I was asking the guys in store about a genuine toyota filter for my car... or as someone here mentioned Ryco Syntec.
The guy here said the K&N HP 1002 part is a high flow filter and will work better than either the ryco or the genuine toyota filter.

That would be the one that is the factory OEM equivalent as is the K&N HP 1002.
Syntec in that?
In regards to air filters... I thought K&N made the best for that... I mean all the muscle car guys etc run that round Red one on their show cars... ? Unless those are different to whats on these newer cars.
Hi Mate,
It's always hard with a grey import. However, I think the early 90's Toyota Soarer also had the same 2.5L Turbo engine.
If that is the case, and it is the same engine and filter, it takes a Ryco Z418 oil filter, or Valvoline V058A, and yes I believe the K&N HP1002 is the same.
Some equivalents would also be the Repco ROF58A or the Wesfil Cooper WZ418.
Yes Ryco make a syntec version, it's the Z418ST.
But best to check with Ryco yourself
