It is possible, however none of these cases was after a long interval. Both cases were pretty new filters. I know that they issued a notice after this happened not to use on the Land Cruiser.
It might have been specific to the 1FZFE oil routing. What happened is when the oil pressure spiked, the oil pressure bypass safety popped and then you had no oil pressure.
Except the motors they supplied were really low cost rebuilds with aftermarket parts. One of them subsequently blew a head gasket and the engine builder would not cover it.
These cases were early 2010, so could have been old stock. However our cases were not related to clogged filters.
Thanks Christo
Not trying to speak for Christo, but read post #16 last sentence and you get your answer.
I agree with him 100%. No aftermarket company is going to know the vehicle design and performance better than Toyota for all things related to reliability and maintenance.
If you stick with Mr. T parts, you can never go wrong.
Oil filter question
I recently purchased some Toyota oil filters PN 90915-YZZD3 they were less than 5.00 each. They don't have the TEQ sticker, they do have a small Toyota sticker. Made in Thailand, first question are these the correct filter for my 100, perhaps I ordered the wrong PN.
Second, Q am I mistaken about the TEQ on my last batch? they were for the 80. Price seems to good, am I looking for problems where none exist?

They will work fine.
The ones that end in 20004 are the Denso made in Japan factory ones, however. Beno should be your go-to source as a case of 10 is just over $85 IIRC.
Thank You, The ones I ordered are 4.05 per, I was trying to fill a medium flat rate box so I have quite a few of them.
Just wanted to confirm the P/N before having a issue during oil change.
Toyota oil filters have a check valve to make sure oil is available on start-up and a larger surface area than most. A parts guy at the dealer told me about the check valve years ago, I've not verified this check valve statement.
That said; I use EP M1 synthetic oil filters just because they are free with 5 qts of MI oil. They've seemed ok over last 30k miles, but I change every 3 to 5K miles not the 15K it's rated for along with EP MI oil. I always used Toyota filters before these free MI's and have not notice any difference on start-up sounds, mpg, oil appearance or anything else.

I'm aware of how the PM system here works. After bumping this thread I also PM'ed Beno and quickly received an answer to my question.
The reason I bumped this and asked what I did is so my fellow Toyotans can learn about this awesome oil filter.
