Air Filter replacement question...

How many on here used another OEM or used another brand (Fram) ?

 

I’ve got a Wix filter in mine.

 

Been using Fram oil filters and air filter for as long as I’ve had a vehicle and even before that my dad used them. As long as you replace it in a timely manner I don’t see a problem with them. Oil filter every 5,000 miles and I’ll normally just pop the air filter out and if it looks dirty I replace it.

 

I will only use OEM or Wix (NAPA Gold). Your engine will not implode if you use Fram, Puralator, K&N, but (this is my opinion) the workmanship I have noticed from using all other filters, OEM and Wix appear to be superior. Oil filters as well.

 

Wix only! Go to YouTube and search fram filters. Once you see what's inside the filter you will never use a fram oil filter again.

 

OEM works fine

 

i have a k&n CAI

 

been getting mine at the dealer for a couple years now..no issues

 

I have an aFe direct OEM replacement filter in the stock air box. I decided against a full on CAI, since it won't really gain any performance benefit on a naturally aspirated engine above a high flow type filter (such as K&N, aFe) in the stock air box. I previously used an aFe "home made CAI" type intake on my Dodge Cummins, and that did make a difference on that engine, being it was turbo charged

 

Don’t need one, that’s like your Tacoma having an asthma.. let her breathe..

 

I’m using K&N cabin air filter

 

OEM made in USA and 3 layers of filter media

 

As long as your carrying a warrenty use a toyota filter and keep the reciept. Mark on the reciept when changed and the mileage. You can also log in to your toyota website and log the maintainance.

 

I used a fram oil filter and sent in a UOA and according to the undesolved solids was 0.4 and the average is 0.6. So I see nothing wrong with them. To each his own
