does anyone know the part number(s) to a bigger oil filter for a 02 Tundra 3.4 V6? I have not been able to locate a cross reference. I hear Motorcraft may have one out there. DO you think it's worth getting one if you can your oil every 3-4k?

I've used both and would do so again. The one advantage that MC filters have, at least if you're using it on a Ford product, is that they are 100% assured to meet the OEM spec's for the engine. If that includes a silicon ADBV ..that's what it has.
btw-ADBV spec's aren't usually a nitrile or silicon thing. It's supposed to hold for so much time without leaking. Other filter manufacturers, if they weren't the OEM assembly line producer (and IIRC - Pete C. correct me if I'm wrong), meet or exceed the "performance" spec's of the OEM. They don't get the detailed OEM specification to go by.

So do MotorCraft, Fram, Wix, and anyone else. Nothing new there. But ONLY the OEM assembly line filter manufacturer and the OEM aftermarket producer KNOW the OEM spec's. The rest of just "meet or exceed" the performance specs.
Ford, GM, or anyone else don't just hand those details out to anyone.
Gary is correct. We are working on specs for a filter to be made by a manufacturer just for our fleet but we are going beyond min specs. We are working out a test sequence and a spec and it's not as straigh forward as one might think.
thx fellas........Ill check them out this weekend when I go to the local wally world
"Ford makes Motorcraft"---Champ, you should know better!
Gary, I currently and always have used OEM Toyota filters on my truck. If I were to go to a larger one, which one of the 3 would you or anyone else recommends. Napa Gold (wix), ST or MC? I did a UOA with the OEM Toyota filter and someone said the insolubles looked a little high for the mileage even though they were within the UA ranges. Thx

I'd say MC on a cost/benefit based purchase. If you're not getting much mileage out of your sump, then MC is a good choice. ST is fine for short OCIs too. Wix/NG is a well constructed filter (one of the best, imo) that is worth its price ..but if you're not going to challenge the utility of the cheaper filters, I see no advantage to using them. That is, most nitrile ADBV will last 3-5k...so if you're doing 3-5k OCIs ..then the feature of a silicon ADBV probably won't be a needed feature (sometimes it will). Wix/NG doesn't tend to have a filtration advantage over most of its contemporaries in its price class ..but appears to be more application specific than other after market offerings.
Since I'm into longer/extended drains on vehicles, I can take advantage of upper tier filters without unnecessary costs.

Great, thx for your input. Hopefully I'll go to Wal-Mart today or tomorrow and get one. I did an oil and filter change on my truck about a month or month and a half ago and I only have about 420 miles on it. It’s not driven that much. On my last UOA, posters said the insolubles looked high for the mileage even though it was under the UA. In your opinion, should I change the OF now and run a UOA around 4k, like Blackstone advised, or should I just leave everything the way it is and wait till the 4K OCI, then start over fresh with the MC filter and new oil? I changed my air filter, as Terry recommended, about 20 miles ago, oppss. I meant to change the air filter before I left but I forgot and took the 400 mile trip with the old K&N AF. My last UOA was with RP and this time I'm running Val synpower. I want to see if one oil is better than the other.
You can buy a Motorcraft filter for $3.28 at Walmart, Id say its a no brainer. They have so many more extras over the Super tech, for the difference in price. Just the black plastic cage instead of steel internals should be enough to turn you off.
Sorry to sidetrack a bit here but what is the general consensus on using oversized oil filters? Less pressure at startup? Myth?
How can you tell? Is this statement fact or an opinion. Show me the numbers.
Brain ----........are these the numbers to the ST filters or to the MC? I have an 02 3.4 V6 Toyota Tundra
