From: Built_Well on 1 Oct 2007 20:23 I'll probably stick with the stock, OEM air filter for the Camry, though I'll likely change out the stock oil filter for a Mobil 1 or Amsoil model--probably the Amsoil because the Mobil oil filter has rough threads, not as smooth as I had expected. I think the Amsoil oil filter is model Ea010 or Ea0010 IIRC. So I don't lose the info, I'm posting the specs for the stock Toyota OEM air filter: Air Filter for 4-cylinder LE: Model = ACV30 Part number = 17801-0H010 Production date = 0107-0602 Cost is $17 online from the Toyota parts web site ToyotaPartsAndService.com , which also provided the specs listed above. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

Why do the threads make any difference as long as the filter screws properly onto the engine ? Just put a couple drops of fresh oil on the threads (and the rubber gasket ring) before you install it.

Comparable filters from Mobil 1 and Pure 1 held 18 grams and 15 grams respectively. So, the AMSOIL filter held 17% more than the Mobil 1 and 40% more than the Pure 1. The AMSOIL also appears to have a little heavier construction." One nice thing about the stock OEM Toyota filter is the gasket comes pre-oiled, beneath a plastic cover. Some folks say the OEM Toyota filter is made by Purolator, which also makes the Pure 1 mentioned above. Fine filter. Like the OEM Toyota filter, the Mobil and Amsoil both have anti-drainback valves. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

My 1998 Sienna has 201,000 miles on it running Mobil 1 5W-30 and Purolator PurOne oil filters. Engine burns about half a quart of oil between oil changes (that average about 8000 miles) and the car delivers within 1 mpg of the best it ever did. I change my air filters about twice as often as Toyota recommends. I can afford to do that because I'm saving so much on oil filters. :-) Re. rough threads: the design of the gasket is far more important, IMHO.

Have you ever felt the need to use Techron Concentrate Plus in the gas tank? -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
