Oil Filter exchange

[Escortdriver]

I work driving an escort vehicle which is a 1996 Toyota Corolla. I drive a lot of miles and I noticed at the store the other day while looking in the book for filters that there are two oil filters that were used primarily on Toyotas that year. So I picked both of them up and compared. The oil filter for the V6 Camry is larger than the one for 1.8 Corolla but looks like the center hole is the same size and I think the rubber gasket will work. Is it OK to use the larger filter on the engine to improve the life of the filter and increase oil flow???? Will the bypass valve be effected causing an engine failure???? I use Mobil One Synthetic Oil 10w 30.

Thanks,
Escortdriver

take both numbers and check them on the wix site.

Yes, many filter parts books in the autoparts stores have a section in the back of the book with filter specs...hole size, thread size, pressure release/psi, gasket diameter etc.

Are these the two?

Short (approx. 2.93")--Fram PH4967, Purolator PL 14476

Long (approx. 3.52")--Fram PH4386, Purolator PL 14477

I also find it odd, the filters for my Highlander are the 77 and my dad's vibe the 76. There don't seem to be any clearance issues, why anyone would go with the .5 inch shorter filter is beyond me.

If the gasket diameters and thread size are the same, it is usually but not always OK if there is room enough under the hood.

Vehicle engines with no internal bypass need a filter that has one, for instance. Not having one can court disaster. Also, an anti-drain back valve is the best in most applications, unless you have a vertically mounted filter with the open end pointing upwards.

The two Toyota sizes that I am familiar with do not match up.

Fram 3614 for the larger engines, and 4967 for the little engines.

The two Purolator filters numbers are PL14476 PureOne for the Corolla and that is the filter the book calls for. The one I was wondering if I could replace it with is number L10241 Classic. The last one is for the V6 Camrys and Toyota trucks. I thought it may be better since it was bigger????? Maybe it would be better to just stick with what is called for in the book and call it a day?????

The burst pressure is 400 PSI on the WIX 51394 Filter for the Corolla. Nominal Micron Rating: 21

The burst pressure is 275 PSI on the WIX 51348 Filter for the V6 Camry. Nominal Micron Rating: 15

Is the burst pressure the valve rating as when it opens and bypasses the paper element????

All other information is the same except for size.

10241 is about a 1/4" larger in diameter, so you would have to see if the gasket totally fits on the engine mounting seat correctly. The 10241 is also about 0.40" taller, so make sure there is no interference with the can. If the 10241 fits well on the engine, then it could be used from what I'm seeing.

The title "Oil Filter Exchange" is a little confuse.

Last year Autozone partnered with city of Santa Ana in a program they called "Oil Filter Exchange". You bring in used oil filters they will exchange it for new ones free of charge. I got 4-5 free oil filters mostly MicroGuard, some were spin on and some were cartridge.

They have differnet
Relief Valve Setting PSI one is 14 and one is 12
Im not sure if 2lbs could cause a problem,

You do use synthetic oil.....
also the FRAM ULTRA is a awesome oil filter.

Have you looked at the OEM Filters?

2 PSI difference in bypass valve settings won't hurt - close enough. The filter with the larger surface area probably has the slightly lower bypass setting.

If your running the 14476, try the 14477 (Fram 4386)

Been running oversized filters for 30+ years (1980 GM "X" car, 4 cylinder)

Like a cat in a box, if it fits, it sits.

I checked out the Purolator PL14477 and I think that it matches in every way only it is 3.52 inches long verses the PL14476 at 2.93. Thanks for the response!!!! I am gaining .59 inches for the same price!!!! Awesome!!!!

Thanks again!!!!

If it sits, it fits!!!!! I like that!!!!

You can use the Purolator PureOne 14776 / 14777 interchangeably on that engine. However, not to muddy the waters, but, if you are going with a larger filter, you may want to consider using the larger Purolator PureOne 10241 or even larger 20195 (FL 400S equivalent), which also fit on that engine.

The size progression is as follows:
14776 < 14777 < 10241 < 20195 (FL 400S equivalent)

To put it in perspective, using this 20195 filter increases the volume of oil in the sump by 0.27 quart (8.64 oz) over the 14776, and increases your filter surface area significantly (although I am not exactly sure of the sq. in. difference). The O.D. of the filter gasket on the 10241 and 20195 are a bit larger than the 14776 / 14777, but still fits on the mating surface well enough to prevent leaks.

I have done this in the past with zero issues.
