I been using a Toyota Oil Filter: 90915-20004 from Carlson Toyota. I bought tons of them.. until I realized last week, i ran out fo stock... I try to purchased from my local dealer and non of them has 90915-20004. Its been replace by some other part number which I am not comfort of buying.

Can anyone offer any insight and what oil filter they are using?

 

I have been using Fram and Pulolator filters beside OEM filters.

 

Shinchan, I use the same filter for my 90 LS (90915-20004). I don't know anything about it being replaced...in fact, I was just at the dealership 1 week ago and bought one. I recommend doing a quick search for 'filter' on CL and you'll find that people overwhelmingly recommend staying with this filter.

Mobil 1 oil filters, top quality and available just about anywhere.

K&N oil filters have done really fine by me, much better than my old Toyota OEMs.

 

K&N is a great filter. You can't go wrong by useing this filter.

 

I am going to try the K&N filter next. I really like the connector for a socket wrench, helps in R&R. It can be hard to angle an oil filter wrench on the filter of the 1MZFE engine, not to mention kinda heated in there too, given its location.

The discussion of oil filters came up in a variety of other Toyota forums I've frequented. A popular after-market has been Purolator and no one has denied a factory Toyota filter. There has been much discussion/rumors about flow characteristics of Fram and it has me doubtful. A mechanic on another Toyota forum had relayed drops in oil pressure of 2-4 PSI at idle and higher as RPM increased. Not wanting to chance it with the LS, I'm going to stick with factory filters.

I dunno what members here have been using on their 200K+ mile Lexi...?

 

i use Fram PH3614 on my motor

 

you actually notice a difference? i just use any oil filter like pureone.

 

You may never notice a difference until you are forced to rebuild your engine 100K miles sooner than another person who used a quality oil filter throughout the life of the vehicle. The Mobil 1 oil filter is one of the best you can buy, and will run you around 10 bucks. The cheap filters will run you 2 or 3 bucks. Is it really worth saving yourself 8 bucks every 4 months? For me, 8 bucks buys a lot of piece of mind.

 

i change my oil every 2000 miles though and it comes out brown.. very clean... not even black..

 

Switch to synthetic oil, and use a good quality filter, and you will be able to go at least twice the amount of miles between changes. Your engine will thank you, and you'll spend more time driving, and less time under your vehicle doing oil changes every 2K miles.

 

blacksc i do use synthetic, i just change it every 2000 miles to be on the safe side. I use the pure one and people said it was pretty good tnogh

 

This is good stuff... what is the part number on the Mobil-1 oil filter so I can pick one up next time I change her oil?
