toyota oil filters
I see that Mobil 1 and K&N oil filters have stated that they filter
particles down to 10 microns in size. Does anyone have any info on
the efficiency of the standard Toyota oil filters? Thanks.

I thought KN went to 20 but mobil 1 is a great filter, as is KN

About Amsoil oil filter filtering particles down to 6, yes, 6 microns.

Re: toyota oil filters
Do not be taken by a rating like that. If its efficiency is only 10%
at 10 microns, does that do you much good? At what micron size is the
filter 98-99% efficient. I heard one engineer say that chicken wire
will catch particles 10 microns in size, just not very well.
I have a couple of toyota filters and the resemble the Puralator Pure
One filter. Not saying they are the same, but when you put the two
side by side and look inside thru the hole, they look like a similiar
design.

Remember, as the filtration efficiency increases, so too, can the restriction.

Re: toyota oil filters
Is that the Amsoil full flow filter or their by-pass filter? Can you
direct me to a URL where that information is posted? Thanks.

Re: toyota oil filters
Just change your oil every 3,000 miles using regular oil and a decent oil
filter and thats should be good enough. Yes a better filter would promote a
cleaner engine, but the main thing is to change the oil. Remember, there is
no harm to the car in changing the oil too frequently.

Re: toyota oil filters
While the car is under extended warranty (till 85,000 miles) I'm
having the dealer service it, Toyota oil and filter every 5,000 (what
Toyota classifies as "sevre service"). After that I'll go to Mobil 1
oil & filter, same change cycle. I've done this will three Camry's
and it works great, my '93 has 153,000 and doesn't use a drop of oil.
I do all the service except for timing belt changnes myself.
