Oil filters

Can I use the canister filters that I have from my 12 with the 4.0?
Sorry being lazy!
2018 3.5 now.
I’ve seen where the canister will screw on and replace the element. Not sure it was Toyota’s.
I should just ask google.
My new to me ride.

 

No these are a plastic cartridge style filter. That's another downgrade from 2nd to 3rd gen in my opinion. You can't use the same filter. As far as I'm aware...

 

Yeah, you just have to hammer it on there a bit so it won't slide off.

 

Couple of threads on here about an adapter to spin on filter.

Cool thanks everyone

Don't forget the loctite

 

Is the question the same "filter element"...or the same "canister socket"? If its the socket, just put it on the canister and see if it fits.

 

And the rtv silicone. Be sure to use a High-Torque so it can't come loose when mall crawling.

 

I’ll have to use some rtv just using zip ties it leaked.

 

no the filter itself just got a half case for the 4.0. may end up getting the adapter.

 

Don't worry about the RTV, just screw it on and wrap the joint with FlexSeal tape.

 

Canister filters while a slight pain in the ass, it is good way to see if there are any metal fragments floating around in the engine. Old style you have to cut it apart to see.

Pros and cons to both styles.

 

Ya you can get the baxter, my main issue with it is the 250$ price tag. I can't really justify the expense for what you get.
