Hi all,
I have read before that the made in Thailand Denso Filters where not as 'quality' as the Japan versions, however recent posts on various forums indicate that the Japan vs. Thailand Denso filters are now equal in quality.
fwiw, the Japan filters are normally what arrives in vehicles stock from JDM vehicles, and Thailand Denso filters are obtained from local U.S. dealers.
I have a recently acquired Toyota Highlander Hybrid which uses the V6 3.3 Liter 3MZ-FE engine that is also on the Camry & Sienna.
Reading on bitog forums, a recent post however indicates there is still a discrepency between Japan vs. Thailand Denso oil filters.
My question is, does indeed a quality issue remain to exist between the two filters? Or was that user misinformed?
If so or not, I have also read here of the Wix Filters as having a good reputation. Is this a suitable replacement for the Toyota Thailand Denso Filters?
Thanks!
Edgardo
