Who makes Toyota oil filters?

[00 scrub]

I was wondering if anyone knew who manufactured Toyotas oil filters? I have heard that they are copys of Purolator Pure one's, But I haven't been able to back that up. Anyone on here know?

Toyota's OEM filters used to be their own design, don't think its changed at all. Last I heard they were still way better than anything you can get thats non OEM.

i use the toyota oem oil filter every 3 thousand miles with mobil 1 pure synthetic, plus valvoline oil treatment...

my engine is strong and runs smooth...i dont think i will ever put a different oil filter on my car...

TRD oil filters = K & N
Toyota oil filters = ?

I've read a few comparisons on oil filters and OE Toyota and Honda oil filters are better than most of aftermarket ones. Mobil 1 makes good oil filters but they don't sell any around here.

I've heard good things about K&N filters too. They seem to allow alot of flow when needed (quicjk actign bypass valve guess). I have heard that some OEM Toyota filters are high quality, but they use cardboard material to hold the media together. Not sure about the Celica filters though. Mobil 1 is supposed to offer very good filtration.

The Toyota GT-S filter part no. is 90915- yzza1, the one that ends with a2 is the GT filter and is slightly smaller.

As long as they are not made by Fram then all is fine.

Cut the old oil filter after oil chang, that is the easy way to find out if it is a good filter.

Well I'm looking for the one with the best flow. Unfortunatley cutting them will only tell me how they are made, not how the by pass valve will flow.

Purolator Pure one is well constructed and low cost. You can get it at Sears for $ 2.60 at sale. As far as flow, there was a post before talking about using bigger filter such as PH2835 for Lexus. You can also check Purolator Pure one L10241 or Warmart SuperTech ST3614 ($1.99 each and well constructed too according to other post) to see if it fit. These two may be same size as Lexus PH2835 with same thread to fit. Please go back to old post to see what it said (The post shows pictures). If it fit, it will give u more filtering power. Make sure you watch to see if it fit well without leaking for a few days. I haven't tried yet. Let us know how it work if you try.

I heard most Toyota oil filters are designed/made by Denso and Puralator. I know TRD oil filter are made by K&N.
