December 31, 200520 yr comment_93040 Hi guys, Since there are lots of oil filters out there, what brand/type of oil filter do you use for your 5k engines? I use Valvoline V011's, does anyone use anything different? Are some better than others, or are they all pretty much the same thing? Report
December 31, 200520 yr comment_93044 I just use whatever my spare parts bloke has on the shelf. Its normally blue. I have used Ryco in the past. I'm not that fussed to be honest. Just had a quick look. I currently have and AC Delco filter. Edited January 1, 200620 yr by kangaroosa Report
December 31, 200520 yr comment_93056 I use Ryco, and will not use anything else. Cooper ones are shit, I have tried some others, and they were all crap. Ryco all the way :wink: Report
January 1, 200620 yr comment_93065 I will only use Genuine Toyota filters... Most of the other brands have seals that aren't of the greatest design and leak... See them every day at work... Report
January 1, 200620 yr comment_93075 Ryco Z9 on the Dwarf, and whatever Wayne put on the new one. Valvoline filters aren't the best quality, and tend to leak. Report
January 1, 200620 yr comment_93101 how much does a genuine oil filter cost? and on engines as old as most of ours how much of a difference would it really make? Report
January 1, 200620 yr comment_93105 sheeze I'm stickin with my ryco ones.....its a "genuine replacement" :wink: Report
January 1, 200620 yr comment_93123 I have used Ryco on all my cars since getting my license 10 years ago, and on my KE35 for the last 9 years, and never ever ever once had an issue EVER. Can't argue with odds like that :wink: Report
January 1, 200620 yr Author comment_93142 looks like ryco is da way 2go, but i must admit my valvilines have never given any trouble,.... yet... Report
January 1, 200620 yr comment_93171 and theyre only meant to be used for 5000 k's so i really don't think any are gonna give hassles in that space of time, i run mine for 50,000 and don't get any dramas :wink: Report
January 1, 200620 yr comment_93183 Put it this way. Toyota invested X amount of bazillions of hours and $$ to make up any motor. Then, all the parts that go along with it have been under so many tests, to make sure they live up to the genuine product. Or, you can put it this way. Get a new 4x4 hilux, thats been under the same conditions, then go down to frkin TJM, and put a TJM suspension kit in it, and expect the suspension upgrade in them, to be Better than genuine ones.. Ill Stay genuine, Jap parts on Jap motor. Not China parts on Jap motor. :wink: Report
