Default Re: Do filters last as long as synthetic oil?

I was looking at the oil display in the Walmart Automotive section last night. I was looking to see if they carried the 0W -20 oil yet. Nope not here in our town of 38,000.

I did see a large container of Mobil One Oil, Extended Oil Change. It read 15,000 miles guaranteed. I did not read the fine print or if they mentioned using a Mobil One Filter or not. They may make 7500 to 10,000 mile filters but I feel safer with the 5000 mile oil and filter changes.

I do know that one of the best is the Purolator One oil filter. It's a one micron filter. It's tested using the full flow method which it like being tested in real driving conditions.

In America, Purolator was making the Toyota oil filters back in 2003. I'm not sure if they still do but the filter still looks like the Purolator other than the color.

I wonder how many brands of filters are now made in China. I buy my filters from the Dealer so it will match what came on our new TCH.
