Some of the aftermarket filters are very good - some are awful - to
save a few bucks there must be good aftermarket filters out there. Wix
is one possibility -

How much are the Toyota filters for your truck?

My dealer charges me less than $4 each for the Toyota filter to fit the
4.0L V6, and tosses plug gaskets in for free. I buy the filter one at a
time, no case purchases.

Most any oil filter will do the job, AS LONG AS YOU CHANGE YOUR OIL AT
THE RECOMMENDED INTERVALS! For more engine protection, buy filters with
an anti-drainback valve built in. This ensures the filter stays filled
with oil when you turn your engine off, rather than have all of it
drain back into the crankcase. This ensures a much quicker supply of
oil to the engine when you start it, which is when MOST engine wear
occurrs.

I went and purchased a Fram oil filter for my Tundra V8. I started to change
oil and noticed that the Fram was half the size of the Toyota OEM filter. I
also noticed that the Fram was the same filter, PH 3614 that was on my old
truck, 22RE 4 cyl. Went back to the parts store and checked all filters they
had, none was like the OEM. Went to my dealer, $5.71 per filter. Went to
Ebay today, Greentree Motors are selling them by the case for $29.00 plus $9
shipping. They even let me mix and match, I own a 96 Camry, a 95 4x4 and a
05 Tundra. After seeing the difference in filters, I'll never use nothing
but OEM Toyota filters.

I totally agree. I can't figure out people who'll spend more than $20K
(more like $25K or $30K) for a truck and then penny-pinch on oil filters.
Same with air filters and other consumables.

If it's got tits, tires, tubes, or transistors, it's trouble.

I spend $6,995.00 for my 93 base model Toyota Pickup, brand new. It now
has over 210,000 miles on it and runs great. I've never used anything
but the cheapest Fram oil filters on it, and Valvoline 10/30 oil. It
still doesn't burn a drop of oil between changes.

Different strokes. My comment still stands. All I use is Toyota oil
filters.

I support your decision to support Toyota by buying genuine Toyota oil
filters. If my engine starts to suck oil at 300,000 miles, who is to say
it wouldn't have lasted 400,000 miles had I used genuine Toyota oil
filters. I'll let you know in a few years if it makes it to 300,000
miles because I intend to keep driving this truck as long as it keeps
going.

So far, aside from normal maintainance, I've had to put in a water pump
and thermostat, front brake pads, a battery, one head light, and weld a
crack in the exhaust pipe. The truck has never been worked on my anyone
but me. I just can't imagine a more reliable vehicle.

I've owned nothing but Toyota trucks since I bought my first new one in
1978, off the showroom floor, $4800............I've never used nothing but
fram oil filters.....but on my 2005 Tundra, $30,000 truck, the parts dealer
gives me the same fram oil filter for my V8 that I used for my 22RE. I had
no problem with the fram filters but compared to the Toyota filter on my V8
it was about half the size, meaning it holds less oil and there is less
filter media for the oil to travel through. I like the bigger filter so I
ordered a case of them at a delivered cost of $3.80 a filter, no tax and I
don't have to drive 30 miles to town.

I used Toyota oil filters exclusively for twenty years. The engine lasted
225,000 hard miles. I remember I wasn't able to change the oil for over
10,000 miles once. Don't ride me about that cuz the reasons it happened are
not important. I don't recommend doing it. Currently, I am using Fram oil
filters because they are easier to get off than the OEM part. The OEM
product is hard to grip and I have busted a lot of knuckles getting it off.
However, I am a little apprehensive about using it. So far, knock on wood,
no problems. It is a matter of convenience, not price that I use it.
However, I will admit that due to the age of my truck, I have started using
more aftermarket stuff as long as it is the same or better than original
spec. Last year there was a thread in this group about oil filters. An oil
filter test was conducted and here is the web page:
http://www.mr2.com/TEXT/oil_filter_test.html

There was another reference for oil filter testing which is no longer
available to me. http://www.scuderiaciriani.com/rx7/oil_filter_study/

The most important reason for using the Toyota filter was that it had an
anti-drainback valve which Fram did not.

Below is a quote from Roger Brown of 4Crawler.com:
Its called an anti-drainback valve and helps to keep oil in the horizontally
mounted filter when the engine is shut off. Why? So that when the engine
is started again, the oil filter will already be full so that the oil
pessure will build faster. Why is this important? Main reason is that the
timing chain tensioner is operated by oil pressure, so low oil pressure =
low timing chain tension, which is not a good thing.

My take on using Toyota parts is this. The items bought from the local
parts store are usually of lower quality than Toyota OEM. Those parts are
cheaper, but they don't last as long and I have to buy them more often,
which kills the savings issue. I want that truck to work as close to the
original product as possible. That is why I bought it in the first place;
it had quality over anything else that I saw available at that time. Why
would I want to replace the parts on it with inferior equipment? I have had
a mechanics that always try to replaced my thermostat with an aftermarket
part. Within six weeks it malfunctions, EVERYTIME! They just don't work on
my truck. That is only one example. There are parts coming out these days
by conscientious manufacturers who recognize Toyota parts must be in spec or
they malfunction. Most of it is in driveline equipment though. I know some
of you will say that the Fram filters work just fine and so far it has, but
I am watching for signs of problems nevertheless.

They make a very inexpensive socket that fits your 3/8 ratchet. It fits the
end of the oil filter. I think I paid $3 for mine, no more busted knuckles.

If you don't like the PH3614 then you can change it out with a PH16. They have the same threads and gasket size. The PH16 just has about twice the cap.
