Where to buy Mobil 1 filters?

Can't find any Mobil 1 oil filters around here. Where does everyone find them? Thanks. BTW- Already answered my own question on the 04 4runner fitting the 05 Tacoma. Thanks.

I'm not sure but I heard that the 05s take the same filters as the 04s. Not sure though.

Pep Boys usually has them or call around to your local neighborhood auto parts supply stores.

watch out auto zone will try to sell you a fram ph3614 for the 2005 4.0 v6. This filter is considerably shorter than stock. Not sure if it matters but it would mean less filter media.

I've tried every auto store, no Mobil 1. I'm going to go with the K&N. Any thoughts on the K&N?

Well, if the K&N filters filter anything like there airfilters I would stay away from it.

What about the air filters are bad? What would you recommend for an oil filter? Thanks.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Gadget will recommend Amsoil, but that's just a guess. Purolator PureOne is pretty good along with Napa Gold filters and you can't go wrong with Yota OEM filters.

According to the WIX website it lists the 51348 for the 2004 3.4 and 2005 4.0. I use a 51516 filter on my 2004 which is a little over an inch longer than stock. IF the 2005 does indeed take the same filter, any filter speced for a 2000 Ford Taurus 3.0V6 will work. Same thread pitch, bypass PSI, etc. Found this when my wife had a 2000 Taurus.

So the same filter for a 2000 Taurus will fit the Taco 3.4L, correct?
