New Oil filter Type??
I just wanted to know what oil filter you guyz use on your sc400. And I know this has been discussed many times and I have used the search button w/ no definite answer. I was looking for 90915-20004 and found out that this filter has been discontinued. I've called lexus for the part # for their sc400 v8 oil filter and they told me 90915-YZZD1....isn't this oil filter for the v6?? So, I went to toyota and bought this same part and part # for half the price. Toyota told me that they used this filter on all their V8's. Did this part replace the 20004?? I notice it is much smaller than the old 20004. Did I make a bad decision?? Any help would be apreciated.

You're right about the YZZD1 being made for the 6 cylinders.
The new 8 cylinder filter is YZZD3.
I don't know why they'd recommend the smaller filter for you.

From here: http://www.intellexual.net/faq.html
The 90915-20004 has been discontinued since mid-December 2003 and replaced with the Thailand-made 90915-YZZD3. All Toyota and Lexus V8s will be assigned this new filter. It has a slightly thinner filter element. The alternative to this is the TRD filter part# 00602-90915-007. The TRD filter is the essentially the same as the old 20004 and is priced the same also ($7.58).

I just buy the YZZD3 for $3.80 @ Toyota dealer.
If it's good enough for Toyota, it's good enough for me.
Still better than FRAM.
