Prefered Oil filter for an F2 (2 Viewers)

[vt0u812]

So I'm sure some will say "the cheapest one that fits" - but I'm curious what some think about an appropriate brand for the conditions.
I'm looking @ bosch - Fram - wix.... Seems like the Toyota one is shorter now (not sure if some still only stick with this one regardless?)

Either the stock Toyota or the Wix here .

I recall ready a recommendation for a Napa gold one that is made by wix. I use those big boys on both my 60 and my forty. The specific model # is escaping me, I think it's maybe like 5050 or 5015. Quick search should clear it up. Hope this helps

anyone else???

honestly, anything that screws on that hole will do a good enough of a job.
this is a low reving low stress engine, not a high tolerance, high reving race engine.

Wix #51515 if I remember correctly - it cross references to the Fram PH8A big filter . Have used that size for years for the standard 3/4-16 thread nipple on most engines from Chrylser down to my old Samurai running in stock configuration and later with a remote filter . Excellent filter and on smaller engines/pans adds a lot of capacity .

anyone else???

To each, their own...basically as @brian stated above.

I'm not advocating any brands or model numbers regarding this subject, but these are what I use. The oil & filter were recommended by the engine builder.

I use a Napa platinum oil filter. It's the same size as the big Toyota filter, and it has a very advanced filter media inside of it.

 

[Cruiserdrew]

Napa Gold 1515 is the closest to the old "big" Land Cruiser filter. And even though it's a Wix filter, it's usually less expensive than the identical Wix filter.

Last spring the Napa GOlds were on sale for 1/2 price and I bought a bunch.

Either a Wix 51773 (bigger version of the 51515) or factory. I buy them in bulk.

Rock Auto sells the original big nice Denso oil filter that IS the original big Toyota filter.

The venerable Toyota 90915-YZZD3 oil filter is officially used in the following vehicles:

Sequoia
Tacoma
4Runner
Tundra
FZJ80 & 100 Series Land Cruiser

Their application list doesn't go back far enough to include their dinosaur LCs.
Certainly it would be fine for a 2F.

 

[cruiserfj45]

I figure technology wise the D3 is superior to the dinosaur filter that originally came on our Cruisers. The Tacoma and 4Runner use the 90915-YZZD1 but I use the D3 because it is the same size base.

 

[Uzjgaspowered]

I run 90915-YZZD3. On my 78 fj40.
I like its OEM look.

Which oil are you using?

Listen to @FJ40Jim on this subject...

 

[GA Architect]

Anybody ever used the Toyota 90915-TD004 filter?

 

[woytovich]

@FJ40Jim sez:

No, not the little OEM filter.
The BIG Wix 51773 filter for dump truck & forklift application.

and

For a mid-life 2F my recommendation is cheap 15W40 diesel oil and a small bottle of Zinc additive.
Use the big Wix filter.
Change once a year or 5000miles.
Oil brands don't matter much, since they are all rated CJ or SN.

I'm pretty sure the LOOK of an oil filter is not relevant to its functionality...

Glad u jumped in with the correct number... I new there was a 5 and/or 1 in there somewhere...My darn lesdixia is acting up!

The Wix 51773 is prolly the 'best' filter (10 micron filtration vs. 30u for stock) but it is quite tall vs. stock.

Baldwin / Hastings make equivalent filters to the 51773.

But really, for a 2F, any top-tier filter (Bosch, Wix, Purolator, Denso, Motorcraft, etc.) will be fine. More important is proper zddp level oil and frequent changes.
