I am not going to list this thread to start another 'this brand is better than that brand' - all I wanted to know is what SIZE filter do you use (and what not to use!)

Example: In this example I will use 'Fram' because they are so widely know. For a 22RE, I know Fram calls for a PH3614 stock. However I know that a PH16 and a PH8 also work. Do you run the larger filters to provide more filtering/oil cooling? Or do you stick with the stock size?

Thanks!

I run a normal size filter. I go with car quest premium because its basically like oem replacement. I know you dont care to hear about what filter is better but when i switch from a fram that came on my truck when i bought it to car quest filters, my engine ran quieter and i noticed a little more pressure on the gauge.

this seems like a oversize filter oil thread.

dont use fram

Well, I know that there are many bad things Fram has against it. I just wondered what size was being used by the masses. Yes, it is a 'Oversized Filter' thread - however initially, I couldn't think of the proper term to use to do a search - so I decided to throw out the fishing line and see what I got.

Please don't think I won't take recommendations for this filter brand is better. I just didn't want people to think I was starting another 'What brand filter is best....' and break out the stick to





I had to throw this one on cause it was rockin!

I run the tundra v8 one on my 22r. Holds more oil and i use a factory filter for the one way valve. The reason id say dont run anything other then factory is they have a valve to keep all the oil from running out i have been told. on start up it keeps the chain from slapping the timing cover and killing it. I noticed my starts in the morning to be quiet compared to anything else. My oil also takes longer to get dirty. The last few changes have been really clean and not as much muck in the pan. The filter is black tho so im sure its doing its job.

Is the Tundra V8 a 1/2 or 1 quart filter? Do you just order off the net or go physically to your Stealership and get one? I was just curious about pricing for them.

Thanks!

I just did an oil change on my 86 sr5 with a 22re. I had a Ph3614 on it and was running GTX 10W30. I was running into some oil problems on start up. I got a better filter then the Spam 3614. It =a PH16 and got some 10W40. I drained the old oil and it was as black as hell. When I took off the old fram I was waiting for oil to go all over the place. Well the damn thing was empty. There was oil in the paper but nothing drained out.This tells me that when I was shuting it off that the oil was draining back into the pan And or it was just bypassing the filter. I will never buy another Fram product again.

I run a remote with a PH8. I got tired of removing my skid plate and spilling oil everywhere. I still have to make a shield for it, for obvious reasons. I think the added lines, filter size and volume provide some extra cooling.

Hey, James

You did get oil rated hose, didn't you? That looks similar to heater hose (not rated for oil or hi pressure) Just don't want you or others to blow a hose and ruin an engine.

$6 from the dealer. vs $4 (fram) which is a measly $2 over 3 or 6 months...

Holds around 1/3 qt, and has more filter media that most other crappy filters, which means better filter density, better oil system priming = better bearing longevity.

It is oil rated. Actually 300psi and 500 degrees. I thought the same thing when I saw that it was red. I doubled checked when I bought it.
