Hi Scotty. Whats your opinion on using OEM or mobile 1 oil filters. I have been using mobile 1 synthetic cartridge filters for my 2010 rav4 260,000 KM. No issues, runs great.

OEM

OEM is good; I've used it for any Toyota or Honda I've ever owned and no issues at all. The dealership parts centers sometimes have sales where you can get a deal for buying 3 or more.

Both are fine. Mobil1 should have a longer service life but be more expensive. If you are changing oil and filter every 3-5000 miles, go with basic oil and OEM filter or equivalent. If you are trying to go longer, use a better oil and filter (and check the oil level and condition frequently)
