Crappy Denso 150-1003 oil Filters

Riad · 08-27-08, 02:23 PM

I thought I'd get a case of this and try'em out. I installed a pair of these both on my 80 and the wife's 04 4Runner. 1K Miles after this new filter, the 4Runner has now developed a mysterious oil leak and turned out it was leaking from the oil filter. I haven't check mine yet but I'm guessing it has the same problem. When I was ordering these I was telling myself that these are gonna cost me more than just pain

, oh well.... I am hoping it's just one that is defective; otherwise, I guess I'm gonna have to call Dan or get a case of Napa gold soon.

Hopefully that's an anomoly. Are those the same filters as the oem ones that everyone's after?

I'm tellin' ya Riad.....

Either go with the small Jap ones-- 20004 or go with the big ones--41010's....

You can't go wrong for the price and the product you are getting.

Best.

You right Onur. I guess I'm finding it out the hard way. I like the 15600-41010s. Guess need to get a case from some where.

that is too bad, I had thought DENSO was a quality name brand. Aren't they an OEM supplier?

I got a bunch of filters from cdan a while ago so it's just a no-brainer.

AFAIK, yes they are. But these particular DENSOs are "Made in Taiwan". Funny thing is, no where in the order link or product description it says that. After I opened the box I saw it and then I went
