This was in service for roughly 3,000 miles and 1 year. Total miles on the vehicle is roughly 256,000. Oil was CenPeCo 5w40 HDEO.

Back in was SuperTech Full Synthetic High Mileage 5w30 along with same filter.

Looks great!

Some folks are bothered by the efficiency (or lack there of lol) of the Toyota filters but I like them. C&P’s are pretty much always solid. Dealership near me has them for ~$5 each. I love the pre lubed gasket and plastic cover it comes with to keep out contaminants.

I always use the Toyota filters in cars I have owned up to 24 years, always did the job for me far as I could tell.

Looks like some cleaning or something happened as oil appears very dark. Nice work sir,
Thank You

That seems to be the trend with this car. It’s usually pretty dark for some reason. I’ve done a couple UOA and they were pretty good so I don’t worry about it too much. It does get a fair amount of idle time in the winter so that probably doesn’t help.

With that many miles it could have more ring blow-by, and lots of idle time probably doesn't help either. Does seem a bit (but not crazy) dark for only 3000 miles.
 
Do you know where these are made? It seems China likes to use green color for products but that's just speculation. As you well know we don't see too many Tercel's of that vintage left. Was the Super Tech cheaper than the CenPeCo? Just curious. Thanks for posting.
 
I agree, most filters will look good at this mileage, but Toyota filters will also look this good at the end of the OCI. Currently I'm looking at the Fram TG 3600 for 10-12K run; if they don't end up looking good, I'll probably switch back to the Toyota filters.

whip city cut open some. The green has changed to black adbv and both are silicone. What I noticed was the small N1 has quite a bit more media than the larger Purolator in his video. It looks like the center tube is much smaller in diameter is the reason.

It was easier to get at the moment. I only have access to CenPeCo when I’m at the truck show in Walcott in July and I didn’t have quite enough to do another OCI. I have also used Schaeffer 5w40 in the past as well in this car but need my stash for a couple equipment PMs coming up. I think the Schaeffer is around $35/gallon vs $18 for 5 quarts of SuperTech. I wish SuperTech would do a 5w40 HDEO in the US.

Also I started using the high end HDEO when I was doing a 90 mile daily commute with this car and would sometimes go 5-7k miles on an OCI. My daily commute is 8 miles round trip now plus any fires, wrecks or LZ setups that I respond to with the car. Even running the “cheaper” oil it will last me a long time with the limited miles I run now.

That's right! 🍻 A competing product at a low price. Walton's are you listening? ;)

That green-ish looking ADBV is looking for a match ... betting silicone.

WCW has previously burn test confirmed topic green adbv to be silicone. * 'Afaik' topic N1 suffix oil filter still uses the green adbv. Otoh, 90915-YZZD3 uses black silicone adbv. Toyota OEM Thai Denso still only proven exception to "Occam's" black adbv being nitrile/rubber.



Topic filter looks like typical Toyota Thai Denso OEM, looks fine. Like the Toyota OEM cartridge filter, only inside a can.

Thanks for c&p.

The reason I could say was green, now black adbv is I happened to buy some awhile ago that were green, and bought recently at dealer and it’s now a black adbv. Both have ARS written on them. I looked it up, a Japanese company. I cut one of each open, new ones. They were cheap at the dealer online. I have only one car for them and have too many of different types. It would be similar to seeing Parker on a USA filter adbv. I don’t just say things. I also found light leaks at the bypass spring.
The spring is very similar to Fram but better made. The hard resin seal can be imperfect though, and any bump will raise the spring.
Then I bought a current XG2 and omg it was not good.

ARS website. I am sure these are top quality, just because that’s how they do things in these companies, high respect for their product and customer.

The curiosity here rubbed off on me so I tried to burn the ADBV tonight. It did sustain fire for a short time. Hopefully someone can tell me what this means.

I’m betting it’s nitrile rubber. Silicone doesn’t burn like that. I’m sure ZeeOSix can fill us in.

Just the opposite. Silicone burns with white smoke and leaves with ash ... it's also harder to ignite and burns slowly. Nitrile burns with black smoke and leaves black ashes.

Whip City shows how they burn in this video.
