    I’m switching to 5w30 synthetic on my ‘06 DC. Was looking at rock auto to order a filter. Looks like there are filter specific to synthetic oils.
    Should I order one of those or doesn’t it matter?

    thx

    Doesn’t matter. Any good filter will work fine with conventional or synthetic. Any garbage filter will be equally as poor at filtering conventional as synthetic. :)

    Yup, filters are not synthetic specific.

    You can get an OEM oil filter from Walmart or the dealer, the dealer will be slightly cheaper but only by $1 each. I usually just buy a case from the dealer

    Toyota OEM filter is da best. Buy it in bulk and keep on saving a buck or 2. or but it from Walmart almost the same cost.
