Oil filters

Hey first post been watching site for a while now long time owner of the good ole Yotas,can't get away from em! Wondering if anyone on here knows if there are any extra capacity oil filters on the market for the 4.7 Thanks in advance

 

Welcome from CO. Not sure about the filter. Sorry...

 

Welcome from Northeast Connecticut

 

I use

$31 Toyota 90915-YZZD3 Oil Filter 1/2 Case (QTY 5)

Toyota 90915-YZZD3, it's a little longer than the ones at the parts store and cheaper. Local dealer has them for about $5 or you can get a 10 pack on Amazon for $46.

 

Mobile 1 also makes a larger filter that fits on the first gen

 

Buy Toyota filters and nothing else.

The Toyota filters are bigger than Mobil 1. I recently found this deal.

Toyota engineers are smarter than your average bear. Use what they say...don’t over think it.

 

I use FRAM Ultra Synthetic oil filters on my vehicles based on the results of this actual filtration test.

Note: Extended Guard is the old name for Ultra Synthetic. they're the same filters.

TL;DR,

 

Thanks for the feed back guys

 

That study on fram filters was done in 2011.

 

Oem on all my Toyota s. Local Maplewood dealer has always had a buy four get one free. Good luck. D

 

so?

 

Maplewood.. Hmmm. You in MN as well?

 

Toyota filter not tested?

 

Nuttin but Toyota OEM oil filters since 1993.

What else can I help with today?

 

no, because it's not a Toyota-specific test. as you can see from the link, the article was posted on gmtruckcentral.com. They do however test ACdelco, which is GM OEM, and Motorcraft, which is Ford OEM.

 

Anybody know the recommended oil capacity for a vvti 05

 

Double check your manual if you have it, but my 2002 V8 4.7L capacity is 6.5 quarts (5w-30).

The Toy filters I use are the YZZZD-3 which is spec’d in manual, as well.

 

I did the oil change with a NAPA oil filter (about an inch smaller) and only put in 5.25 qrts and I was over full {=( P.S. Im sorry for being dumb but should i try and drain the extra??

 

yikes, just because it's bigger doesn't mean it's better guys. Filters are application specific and things like the bypass valve can differ and wreak havoc to your engine, or worse yet, no oil to your engine. Just stick with the manual's recommendation.

 

IF 5.25 is not a typo, you are still a qt low. I do not recommend draining out anything just yet. I suggest you double check that everything is as it should be....level gnd, make sure oil has settled if recently ran, remove dipstick, wipe clean and recheck. Something is not right if what you say is indeed true.

 

I'm don't use any but OEM filters, but the smaller NAPA filter shouldn't have much effect on your dipstick reading.

Did you start the engine after the change?

Starting and idling the engine is the last step in an oil change to check for normal oil pressure and leaks at the filter and drain plug. When the engine is started, the empty oil filter and empty oil galleries must first be filled (maybe 1+ quart). Oil pressure at the dash gauge will be delayed a few seconds while the oil pump is filling the filter and oil galleries. This is normal and not a concern; the bearings will be lubricated by an oil film held in the bearings by surface tension. If canister filters are mounted near vertical, it's good practice to pre-fill the filter as much as possible before installation. This shortens the fill time, and no oil pressure time, dramatically. After the engine is shut off, the dipstick reading will be lower when you recheck.

 

Not sure whats going on with your situation. Bubba and Lakeman make valid points above. Maybe you didn’t drain all the contents or measure correctly?

Start up the engine and spin it around the block. Come home and park on a LEVEL surface and check the level with engine OFF for 5 minutes.

 

I bought a bunch of Champion COS3614 oil filters for .79 each when Rock Auto had them on close out. Better filter than you get at the quickie lube.

To each their own, but there is that saying you get what you pay for. I like to save money also but I would rather find a deal on Toyota filters before I trust my engine to a .79 cent oil filter.

 

Knowing what the inside of one looks like, I have to agree.

 

I think I remember reading about this .79 filter which was highly rated BTW IIRC.

It was a close out deal and they went fast.

Anyways I like the Toy filters (YZZZD-3) at $4-5, but if I decided to experiment I’d do the larger style Mobil Filter (which isn’t spec’d but fits regardless A-301?).
