I'm not "angry". I'm disgusted. I paid good money for a case of OEM Toyota filters. And I have no doubt they are, seeing as they passed through Toyota twice before they came to me.
In spite of that they're cheap crap. There is no other description for it. Once again, an oil filter should not deform, and or collapse from the normal torque and force that is required to remove it.
I've had plenty of oil filters that were far tighter and tougher to remove than this POS, and none of them deformed by simply putting a strap wrench on them. None. Ever.
If you read my above post, I said the Toyota filters seal hand tight with an O-Ring that stops when the filter base contacts metal. You don't torque beyond that. In spite of that it was tight enough to collapse the can before it broke loose. That is not proper filter performance, period. I don't much care what you think it, "sounds like". That's exactly what happened. And it happened because the filter can is too thin, and it's cheaply made.
I've had this vehicle for 4 years since I bought it new. And I change oil every 6 months. And up until this I used nothing but Fram 4967 series oil filters, and never had a bit of trouble.
I purchased of case of these OEM Toyota filters, (bad move on my part), because I thought I was getting a quality product. I obviously did not. So live and learn. Luckily, I had an extra Fram laying around, so I didn't have to put another POS Toyota / Denso, or whatever tin can on. Now I can relax knowing I won't have a messy fight on my hands next October, when I change it again.
