Black Tokio Roki OEM filter, and a quality 0-20 for the vast majority of owners. If you've already bought the Royal Purple, I suggest returning it. You're paying RP extra money for a purple bottle, and to exchange some of it's content that should be used to lubricate, clean, and protect your engine for your engine's lifeblood to have non-beneficial coloring in it.

The OEM oil is very high quality and is available on Amazon and from your dealer. Napas usually stock Pensotin, Eneos, Idemitsu, Pennzoil and Liquimoly, which are all fantastic choices. Many also stock Amsoil products which are some of the best.

I use Idemitsu in my car, but get free delivery on Motul products so most of my customers opt for Motul fluids throughout the vehicle. (It's a great choice...)

I don't think their oil is the worst, but I can absolutely never recommend it.
Their gear oil is horrendous too. I've removed it 20 or so times from troublesome grinding transmissions, and replaced with a castrol or motul product and watched the issues melt away after 20-30 miles of shifting. Usually the owner is buying what they think is best and trying to just maintain their car, but it ends up biting them in the butt.
