Up on the workbench today is a Beck Arnley 041-8066 (VIC C-110), which Beck Arnley lists as a cross for Toyota 90915-YZZN1. I am cutting a slew of filters to compare to the Wix WL10332 that I was thoroughly disappointed with for a variety of reasons, but primarily, poorly formed louvers.

The Beck Arnley 041-8066 (VIC C-110) is 3 in (76.2mm) tall which taller than the Toyota 90915-YZZN1 and the Wix WL10332 by 3/8" on the Wix and 1/4" over the Toyota.

The can feels well made, the heaviest and thickest to cut so far, and is labeled MADE IN JAPAN, Overall the filter weighs 215.0 g. The baseplate has 8 punched holes with no evidence of any burrs on the ADBV side, base gasket is a P style gasket like the OE Toyota filter. Can thickness was measured to be 0.0235 in. The ADBV is orange and appears to be silicone and feels very pliable, I am not sure what material it is constructed from and Vic's site gave no ADBV material information for this filter, an lists no efficiency data that I could find. The filter is constructed with the bypass valve located in the dome end, with no advertised setpoint, and the valve seals metal on metal with no visible light leaks. The bypass valve is 5/16" in Diameter. The filter core weighed 63.6 g, was 2 5/16 in tall, had 68 pleats, with a media length of 56 in, and a media thickness of 0.0215 in. The media is supported on each end by a metal end cap with no light leaks noted at the potting material, and no glue residue was present on the endcaps or elsewhere in the filter media. The center tube uses a round overlapped and spot welded tube with punched holes with no burrs noted. Nice overall filter construction with lots of straight media pleats, but an unknown efficiency.

I found the following video while trying to research the VIC filter brand. The video is in English and is on YouTube HERE

Overall the filter seems to be well constructed, a visual inspection prior to cutting would have passed my comfort test to spin on my vehicle, which by comparison, the Wix did not pass.

Probably silicone. Burn it and see if there is black or white smoke. White smoke is silicone.
 
Looks well constructed. Curious whether the filter material is hole ridden like a lot of Japanese made oil filters, but if it weren’t for the metal end caps, I could be convinced it was the OE Toyota Denso.

WCW did a recent vid on this made in Japan filter. You’re correct. The media is rather porous under the microscope. Otherwise nicely built.

I saw the video posted by another BITOG member on a VIC filter, but don't recall if it was this same part number or not, the media was the same color, so probably the same media. Overall it was a VERY nicely constructed filter with the most media by surface area of any that I've cut so far. If it had published efficiency numbers that would be great. Probably similar in efficiency to the OE Toyota Denso at about 50% at 20 um.
 
I tested the orange ADBV from this filter using the smoke method, confirmed white smoke upon combustion. This is a really nicely built filter that aside from the unknown efficiency would be a great candidate for use.
 
No matter what I think, but after all this, a purolator red or one, or the Toyota approved N1, would work well imo. The N1 has different looking media than their old filters. I have Puro Red L14476 going on, it had a defective date code. Then a couple N1, then a Puro Boss, and by that time who knows what life brings.
