Friends: 0 |  Better Oil Filter? So today I picked up the toyota oil filter from dealer and realized that it is made of paper. Does anyone know of fleece type filter that used in MB and others for extended drain interval? I'm planning to run Mobile 1 for ~10k or Amsoil for ~20k interval and really don't want to use paper filter for more than 5k. Anyone know of better filters? Or it's still too early for aftermarket? Thanks. |

I haven't compared it, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Toyota Filter is a rebranded Purolator L16311 There is a Wix filter, I don't have the part number handy I'd run two during the course of an Amsoil 20K OCI | |

Friends: 0 | Re: Better Oil Filter? Thanks. I didn't know Wix already has the filter out. I just looked it up on Wix site and part # is 57064. I've used Wix for all my hondas and my family member cars for 8-10k with Mobile 1. I'll have to check out Wix after 2 oil changes since I'm doing one at 1k and 6k (free at dealer) oil change. Thanks.

Friends: 1 | Re: Better Oil Filter? Well, I just bought a box of OEM Toy filters but the first filter I got from 'Auto Zone' was STP brand. Looks about the same to me. I wouldn't be surprised if several different brands were made at the same place and just 'branded'. It seems paper is the only thing out there at the moment; not sure it will ever be otherwise. |
