Toyota oil filter light leak

[ATex7239]

Y'all are just jealous cause my Toyota filter makes a better lantern.

^^^ All the brown stuff must be dirty oil trapped where the leak gaps were.

Imagine all the Lexus and Toyotas driving around with this ticking time bomb under the hood!!!
The amount of crud accumulating in all those cars is beyond comprehension!!
The horror!!!

You still on the "Let's make leak filters great again" trolling campaign?

Yes
Leak… Weak…Bleak … Very bad…
Leaky ..sneaky … even worse….
Leak very bad … in fact .. there’s nothing worse than a leak….why?
It leaks !! That’s all you need to know!
But wait! It’s not a leak after all!!
Why?
REDEMPTION!!
It stays within the filter stream and is transformed back to “unleaked”
I kid you not!!
Miraculous!!!

I think you've lost it over leaky oil filters. You keep on believing they are great and keep 'em on your engine, not going on mine.

Probably a big factor on why the Toyota filters aren't very high efficiency.

Toyota is so good at everything they do. I don't understand why they don't spec their filters to be 99% @ 20 microns, and award their filter contract to a company like Pentius. Perhaps it's their "B team" that is in charge of the filter specs.

So we are sure Toyota knows about the problem(?)

 

[Fair enough]

Toyota seems to have discontinued the TRD line made by Champ Labs, maybe this has been for awhile. It was for racing and low restriction, yet had better efficiency than what the board believes the regular filters have.
Denso makes the filters and some quality issues have been shown here recently. If the resin is flat there is very little light leak. I opened one N1 that had a bump , a raised piece of resin on the sealing surface. That one had about as much like leak as a bad Fram.
They can’t know of that issue because the cans are sealed, sold, and that’s all they know. The only place showing the leak was WCW.
