its a ryco

 

That's what I'm using, a Z68.

 

Toyota in Orange don't stock the filter for a 4k engine

 

...and that's a bit of a worry!

I've used the ryco z9 before. The one I had must have had a faulty drainback valve... would take about 5 secs for the oil light to go out on start up, so didn't last long on the car.

 

Another bad filter I've used is the Valvolive Z68 equivalent, bad oil drainback.

 

I like the Z386's, instant oil pressure.

I will never fit a Ryco to my own vehicle. I have never seen any published information on their filtration capabilities.

The best filters I know of are Amsoil "Ea" filters (synthetic media - not paper). :jamie:

Hmmm... Toyota in Orange want $25 (retail) for a KE70 filter. The Altezza 3S-GE one is only $17!

 

Maybe time to bring a few in from NZ at $14... Just have to convince someone to fill up their hand luggage!

 

Kozmo, where do you buy your Amsoil ones, and what are they worth?

Whats the P/N for a KE70 filter? I'll price one up at work. (Toyota Dealership)

I never asked them-

 

Can you look up an '83 Ke70 with a 4K? There should only be one filter for all the 4Ks. Might be interesting...

I'm running a repco filter on my 4k and it takes 5 secs to get oil pressure, 3 seconds when warn????

 

what brand is the z386? fit 4k?

z386 is a generic part number.

 

my orders of preference for aftermarket parts are: 1 - nippon max (made by wesfil) 2 - ryco 3 - coopers

 

but sometimes the quality and construction may vary, depending upon what part it is. I do see a lot of filters (oil fuel air and cabin) over the course of a day.

The Z386 is the Ryco version of the toyota 4AF/G and 3SF/G 5SFE oil filter. Spins straight on to a K series motor.

I swear my local toyota dealership had a 4K one for less than 10 bucks.

 

Sump gasket was 40 bucks though.

Ryco specify the Z68 for K-motors, and that has a different seal diameter to the Z386 so it mightn't be the best idea to mix and match

I'll check on Monday when I'm back at work. Or

maybe even tonight if I get there.

Well, I checked with spare parts. There's two different oil filters they recommend for 4k's. First was a monster of a thing. Second was one we use every day, for say 1MZ's and other engines, known to us as a D2.

 

P/N: 90915-YZZD2

My Price: $12.50 - Retail: About $24.00

Cross-References to Ryco Z418. About $8-15 retail.

now that is interesting. the 418 goes in a lot of upside down applications, eg a 1gr-fe and a 1kd-ftv in the latest hiluxes, and they don't seem to have oil pressure issues. It is probably a much better filter than the 68.

 

and I know that it fits on a corolla too, I've seen one fitted mistakenly to a camry with a 2az-fe, which is normally a 432, and I've also seen a 386 fitted mistakenly to a 1az-fe in a rav4. conclusion to come to:

 

68, 418, 432, 386, 9, and probably a stack of others all will fit a k motor.

 

Next oil change I'm fitting 418's and I will see how they go!!
