Which brand of oil filter do you use for your Toyota truck?

For about a 140K miles I've been using Fram filters on my Tacoma. An Auto Zone near me sells me the filters by the case and lets me mix and match them so I get a better price, when your buying for 7 or 8 cars you need to get as much of a deal as you can.
k&n all the way works great with royal purple oil
You buy those online or you get them from the dealer?
For case deals on OEM oil filters try trdpartsforu good people and great service, they offer specials on case lots all the time.
If it isnt on special tell them you heard about the special on the web and they'll usually give you the special price, they hate to lose a sale over a few dollars.

I have always used Fram. I have not had a problems over the years.
Did you vehicle have "high miles" on it though? I notice a difference with mine when I use high-mileage oil filters. I usually buy whatever high mileage filters are on sale too.
Now that I think about it, I usually just go with whatever is the cheapest aftermarket option.

Wix 51516 I think??? It's about twice the length of the standard filter. I figure it has more filter media surface area. By looking at toytasrule's sig pic. I'd have to say bigger is better. 
Like others in this thread, I've always used Fram on all my vehicles. I've never encountered any related issues because of it, and they're fairly cheap at Auto Zone. I just pick up a filter and oil and change my oil in the driveway.
I used to use the cheap Fram, but after cutting open several different brands of filters, I've changed my mind. Wix is good, K&N, and Mobil 1 are very good. If you go for extended miles between changes using synthetic oil like I do, I recommend K&N or Mobil 1. If you change every 3k or less, I suppose the cheap Fram is ok, although I don't use them anymore. These days Fram makes various quality levels of filters, and I have not looked into their higher priced line, which I suppose would be better. You often get what you pay for. By the way, being an old timer, I remember back in the day when Fram was a quality filter. Then they got bought out and Walmart was selling them for $2.50....

I run a System 1 oil filter which is the type you take apart and clean. If I was going to use a cartridge type filter I would use a K&N Oil Filter. Many of the guys that I go street rodding with run K&N on their rods and use synthetic oil. If I would be using regular oil, I would change the filter and oil every 3,000 miles. From what I hear, the high mileage filters are not any better and their internal by-pass valves open (by-pass) alot quicker.
