Buying oil filter

Postby tomo1985 » Sat Feb 18, 2006 3:42 pm

What is the product no. for a oil filter for a back top 4age. I went into repco and they couldnt find the right one. I wanna do a oil change and change the filter.

Yeah dude, fram filters are good, I work at super cheap and used them on my old AE101 levin (silvertop 4AGE). And I'm now using fram filters on my Celica GT Four. They're even cheaper with my staff (25%) discount :o

Its ridiculous that your even considering using a non-genuine filter...!!! The only other label you should even consider thinking about is a High-performance brand like HKS etc... Those $2 budget filters are for granny's and people who drive Hondas... :twisted:

Got any flow/clog etc charts to back that up? some brands like fram imo are very good- ive used them for years without issue. Last test I saw didnt score some the genuine ones very well. It was a pretty old test and revhead said toyota had made changes from that time, but I still have not seen an up to date test to dispell opinions either way.
Cant believe im still a member here.
