New wix xp

[Fair enough]

I guess the Boss is what I will start to buy, but by then everything will change again. Mann is a good company with a long history. I trust their reputation on the media manufacturing. I like the polyester versus glass. Never knew that before. The Boss doesn’t use the black glue for end caps. I’ll just spend the extra $5 once a year or get lucky on a sale. It says USA with no exceptions, like made from global materials. I hope it doesn’t say that.

I bet that with most vehicles, including Toyotas, that less than 1/3rd of their owners go to the dealer and use OEM filters. My guess is that 2/3rds or more either use a fast lube place or DIY (I’m sure DIY isn’t a huge percentage these days though)

Denso. The few I have used were junk. They drain over night and I put one on a car at work and the can leaked at the crimp.

When you say they drain over night - you mean the ADBV doesn't hold?

I have been using the Dealer version them since our Toyota was new and have noticed no issue but that engine is ridiculously noisy at start so its possible. I do believe there a jobber filter at best. Never more than 5K OCI.

I ran the regular "Denso" one once on my truck - it appeared to be well constructed and never had a dry start - on the truck I would notice. But again just a basic filter.

Yes and that what makes the chain beat around when started. Use another filter and it goes away.

This filter shell game is nutty frustrating. Finally found the MP supertech a couple years ago - now that option is gone. Found the pricey Wix XP worked well in the Subaru (Fram Ultra did NOT) - now that's gone - along with the much appreciated base-end located bypass valving.

If there is a filter I really like, I buy half a dozen. It’s so frustrating thinking that next year your favorite filter will be inferior.
