps you can get comparable Denso filters from
