WOW! Fram vs Toyota oil filters
been running a fram engine oil filter with castrol 5w-30. Oil Px has been really non existant when hot, in drive, when at a stop sign. But when driving at 2000 rpm at 60 mph, its at 1/2, maybe a hair more.
So I had a new toyota oil filter in the garage and with 500 miles on the oil, I spun the fram off, and put on the toyota filter. HOLY COW! My idle oil Px indication is now at 1/4.
The fram was $3.50 and the Toyota was $5.75

KRTB will love you for this.
Yeh, I'd stay away from fram. Sometimes you do get what you pay for.

let me see if I can reply for him
:
KathyRicks: " Toyota has specs that all supplies for OEM toyota parts must meet. They have been engineered so that all Toyota vehicles are good for 500,000 miles plus using nothing but Toyota OEM parts and fluids. If you ever use anything other than Toyota OEM parts or fluids you are just wasting your money and your vehicle will likely struggle to make it to 100k"

On a serious note, I use an Amsoil eao filter and the oil pressure seems to never drop bellow 1/4 at idle.

Re: WOW! Fram vs Toyota oil filters
There are OE oil filters.
There are premium Oil filters.
Then there is crap.
Fram and
Purolator being the
best CRAP out there.
Using this crap, yu are being
penny wise ,
pound foolish .
Also, feel secure in knowing that if yu use an OE filter that the dealers will be your friend.
And that is fine.
However for those
"in the know", a premium filter is way superior to these
rebranded ,
not truly made by Toyota OE Toyota filters. And guess who makes them?
BTW $31.90 is the best discount price for a case of OE spin-ons.(D1's)
But I like my premium filters the best. Even though I have a few cases of OE's lying around. I see the difference. It is apparant to me.
I will use the OE's...but I use Two(2) per OCI. The Oe's are built somewhat ok...but they use horrible filter media.
Anti OE bot

Nah, $31.90 is more like dealer cost for a case of 10 90915-YZZG1 filters.$39.90 is the best available price a dealer can offer to a consumer. The MSRP price is about $55.00. The 90915-YZZG1's in combination with Toyota air filters have kept my Toyota engine running like new for over 471,000 miles so I consider them "premium" quality.

Re: WOW! Fram vs Toyota oil filters
That's funny, because the G1's haven't been around long enough for that statement to be true.
And even though I get my OE's at cost, I will never say they are the best.

The G1's are not new, only the part# is new. The old part# was 08922-02011 and they've been around since the early 1990's.

We already went back and forth on this. I say the media IS different.
Yes they
appear Identical.
Probably a moot point anyway.
Right??????????
In fact I will open up each to compare. I have both, new, in the box.
Does anyone have a Heavy duty can opener I can borrow.
The last time I did this my wife was mad that I broke the one from the kitchen.

Not to worry, Hollywood is starting to de-vilify polygamy. At some point in the future it will all be good.

Re: WOW! Fram vs Toyota oil filters
KR,
I will even throw in an
extra case of
vintage 08922-02011's.
Three cases in all...That's a total of 108K miles worth of OCI's.(at 3K intervals)
With the way yu drive that will cover yu for two years.
Deal?
