Oil Filter Change :(

What's a Baxter? The link doesn't work

 

I just tested the link and it works. Baxter is an adapter so that you can use a spin on filter.

I get "this site can't be reached" on the original link and your second one also.

 

That's weird. Just do a search for "baxter oil" posted by member "Dacon" and you'll find it.

You can also google "Baxter Performance" and should be able to find the product.

 

Wow..that's awesomeness!
I think wanna find 1 them..

Yeah I am not a fan of the oil filter setup so I'm currently going the Baxter re-route setup. So I'm building my own skids at double 3/16 so there heavy and I don't want to remove every time or make a stupid access port so I saw what Baxter makes and I'm sold. They are pricey though, I wwant to go the inverted spin on route so I had to buy 2 adapters at like $220 a piece, I can't remember the exact price.

 

While at the local dealership picking up an oil filter for my truck & cartridge for my wife's Camry I was griping about the cartridge to the parts guy and he said that Toyota was moving away from the cartridge in the next couple of years. Not sure how accurate this statement is but I'm hopeful he's right.

 

LOL! Mine too!

 

I use the exact same setup.
I run hoses from both to the drain pan and don’t spill a drop.
Works great and no mess.

 

parts guy doesn't know. he knows less than the service writers

 

Take her to the service dept. and eat more cookies! LOL!

 

I just did my oil this weekend as I'm over 25k. I could not get the drain part to come off so I had to take off the entire assembly. I couldn't figure out that stupid tab but it sure didn't do anything I could spin the filter right off.

We have an 08 Highlander that has the same exact filter that has no stupid tab. I have been installing it hand tight for over a hundred thousand miles.

What's the deal on that tab? I search YouTube trying to figure out how in the world you take that thing off and couldn't figure it out. It did not prevent the filter from spinning off. Maybe the dealer really didn't do much with it at the last oil change.

 

Looks like this TS-101 is the perfect item.
Approx $200 USA, which will be close to $400 candian with exchange, duty,and shipping
That bites.
Awesome product though..

While I do like working on my own stuff most of the time, for the most part, I have found that I also enjoy my time and less mess and its usually worth the extra $10-$15 to have someone else change the oil. I drive a lot so its happening several times a year.

 

Cartridges can be great when they are done right. BMW has been using them with remote housings for a long time, and you can change the filter from the engine bay (with the engine full of oil, if you want) without losing a drop of oil. Using a cartridge on the bottom of the engine is just a train wreck.

 

Did you get the short or long nipple Fumoto?

 

meh, the 4 runner has had the cartridge and bottom of the engine location since 2010.
I can change these filters without spilling a drop of oil. Take your time and empty the canister of oil before removing it. And don’t tighten it too much.

Toyota had to relocate the filters on the GR series when the VVTI was added to the exhaust valves taking up top end real estate.

 

Short. Not sure I have a strong opinion on either.
