    What do you think about oil filter flow vs filtering. I think I would rather have better flow. But there should be a happy medium. This video shows that Toyota OEM filter give great flow but not great filtering.

    The filter is only filtering a small amount of oil at any time. The majority is not going thru filter at all and going straight to the lubrication system.

    I really don't care what filter is used. I'm more of a fan of changing the oil sooner than recommended.

    Well oil flow is up to the pump and filtering is up to the filter. Tough to make sense of all those numbers - like 52 pickup.

    This engine uses a full flow oil filter.

    Not sure this is true in any vehicle? Oil is pumped from the pan through the filter, then to the oiling system.

    factory filter work well enough to have quite a few million mile tundras. OEM filter is up to the task.

    Remote bypass filtration can be used to achieve better filtering of small impurities.
