Which high end oil filter?

[kraxxus]

I drive an '06 Scion tC if anyone has this car and uses one of these filters. Have all 3 available to me OTC. Unless the RP sale ends and they take the filters off the shelf. M1 & RP don't state any "micron size" on box. K&N states 10-20. Heard very highly of K&N in terms of oil filters. M1 & K&N = $13. RP = $15

Thanks for feedback!

I have the same engine, but all I've run are WIX/Napa, Purolator and the stp/supertechs thus far. The PureOne and Napa Golds are great filters at half the price, but I'm not sure if you'd stoop to that level.

After seeing a 16k mi UOA on an engine like mine Im going to give Donaldson filters a try. P169071. I can get them for the same price as an M1 from a place I found online.

I bought a case of them last year. They are exceptional.

Havent heard of Donaldson. I did see a PureOne filter w/ Micronic filtration advertised on the box. Didn't say the what level.

I was just going over your thread, with the cutaway too. Very nice!

ETA: I just took apart a P1 and wasnt impressed. It was pretty flimsy compared to a $5 Thai Denso filter I also cut open.

They make transport filters.

They were the pioneers in synthetic glass filter media as well as the honeycomb style air filters.

They are a popular OEM for air filters and housings as well.

Donaldson does make a good filter!
I've been running M1 or K&N on my small yota motor. supposedly they are the same exact filter - except for the nut on the end. I've seen partical count UOA's on M1 filters vs. EAO's and the M1 did measureably better on small particals.

I started using the M1 fillter when they first came out in the 90s, and have used a basket load of them of them over the years always with good results.

Do you have an AZ or AA that has M1 filter + 5 qts oil for $30? Thats a deal I couldnt pass up, even if its just to stock up for the zombie apocalypse.

Pure One or Fram Tough Guard is "high-end" enough for me. I do 1 filter change per 2 oil changes.

 

[kraxxus]

Donaldson does sound really goood. Read up on their website a bit.

I got buy 4qts & filter of RP get 5th qt free. So it was $53 instead of $61 Pepboys.
Advance Auto had the M1 and K&N filters. Didn't check to see if they had DIY oil change deals tho. I'll have to next time I'm there.

Quite a bit of difference in those 2 filters. The Fram Extended Guard is not bad, but everything else...

I beginning to hear good rumblings about the RP filter - hope its better than their oil! No need to spend $$ for a thicker can and a nut on the k&n. I would prefer the toyota nippon denso japan p/n 90915-10004 in this app. it as a depth "foamed" media filter and its what came on new import toyotas. I Never use the YZZf2, had problems with EVERY ONE giving low oil pressure. The purolator/bosch would be a good second choice.
Oil wise, I've found castol syntec works well in my yaris - but i have to substitute a pint of 10w40 syntec in with the 3+qt of 5w30 syntec to get the VVTi to work right.

I`d just run a Totota oem filter.

 

[kraxxus]

Thought about keeping the OEM, it is made for retaining oil for cold starts very well in the car. Thanks for all the feedback guys

Are you going to run a long OCI?

I like and use M1 filters but they are expensive.

I can get similar performance from a Purolator Pure One/Bosch Premium at half the price.

Not in the same league IMO.

RP, Donaldson, and Amsoil EAO are in a class of their own.
