Fuel Filter

[Manny1337]

I bought an Autozone Fuel Filter when i did my tune up 10k ago and now it seems to be leaking around the seal. I am sick of autozone parts they always fail. whats a good brand of fuel filters?

I have been with Toyota USA now for 2 years and i have asked about some times swapping our some components with aftermarket parts. Sometimes there somethings that are just not a question of whether you should use Toyota Genuine parts or not. I have asked around the shop and all techs agree, unless you are heavily modified, you should stick with a Toyota Genuine Fuel filter. I have a 99 1mz Camry i replaced fuel filter with genuine service parts. Be careful if you have a 1MZ when replacing the fuel filter to not cross thread the aluminum threads on the fuel lines when removing or re-installing the nuts on the in and out sides of the filter. good luck bro!

just go to autozone and get another one.

even for aftermarket parts there are different qualities and grades of parts.


I went with an aftermarket one from canadian tire (here in canada) because the oem one was $80, which is just overpriced. Been using it for 3 years and boosting on it.....and no problems

yeah 80 buck is kinda nuts lol. i ended up going with a fram i went with the no name autozone one befor and as i said in under 10k it was leaking around the bottom seal. i hope this one last a little longer
