Beware WIX Filter #51394
Hello All
I have posted a thread over at BITOG, but I will quote it in full here. The rep from WIX is currently helping me try to resolve this problem, but I thought it prudent to post this here as well. WIX has done a stealth redesign on the #51394 filter for the Yaris and it is no longer compatible as far as I can tell. Quote:

Would you consider Wix 57145 to be compatible?

According to AMSOIL which also sells Wix filters the model that you are discussing isn't even on the compatibility list

It isn't that it is a bad brand per se....just lettin you know that a very well respected brand that is a partner with them doesn't list that part number so apparently there is a miscommunications somewhere?

The Toyota filter does a good job of filtration . Now using an AC Delco . Both can be bought for $4 or less . Was thinking of using a Hastings oil filter . Think that's the same as Baldwin . Thanks for the warning . Here are some U.O.A.s for the '08 sedan with the Toyota ( Denso ) 90915-YZZF2 oil filter , http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38135 . Another U.O.A. from the 2010 3 door with the YZZF2 , http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34042 . These are also posted at B.I.T.O.G..

All those TOYOTA oil filters used were made in Thailand . The oil filter from the factory is made in Japan . Have had issues with a few TOYOTA oil filters seeping oil from the gasket (O-ring ) . That's why the switch to AC Delco . May get an U.O.A. in spring to see how the AC DELCO compares to the YZZF2 .

I have used the cheapest, crappiest oil filter on every car I have ever owned in 35 years and never had a problem of any kind.
Except for my 1974 VW Beetle which didnt HAVE an oil filter. It has the distinction of having the most miles on it, ~250,000 miles. 1980 Subaru 99,000 miles - sold to buy 1988 VW Station Wagen for kids. 110,ooo miles - sold when the car wouldnt start - fuel pump reply was bad. I didnt know it. 1992 Honda Accord Station Wagen (used) 153,000 miles when it was stolen. It was revoered by the police when they busted a drug gang. (trashed in the getaway attempt) In the ash tray was a business card House Of Pain Body Piercing. !997 Saturn Sedan (used) 150,000 miles when the auto transmission went. 2005 Camry Sedan. current. 94,000 miles

Same here, but when the price difference between the crappiest and what is regarded as a very good one ill splurge and get the better one.

You also make no mention of how often you change the oil. I'm over 120k miles in the Echo, and with all of the track days and my driving style in general, I'll definitely put the best quality filter. Keeping the oil clean is huge. When I change my synthetic oil every 2 track days or 5k miles, it's usually black or close to it... would a cheap Fram filter with 1/2-3/4 of the amount of media of a Wix/Mobil1/K&N do as good a job filter? Maybe.

I changed the oil every 2000 miles religiously but remember...these engines only had 2.5 quarts of oil in them! Good luch with that ECHO...the finest small car ever made IMO. My sons 2000 ECHO has 180k on it. I bought it for him with 117k on it five or six years ago. When he comes to visit theres no oil on the diptick and the tires have 15 psi in them!

Here the cheapest filters are about $6, a wix one is about $9. I just bought half a dozen off Rockauto.com for $3.60 each. I'm set for a while. |

I use Mobil One 0-30W with Wix/Napa oil filter. Both are great IMO. 65,000 miles on my 2007 Yaris. I change oil and filter every 6500 miles. No problems.
Thanks zkay for your excellent post. Very helpful! |
