25,000 Miles. How far the Amsoil Synthetic motor oil and Amsoil Ea oil filter went.

Is this your first run of SSO?

Where's the rest of the numbers?

TBN, SI, IRON, VISC, ETC....

Pretty LAME report, as mentioned where are the specifics and the recommendations ? Hope you did not pay too much for this product!

A comment like that is due to you not knowing;
1. About Amsoil lubricants, filtration and the Amsoil Oil Analyzers services.
2. Me and my experiences driving a Dodge Dakota 623,000 miles. Original engine. Original transmission.
3. My not mentioning my inability to cut and paste the rest of the oil analysis report.

I apologise for keeping you in the dark.

[Only Toyota for me]

I assume you changed the oil?

How long was it in service?

What was the TBN?

There's no doubt in my mind this is probably the best long OCI oil you can buy, as i run it in my 07 tundra.

I'd just like to see some more numbers.

The PPM numbers come out here as a run-together mess and, I'm not going to take the time to sort it out. Pasted what the PDF report allowed.

I have no doubt the Eao filter is the best on the market. I'd be worried about the 25k intervals though, last I saw they no longer recommend these Eao filters for our Tundras because with that long a drain interval, the filters can seriously reduce flow. Keep it to 5-10k, you'd probably be better off.

For now I'm using a larger size filter than stock.

What EAO are you using?

For your info; Amsoil just recomends you change their filter at normal intervals.

Myself, i wouldn't worry about it until you get an oil light on the dash. Or to be safe, you could just replace the EAO every 12500 miles.

But all the UOA i've seen on the 4.7 motor are excellent on any oil.

I went up a size. Don't remember the number but Amsoil now recommends the Mann Filter. Part: ML 1003.

Shatto, nice results from the EaO57 w/ SSO. You should forward them to Amsoil and tell them to reinvestigate their report on the EaO57 filter failures. Amsoil doesn't even carry that filter anymore. They've dropped the EaO57 and the EaO10 from their part lists. I've still got one more though! I've been using them for two years now in conjunction with Amsoil's ASL 5w-30 without any problems. Typically go 6-8mo OTI. I use the SSO 0w-30 with EaO10 filters in the RAV4. Guess I'll have to change that one though...

If you wanted to use a comparable Ea filter, but larger than the EaO57, you can try the EaO15.

For others who want to shop around, here are the filter specs for our Tundras:

Threads: 3/4-16
Thread Pitch: UNF-2B
O-Ring O.D.: 2.98 in
Anti-Drain Back Valve: Yes
Toyota recommended Relief Valve P.S.I.: 12-15

So the EAO15 is the oversized EAO57 then? For some reason i thought it was like a EAO42 or something.

I'd really like to use the EAO filter on my wifes 4runner ( which calls for the EAO57 ), but which one should i use?

If you used a by-pass set-up, you could use any size filter you wanted.

All of the Ea filters have the same stuff in their guts. But some are full flow and some are not. So don't buy one that's meant for a by-pass, as shatto said, when you need one for a full flow set up. Also, Amsoil won't recommend to you any size filter if you ask them what fits your vehicle. They're going to tell you to use what they recommend, which for Toyota is now the Mann filter line they offer. If you want to use an Ea oil filter for a Toyota, you have to do your homework and find which one will fit, then buy it from the drop-down menus on the Amsoil site (not the vehicle look-up guide).
