Also, I notice the Toyota filters have an O ring vs. the flat rings the aftermarket brands have.Must be for a reason, I've noticed this on dealer Hyundai filters too. The Thai filters also have some kinda lube on them under the nice plastic wrapper that keeps junk out of the filter. Makes the dealer happy too to see a" Genuine Toyota Part" too. I've used Purolator PureOne. I like the IROC blue paintjob.....

The PureOne's have a textured yellow finish now, which looks cool, but I just ordered a complete line of Beck/Arnley filters. Decided to switch from the PureOne after trying them once. |

Sweet looking filter. I've got one left before I actually start using the Beck/Arnley filters. I don't know anything about the Beck/Arnley's, other than they've got a pretty good import-only line of parts.

Now, I dont like that leaf spring on the purolator. You will be opening that bypass all the time in the winter up north if you car is not garaged. As an engineer I would prefer to see a coil spring or better yet an independant bypass valve assembly

Looking at a WIX box, a safety by-pass valve assy sits just above the silicone A.D.B. valve, and a steel coil spring on top of the upper metal end cap. |

Wix are just about equal to Purolator Pure One filters but, I can get the Pure Ones for a couple dollars cheaper than the Wix.

The Thai filter is a good filter, but it sure isn't the OEM Denso filter that came on the car. Just don't understand why I can buy a coffee mug that's made in Japan at the dealership's parts counter, but can't get the Japanese oil filter that was originally installed at the factory. It had better media, o-ring and A.D.B. valve.

Mimelio and !st Nice cut-away pics. You just gotta know in the real cold weather that the thick oil wont go through our 'tiny' filter element and the oil pressure is pushing open that bypass valve on every cold start - so the bypass has to be a robust design. The wix looks good to me but it think the purolator has a bigger filter element area. I want a bigger filter altogether! I'll search the wix database and see what else BIGGER might fit. Motto: 400 sq-in or Bust! - the bro

Oh man, more thai filter bashing. just like GRUMPY used to do. Funny, Grumpy's wife ALSO had a RAV4. Hmm..... I doubt a RAV4 died due to the filter the dealer tech installed. That's if you even have/had one. Thousands of oil changes are done Nationwide every day and so far yours is the only claim I encountered that the mfgs. part they distribute worldwide is the culprit. Sorry, but I gotta put up the flag here. Welcome back Grumpy! PS: I love complex mind games and look forward to more witty posts and comments. Thanks and be well. Thanks!
