Toyota 90915-YZZN1 vs Wix WL10332 cut open

[TheRuley]

both came off my wife's 2023 Rav4. The toyota filter saw 5,000km before draining the factory fill, the wix saw 7,000km, which was mostly winter cold starts and extended idle time.

Not much to choose between them as far as build quality goes. The Toyota filter clearly has more filtering media though, so we will probably stick with the Toyota filter moving forward.

I do like the metal end caps on the Wix but both come with silicon ADBV. Good comparison.

The thing I can't stand about the Toyota filter is that the top and bottom are only partially sealed and through that open pleat fold unfiltered oil can get in without being filtered. It's why Toyota did the worst in amsoils filter test at only 51% filtration. Some is going through the pleats but some is passing through that open part in the fold. No point in having more media if it's terribly sealed. I'd take the wix all day.

That seems like such a stupid oversight ***

The ends of the pleats on the toyota filter are sealed with some kind of adhesive.

It's not enough, they need to use more. Look at the poor filtration results I posted.

Every Toyota filter I opened up had the media glued pretty good on the ends. No oil would pass through there unfiltered. It is true that they are less efficient than others, but they are good enough. Toyota engines last hundreds of thousands of miles using those filters.

Both filters look like they got the job done. Two different designs, no endcap vs metal. The Toyota OEM looks like their cartridge filter, just inside a can. The pleats are glued and sealed at the ends. So, that's not responsible for what's known about their efficiency. Honda OEM uses fiber endcaps, and their efficiency only somewhat better compared to Fram EG/TG with fiber end caps. The media used is the most likely explanation.

Thanks for c&p.

It's the media efficiency, not dirty oil going through unglued pleat ends. Each pleat end is sealed with an adhesive.

I used to appreciate the base-end bypass feature on the WIX. None is apparent here.

Maybe can is too short to fit it and have adequate media area.

Keep in mind those results were gathered 13 years ago. We have no idea how the 2011 version of those filters would compare to the 2024 version of them.

They might be worse the way quality is changing. About $3000 will give you an answer.

The wix has their usual dome-end bypass.

The oil doesn't leak past the pleats. I've cut open several of these filters and the hard epoxy seals around every pleat. There is the possibility that it could come through where the spring is but you can't tell when it's apart how it sealed.
