TW’s foremost authority and attention seeker just put out a new video.

No conversions to aluminum canisters and no conversion kits! Standing by for the gnashing and wailing.

 

My salesman told me you didn't have to change the filter until 300,000 miles.

 

Still using a coffee filter with great success.

 

#1 salesman at Toyota.

Mine said they just removed mine so I never have to worry about it

 

My grandpa used to do that, he would leave the coffee grinds in it so his oil smelled like coffee when he checked it. Man I miss him

 

Unfortunately the info pertaining to the cartridge oil filter bypass is incorrect. The bypass valve is located in the base below the center support tube, it IS NOT the coil spring. The spring action that allows the entire filter to move up and down allows for slight variances in filter height while keeping the filter assembly in place.

Well, my dad is a Toyota "mahsta tek" and he says this is BS

 

And many who think they are experienced don't know some of this stuff. I honestly didn't know there were different bypass spring pressures. I figured there was a standard pressure for all like safety valves on water heaters and such. I liked the video, but fast forwarded through many sections.

 

Isn't the best filter the one that works, fits, filters the oil, protects the engine and meets /or exceeds the manufacturer's specs?

 

As far as those bypass spring pressures, i'm not sure thats partly bs, as aftermarket oil filter manufactures would need to build their replacement filters to the toyota filter specs. in order not having any issues due to this. I could see a cheap chinese filter not being the correct spring pressure, but i'd bet the good name brand stuff is in the ballpark.

 

The coil spring shown in the video is NOT the bypass valve spring.

 

Even the oem filters Just seem like cheap pieces of shit. Especially when compared to Mahle filters for Euro brands.
They probably work fine but they just seem like they cost 30 cents to manufacture

 

I’d wager to say if a bypass valve gets activated the least of your issues is at which pressure. Because at that point you’re likely already experiencing catastrophic engine failure/damage

 

I thought this was settled on TW? https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/how-many-times-do-you-wipe-after-taking-a-dump.26938/

 

Nope, the bypass valve sits just above it…. The flat spiral flexure spring with the rivet in the middle.

 

yea, he really makes his videos way too long explaining simple things
