re: Fram oil filters

If you get some spare time, read up on the site 'Bobistheoilguy.com' There's tons of reading there on people who are fanatics on oil & filters. To make a long story short, 99.99% of them agree that Fram is the worst that you can use on your car.

I'm not sure why other's didn't go with this deal but I went ahead and bought the Oil for Life deal. Oil's just going to go up in price so I figure it's going to pay for itself in the long run.

Just a tip for those new to changing their own oil, stock up on supplies before hand like a couple drain plugs and drain plug seals so that you're not SOL if one of those happen to be bad.

And the Winner is…..



I was a little surprised by the results. With cost considered, the Motorcraft FL-820S was the highest rated filter, but not by much. Here are the results:

I buy them by the case from our sponsors and mine are marked Denso which is made in Japan. It seems for awhile they were purolator. Links I posted show Denso as a good quality filter manufacturer.

I just use a good old champ filter.... from reading these filter rating links Champ (or Champion) is one of the better filters on the market for the price

on my last (and only) car, i always used quaker state oil & fram "double guard" filters.. never had any problems with the engine in 6 years, and it ran strong right to the junkyard. i figured i'd just continue as i've had good luck. but after reading all this, i'm now nervous to be using fram filters. the ones i get are about double the price of the "regular" filters. hmmmmm... unsure.

Here is some useful advice. If you choose to do your own oil change, make sure you keep all the receipts from the oil and filter purchase. If something happens to your engine Toyota will probably ask for all of your service records before they warranty the work.

On a side note, isn't there some sort of service light that needs to be reset? I thought I read that in the manual. Any idea how you reset that light?

I think the Denso part number for the Yaris filter is 150-1012, or 150-1000 -- doesn't seem to be any difference between the two. They are available online for US$5.82 each.

Can anyone confirm that this is the right part number?

Thanks,

--Rob

Okay, well, the 150-1012 doesn't look like the filter on my car right now. 150-1012 seems to be a bit shorter and fatter. So much for using a 2005 Echo filter.

i would not use the fram filter if my life depended on it.

buy your toyota filters online like i do, from partznet.com

they're currently $21 for a six pack..

better price than a fram and way better filter!
