Well the subject title says it all. But can it be true?
Is Amsoil saying not to use their EaO filter on the Camry?
When I clicked on the Amsoil Products Guide and entered 2006 Camry in the left pane (2.4L, 4-cyl), the long results page stated the following for oil filter recommendations:
===========================================================
Oil Filter: EAO10 - Absolute Efficiency Oil Filter [1]
Oil Filter: 51396 - WIX 51396 Oil Filter [1]
Air Filter: 46673 - WIX 46673 Air Filter
Trans Filter: 58010
Cabin Filter: 24883 - WIX 24883 Cabin Air Filter
1. AMSOIL advises Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) filter change recommendations
=============================================================
Notice that a [1] appears right after the "Absolute Efficiency Oil Filter", and the [1] refers to a note that is numbered "1."
The note states:
AMSOIL advises Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) filter change recommendations
So is Amsoil saying don't use the EaO filter; use Toyota's OEM filter instead?
I've always used the OEM Toyota/Denso spin-on filter, but was considering using Amsoil's EaO filter or Mobil 1's $11 filter for longer OCIs of 7,000 miles.
Also, is the "WIX 51396 Oil Filter" mentioned above the same thing as Mobil 1's $11 filter?
