I run the napa gold and have for years without issue. not sure if it is "oem" spec but I would think it is just as good.

NAPA gold filter is a WIX filter. Very good quality filter. -M.

Mac-One of these on my FJ60 and FJ40 right now. I run them when I'm out of the Toyota "big" filter. They have a great reputation, and seem very nicely made. Make sure to use the Napa "Gold" and not the Silver.

My general take on 2Fs is that they don't reallly care about fuel quality, oil quality or oil filters. They just run and get the job done, slowly.

ask napa about a master pack filter




gold filter @ silver price

Here it goes..

I buy my filters at Wal Mart. Yup, good old Wal Mart brand. And guess what? They have an astonishingly high first pass efficiency rating, higher than any other filter I have seen, a neoprene back flow valve and have a high amount of filter media. And of course there is the price, about $2.00. Can't beat that.

Clueless on that one chief, but I can guess. After swapping to a Chevy motor, I ended up with the same filter on a remote setup mounted to the driver's side fender enroute to the oil cooler.

Just to cap this thread:

Wal-Mart filters (super tech) are made by Champion Labs in the USA.

use the NAPA gold filter or wix filter, good quality. Or go get the yota brand. THe most important this is to change teh filter and oil at regular intervals.
