FZ6 Dude Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Hi, I was doing some research on ordering the Mobil 1 (M1-102) filter for my Lexus as it seems $16 is a lot of $ at the local store. I came across a Tacoma site and people were recommending the larger M1-209 filter instead of the M1-102, for its additional filtering properties. I imagine that it is only a longer unit, which should have no problem fitting in a RX 330. Has anyone used this filter? Would the slightly larger size require any additional oil to be added when changing the oil? Also, has anyone had any luck ordering these filters online and saving money vs. purchasing them at Advance? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenmore Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I'm interested. Are you certain that it will fit an RX330? The Mobil 1 site specifies the M102 filter for 2004 and 2005 RX330s. It is the filter specified for first gen LS400s also. Go to this site and complete the link "What's the right oil for my car?" and at the end there is a further link for which oil filter to use. https://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/MotorO...il_Filters.aspx Thanks, glenmore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you certain that it will fit an RX330? I use the M1-102 on our '04 RX330 and have for years .... but, I get them for $9.99 a piece on sale or as part of the oil package deal at Autozone. There are plenty of good options (Bosch Premium, Wix, Napa Gold, OEM). I am going to try the new Fram 10,000 mile filter next oil change. I change the oil filter every other oil change, so the new Fram will be ideal. I will end up getting an oil analysis when I am done ... so far, the Mobil 1 filter has shown excellent results.

diverchris Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I have used the Mobile 1 and the K&N oil filter. They are both great since I use Synthetic oil in the engine. The filters will last longer due to the longer interval of oil needed to be changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobk528 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I usually purchase five quarts of synthetic oil when AutoZone has a special ad and it includes a free Mobil, Bosch or K&N oil filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexus114 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I usually purchase five quarts of synthetic oil when AutoZone has a special ad and it includes a free Mobil, Bosch or K&N oil filter. The Mobil-1 filter probably has good filter media,But they have weak anti drain back valves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
