TRD High Flow Oil Filters
I'm trying to figure out if TRD filters are worth it. I found two, one seems to have a better flow rate but I can't find figures. Flow rate figures would be nice, if someone could get them.
TRD High Flow Oil Filters, $12 PTR14-00000-05 TRD High Performance Oil Filter, 4 Cyl $10 PTR43-33010, 98% at 20 Microns Wix/Napa Gold 51394, $5 Max Flow Rate: 7-9 GPM Nominal Micron Rating: 19 Amsoil EAO09-EA, $15 98.7 percent at 15 microns Going to get Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30 after the break-in period, so trying to get a high flow, high efficiency filter. |

Sparks Toyota lists 2 different TRD filters for the Yaris, one has an actual picture (white can like K&N) the other one doesn't have a picture. It's kind of weird that they have 2 TRD filters, maybe one's better who knows???

A Napa Gold/Wix filter for $5...if you're doing 5K OCI with the Pennzoil Platinum, like I'm doing, no need to spend twice the money. The WIX filter is a very good, well constructed filter. Only difference at all with the WIX filter and the Wix built AMSOIL Ea filter is the media, because the AMSOIL Ea is a 25K/1 year OCI filter.

if you're not over-revving your yaris constantly (which means you're revving to 6500 for long periods of time) why would you need a high flow oil filter?
what's more important is the dirt-catching ability of the filter.

but the lower the restriction the lower overall oil pressure you'll see.. by 1-2 psi.. not a big deal honestly, especially when you're running heavier oil in a forced induction application

If the oil pump doesnt have an internal bypass relief, then the pump will force the filter to pass whatever it can pump - which means if the filter media is overwhelmed, the pressure will unseat the bypass valve in the filtercan, and NOW you got plenty of flow (though unfiltered). Hey, I suppose it doesn't have to be constantly filtered. Understand, on most cold starts under 20 deg F the filter is not working at all - its just bypassing until the oil warms up. The "gelled" oil just wont flow through the media. - the bro Last edited by TheSilkySmooth; 01-13-2009 at 01:10 PM. Reason: two thumbs typist |

Speaking of M1 filters, whom is the supplier? Still Champion labs or is it Hastings or wix. I heard it can vary by application. I's the M1 more restrictive due to a less porous "paper"?

i don't understand why people don't just stick to a "toyota" filter. they're inexpensive, of good quality (not just paper inside) and look great on the car ;)

+1 on that . Been using TOYO filters for years without an incident . Had good luck with GM oil filters as well . Used them and TOYO filters for '03 MATRIX , '99 PRIZM ( Corolla ) , 2000 PRIZM , and '99 Corolla . They're the same as used for the YARIS , 1st Gen XB , etc..

Mobil 1 filters are made by Champion Labs and they are very similar to Pure One Premium Filter... They have more restriction due to a fiber (fiberglass) enhanced media... The top tier Wix filters also have a fiber (fiberglass) enhanced media. interesting how the argument can go on about what filter is better. One filter that I would never use is the Fram. There is so much written about how inferior they are due to cost cutting. Last edited by mimelio; 05-26-2009 at 12:00 AM. |

Who said Yaris was slow?

Go for the Wix or the Toyo if you are changing your oil at 5K
The Amsoil filter is a great option but you need to use it with their oils for extended change intervals in order to see the financial benefit from it. |
