    @pinktaco808 since you asked that question ( post #1) you may want to watch this in its entirety. Some may see this as trash but this video gave me new insight regarding oil changes. https://youtu.be/v4JS7PybV2k

    That's a completely different engine and the issue as been addressed. Not even related to the 2.7 which as been using 0w20 for 12 years.

    A brand new “dry” engine will take 6.1 quarts. Most of the time 5.5 quarts will refill to top mark on dipstick unless using larger YZZD3 oil filter. I recommend purchasing 6 quarts, adding 5.5, then check level on dipstick.

    The oil spec is on your oil fill cap as well as the owners manual.

    The filters you can get at the dealer, NAPA or other outlets. Catalogs contain the right P/N for your application.

    For intervals, 10k or 1 year, whichever comes first. Just reset the 'service' light when you change it, even if it hasn't lit yet. It flashes at startup at 4500 miles (from last reset) as a warning, stays solid at 5k. It's not an 'oil change' light, its just a 5k recorder. You'll notice in the owners manual there are things to do every 5k, whether it's time to change oil or not.

    I would normally agree, the Fram guards, extra guard tough guard all have paper backflow preventors (spin on) and many other issues. What can you tell me about this line that makes it bad?

    Absolutely not true. The Ultra/GX series is one if the finest filters you can buy.

    So why does the manual say other wise?

    That dipstick is so hard to read as well.

    When it comes to these cartridge filters there's only a couple i use, the toyota one it came with, or a wix. I heard some of the most expensive type fram filters are ok, but why bother if the oem ones are easily available.

    Currently none of my vehicles uses a cartridge filter. But I have had Toyotas in the past that did. Meijer carries M1 and Fram filters. Very easily available and way closer than the dealer for me

    On this, we can agree, but further when you consider that Pennzoil has been proven superior to M1 your left to ask what is enough protection. But then when you consider that the Pin is on average $6 to $9 dollars cheaper in the 5qt jug, you understand my elegance to the brand. Hard to beat better and cheaper too! Both are more than enough though and have my respect.
