I just stumbled across this forum and have been doing some research. I've always been a fan of using the best oil, and even, more importantly, the best oil filter for my vehicles. Current vehicle is a '13 Tundra with the 5.7 flex engine. I tow a 6,000 lb. travel trailer a few weekends a year.
I just learned that the TRD filters fit my Tundra engine. I also read a lot of good things about the Amsoil filters. From secondhand information, it seems like both filters claim a 98% reduction in particulates at a 20 micron size. I haven't been able to find any data on my OEM paper filter, but going to the full synthetic filter (both TRD and Amsoil) I expect an improvement in filtering.
If it matters I'm likely going to use Penzoil Platinum oil. Mobil 1 is also a smaller possibility.
Are the TRD and Amsoil pretty equivalent? Do you recommend a different filter?
