    Getting ready for first oil change. I'm going to use Mobil 1 and will use a Mobil 1 filter. I can't find info on which one to get, but I'm sure someone here knows. Thanks in advance.

    according to mobiloil.com

    Mobil 1
    Mobil 1 Model M1-103
    Other options
    Fram Model PH4967 (I do not reccomend this, if getting Fram go with their ToughGaurd series, TG4967)
    Purolator Model L14476
    Purolator Model PL14476

    Thanks...that's the same one my 98 Camry uses (also a great car). I'm not doubting you, but I'm curious. I was all over that site and couldn't find the info. How did I miss it?

    You have to search for the type of oil you should use. Then at the bottom of the results page there is a link to filters.

    You could try the M1-209 filter. Same internal specs but almost twice the filtering surface. Been using it for oil changes for almost 20K.
