Which filter do you like better?

[Bailey28]

Two filters for a Toyota 2.4l Camry. Tell us what you like and dont like about them based on the pics.
I will reveal the brands and prices soon.

Right hand. Seems to have more pleats and the individual pleats have a tighter fold.

 

[UGASpike]

The filter on the right has 48 pleats, compared to 43 on the left. The right filter has a more uniform look and appears slightly thicker. Mobil on the left and PGI on the right?

The one that filters at 99+ % at 20 microns!

I don't buy filters by what they look like; I, primarily, buy them based on their tested filtering capabilities. But, that's just me.

Cant tell specifications by a picture. Otherwise both look adequate.

The one on the right looks like the filter that Toyo Roki used to manufacture for Honda motorcycles, that was made in Japan.... with the tightly folded pleats and the hot glue looking end caps

Now it is completely different and made by "WAFTEC" in China.

The one on the right looks to have a little better quality/construction ... but that doesn't mean it will perform any better.

I think the filter on the right is the OEM Toyota (04152-YZZA1) by looking at the waffle like pleats' texture and also the clear and thinner glue/silicone. The pleats are uniform and closer to one another compared to the other filter. Overall, it looks better constructed than the left one.

Those look like they are for the Camry 2.5.. not 2.4 ..... and is it a 2015 by chance ?

The seal on the left looks like a Wix Protec : https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=13771937&cc=3308939&pt=5340&jsn=516&optionchoice=0-0-0-1

Those both look like PGI to me. The one on the right looks like so many Korean made Toyota applications that are branded for lots of folks.

Definitely on the right. The “fuzz” texture on the media suggests it might be higher efficiency even as the higher pleat count suggests more media area. Also, the thin PET-resembling endcaps are IMO superior to the milky looking plastic (presumable HDPE?)

I want to see more of the guts

Without further delay here are the players!

PrimeGuard was $3.75 at Dollar General bought today. They are $1.61 at RA. The Protec is $2.71 at RA, I haven't checked locally. By looks alone, I could be a PrimeGuard FanBoi lol.

Thanks for the pics. I'm wondering if these are Mobil 1 filters since Highline Warren is a distributor for them?

Are there any markings or print on the filter itself?
