I was using the oversized Amsoil filter but just recently swung by my local Toyota dealer and picked up some Toyota filters for our engine. Think I paid about $12 for 2 of them and I'm sure they're worth every bit of that. From what I've read Toyota filters are top notch:top:

John as a note Toyota don't make any of their parts as to who makes it I don't know, but I can find out for you. TRD vs the stock filter yes it's better flow and filtering of oil. I have a magnetic oil drain bolt and never see any metal dust on it.

I heard from many people Fram sucks...but everyone has their cup of tea...I would go OEM or K&N cuz that is what I use on my motorcycle too. OEM filters cost the same or a tad bit more than Fram so you should buy OEM anyway.

Question: Jamie the guys asked me who makes the trd oil filter do you know?
Thanks Jim


Reply: Jamie Not 100% sure but it looks exactly like the K&N filters. Even with the 1" head on the top.



Question:Your a lot of help Jamie you should know who makes TRD parts! I bet Ken most likely knows this. As a note I know TRD don't make anything they sell and it does look like a K&N to me. Jim



Reply: Jamie You goof, you know trd doesn't tell us. But yes, k&n lol.

So here's your answer John it's a K&N filter

I think TRD USA uses K&N. I wonder what JDM TRD uses?


Jamie said TRD/USA uses K&N Cuz and as for TRD Japan it's the samething a vendor makes the parts.:top:

Now even if K&N makes the TRD filter they are not the same, one K&N mades to TRD specifications.

oil filters

I use the cheapest oil filters and change them like underwear, I think they all do the same but oem is costly you can usually by four generic oil filters for the price of a manufacture filter

I just bought 2 OEM filters and it cost me under $13 bucks so that's under $6 each. Where are u getting filters for $1.25 and who makes them? I'd be worried about those coming apart and fudging the engine up.

I buy a case of filters at at a time from the Toyota dealer to get the best price. Run mobil 1 0w-30 for more pony's and better fuel mileage/economy. I have spent many days at the track in the upper rpm band and pulling some good gees in the corners,no problems yet!
