95 Camry Filter Question

[BISCUT]

Application is for the 4CYL 2.2 engine. Pur calls for a 14476 filter. Can I safely use Pur 14610 instead? I ask because I already use that filter for my Quad, 16KW generator, wifes Armada, and if it isn't too long soon my mothers (that sounds lame!) Maxima.

I have a decent size stash of these and would rather not have to buy a different filter.

thanks.

the purolators website shows the threading / diameter etc, you could probably compare there, unless some gearhead here already knows the answer off the top of their head

I didn't notice the thread info; I'll have to re-check. TX

14610 is metric, 14476 is sae. You might want a 14477 as it's a bit longer and otherwise the same.

14476
Type of Filter: Spin-on
Thread Pitch: UNF-2B
Relief Valve P.S.I.: 14-18
O.D.: 2.69
Threads: 3/4-16
Height: 2.93
Anti-Drain Back Valve: Yes


14477
Type of Filter: Spin-on
Thread Pitch: UNF-2B
Relief Valve P.S.I.: 14-18

Also, using search via google on purolator's website:

30001
Type of Filter: Spin-on
Anti-Drain Back Valve: Yes
O.D.: 3.78

Looks like it's fatter and taller with the same threads. Anyone know what relief valve psi means?

That's the filter's bypass valve setting in PSI.

What happens if one were to use one that is 8-16 psi in a car that takes filters at 14-18 psi?

I have been using 14477s on Gen 4 Camry I4's for years. It is the filter the Gen 4.5 came with on the I4. I don't know how accurate those relief pressures are going to be in practive over thosands of filters. I don't see much difference.

Does the 3001 gasket match up?

Nothing will happen IMO. The bypass valve setting is based more on the filter's overall design than the vehicle it is used on. That's why you will often see different by-pass settings on different brand filters for the same vehicle application.

Oh, I'm going to try a 30001 on my 93 camry then. Filter is easily accessible, stares at you when you pop the hood.
