    Does anyone have specs for oil pump psi and GPM, any regulator, etc., for the 4.0 L in a 2011?

    Reason I ask is that I have an unused "Spinner II" Model 25 Centrifuge Oil Filter that I'd originally intended to install in a diesel truck that I used to own, but never got to it before selling the truck (just as well, since I sold the truck).

    I like that the centrifuges filter down to the tiniest particles that a flow-through filter will never, ever catch.

    But in diverting flow to the c-fuge for its small-flow "bypass filtration," I would not want to starve the engine of its main oil flow.

    I like my 2011 Tacoma SO well that I see myself wanting to keep it for many years and many, many miles, so extra filtration is a good thing.

    Thanks!

    If anyone knows of a spot on the engine, pan, etc., that could be a large diameter "drain return" from the centrifuge, that'd be great also. If there were a little more clearance around the oil fill neck I would probably try fab up an adapter and put it right there, but I am not sure that there is enough lateral room. Thanks!
