    Composite expands less than aluminum.
    Aluminum has a higher thermal expansion

    All I know is like I explained...

    The Aluminum was easier to remove than the composite when I applied the same torque.

    Most likely the OEM is made of Delrin. Delrin has a better performance over aluminum in certain applications. Filter housing is one of them.

    I have the composite as a back-up.

    They both work the same...I just hope I never break these housing units...regardless.

    I've enjoyed this discussion.

    not as good of an idea. changing the oil warmed up ensures that contaminates are held in suspension, so they get out of the motor, where they can't cause damage.

    Sounds like there's a market for a 3rd gen tacoma Titanium oil filter housing wrench
    Or maybe Tungsten. Or inconnel.

    I guess I should rephrase “lost” to never had engine failure.

    Exactly.

    No need to rephrase.

    And the rest of us don't use a torque wrench because we know how to put the housing on and still get it off with ease and no leaks.

    Do you believe this? What about the gravity law?
    Please elaborate

    I had a plastic filter housing break on a Camry. I had to take another vehicle to Toyota about 30 miles each way to buy a replacement. Now the Camry and Tacoma have the aluminum alloy housings. Simply put, aluminum alloys typically have a higher tensile strength than plastic when shaped into the same form.

    Has anyone had the aluminum alloy version break?
