    I'm DONE with "premium" oil filters

    VW Bugs had an oil strainer and those things would get filthy. I had a 1974 Super Beetle and I was always amazed how filthy that thing would get for my then 3k OCI. That was my first engine that I ran HDEO in.

    Interesting oil filter cut & post video

    Saw this interesting video on a VIC oil filter. The guy is asserting that the bend on the base plate might’ve been caused by the leaf spring design. There are no obvious dents on the can, so if it’s not the leaf spring causing the bend then it must’ve happened during the manufacturing process

    Old wix 51516

    I still have a bunch of these bigger filters left from my LX450. Wonder if I could run them in my 2004 GX470? https://www.flickr.com/photos/9592432@N02/albums/72157651360702355

    2007 Camry Hybrid 12v Battery Recommendation

    Hi, was wondering what is a suitable replacement for the 12v AGM Panasonic auxiliary battery in this car. Does it have to be a valve regulated AGM battery as the OEM Panasonic one is?

    2004 GX470 195k switch to synthetic?

    Hi, I picked up a really clean GX470, and I'm using it as daily driver to work 3-4 times a week. Average about 1500 miles a month, probably 75%+ highway. Have all service records from previous owner. He did 5k changes with conventional...mostly at the dealer, but there are a couple of Midas...

    Delo 5W40 vs T6 Rotella 5W40 for Jeep 4 Liter

    if it counts for anything, i have used both RT6 and Delo 5W-40 in my LX450, and the inline-6 seems to like the Delo S more. Both oils are stout, but my oil usage goes down a about half quart every 1000 miles with the Delo S also.

    when was the last the time the air filter was replaced? do you have OEM air filter, or some K&N after market variety?

    Greatest filter of all time (sarcasm)?

    the old 90915-20004 made in Japan Toyota Filters... those were the depth media, fiberglass resin filters that became really hard to get in mid-2000's and eventually stopped being made... although I think maybe Denso does make something like it called a TRD sport oil filter (made in Japan...
