just got my 99 4runner 3.4 what toyota oil filter is the best? i know im using the bigger 90915-yzzd3 on my 05 tacoma also fit my 05 highlander will it also fit the 3.4 ?

 

ive heard good things about napa gold

 

it should. just promise me one thing.... DO NOT USE A FRAM OIL FILTER.

 

napa gold 1516 works great and its bigger

 

how much do those run???

 

less than $6 dollars

 

lol elton i love how your a toyota-holic, all of your family has toyotas ahahahha

 

well im all toy here to you can get the toy filter from dallas toyota for 10 of them it's 39.90 no shipping been running them on my tacoma with mobil 1

 

hehe
FRAM = "orange can of death"

hehe

 

Hey,
I have a 99' SR5 with 145K miles and I run an Oversized Mobil 1 Filter
M1-209. w/ mobil 1 synthetic oil. I change the filter at 5K to 7K intervals
BTW: SSHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Don't tell ANYONE!......AND if you do tell someone about the "M1-209" .....trust me, I'll know
over and out

 

I use fram oil filter for 5 years now..Zero problem. i use it on my old honda CRX for 4 years. and 1 year on my 4runner. i do oil change and oil filter every 3000kms(around 2000miles). i know it is overkill but i take care of it! thats from my own experience with fram. if you dont like fram, just dont use it.

 

what makes fram so bad? been thinking of trying a napa gold 3.0 ford filter.

 

my dad lost a engine due to fram. brand new engine.. or near enuf... 25,000 miles... and was using royal purple synthetic oil.

 

not trying to say he didnt, but how do you know it was from a fram?

 

care to elaborate?

 

Nothing but factory here Seen napa, fram,all after market filters fail factory with antidrain back valve in them first start up engine running dry for that split second no thanks, I'll pay more for factory filters thats what they were designed for

 

cuz it was runnin like a clock, no problems oncesoever. and it was a 02 4runner. he was just doing a routine oil change. why he suddenly decided to use a fram, i dont know. all i know is i do not trust fram period, and from the one time i put a fram on mine, cuz i was going cheap, (penzoil 10w-30 high mileage formula and fram filter) the engine started knocking really hard and stuff. checked the oil, and it was low. (mind you this was 5 hours after i did the oil change). i had my mechanic in san diego pull the valve cover, and all the valves were fine, but he said there was no oil. so i figure what the hell... took the fram off, took it back, and got a castie, or however you spell it, and it stopped. never again will i run a fram. oh, and the oilpan was full

 

Nappa Gold, only way to go.

 

Amsoil EAO34 oversized and Series 2000 oil.

 

Ive heard good things about them.
