    Hello everyone I just got the 2nd oil change with valvoline restore and protect on our gen 2 and its helped reduce consumption. Only 1 quart in about 5k miles with 190K miles so its a lot better than 2.5 quarts burnt like before, also lots of hwy miles now.

    Current filter installed is a 90915-YZZD1 is that fine to use on it? The toyota website is telling me 90915-YZZN1 please let me know!

    How did you arrive at fitting the 90915-YZZD1?

    The D1 filter has about twice the capacity of the N1 filter. I believe the D1 is used on the 2.7L and V6 Toyota engines. The diameter of the D1 filter is also larger. The sealing o-ring of the D1 is the same as the outside diameter of the N1 oil filter - not sure if it's going to seal if your car calls for a N1 oil filter.
    There's also the question of at what pressure does the oil filter bypass valve open, if the filter gets plugged. Do they all pop open at the same oil pressure? Is the small displacement engine oil pump capable of generating enough oil pressure to open the bypass valve? While having a larger capacity oil filter is nicer to have, those basic questions above needs to be addressed.
