Larger substitute for Toyota 2az-fe (Fram 4386)?

[Elkins45]

I’m doing some aggressive chemical stuff to hopefully ungunk my 2az-fe engine. The specified OEM equivalent Fram filter is the 4386. Is there a larger substitute with more filter media? Longer would be better but there might be room for something fatter. I want as much surface area as possible to catch any stuff that might be dislodged by my solvent treatment.

if you've got the extra width in the filter area and enough gasket surface which i believe you do but double check a ph3600 can do. Now if you have gobs of length, width, and gasket surface a ph8a would screw on but it'd be as big as the engine lol. But i don't think a filter that big would fit unless you tried it. I mean you can buy it and cleanly try it and if it doesn't just return it. But I think a ph3600 will do just fine and i think it will fit. Others say they've had it fit on theirs.

I run the 3600 on the xB in my sig, but it has the smaller 1NZ-FE 1.5 engine. Just have to watch for road debris damage. The PH8A would never make it, way too big.

Yeah man I was thinking the same thing like the pH 3600 too would work.

I used equivalent to 3600 size.

If you want something not as long as PH3600, but longer then the PH3614, you can run a PH8316.

I once used a cheap purolator made 3600 (20195) that was 1/2-3/4 inches shorter than the "real" 3600. Their jobber line and Pep Boys store brand were this smaller can.

I liked it on my saturn s-series because it was enough to stick out from its hidey hole and was easier to grab to change, but not so long it rubbed on a fender liner.

Looks like a 3600 will do nicely. Thanks all!

Motorcraft FL400s. Not as big as the Fram 3600/Wix 51516 size but not as small as the 4386/4967/51394 or Toyota F1/F2 filters. The Toyota D3 1GR/UZ filter as well.

I snagged 3 TG 8316 at Rural King other day. Work well for my 09’ 2AZ-FE

 

[GSCJR]

WM was clearing PH8316 out AGAIN 2 years ago, so I grabbed 3 more.

The XG series has more capacity than an EG or TG. Some of these brands have very large center tubes, and the media is not so deep. Some waste height in the can. The can size is not the whole story.
