Gonna change my oil soon with spring around the corner, temperatures will be in the 30's-50's still for the next few months. What's the most suitable oil I should go with in my 145k mile 5SFE? Also, which filters do you guys use? I was on Jeepforum with my previous Jeep and it was made clear NEVER to use Fram filters as they're made of cardboard! |

FRAM = Crap! if you google Fram filters you will find a site that shows how poorly they are made and they come apart. when the paper in teh filter comes apart is goes through your system and yes spins bearings or cloggs passages.
use OEM filters YZZ-F1 i believe is the filter used on both teh 5S and 7A now. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
