Over priced dude! A better filter for less money in the large size is a Baldwin b2 hpg. Baldwin doesn’t fool around and besides being industrial grade, this filter has very good stats. You could write Toyota on it if that would make you feel better.![]()
Baldwin 7977 in my ISB5.9 fir years with great results and the same with the B2 hpg oil filter on my cruiser. The Cummins gets a Donaldson oil filter.i hope there car filters are better than their truck filters. we've had fuel filter issues too many times on internationals, so our shop won't touch baldwin and a mobile tech that frequents the shop has had multiple baldwin oil filters that split down the side.
Was the report in all caps? His doesn’t necessarily mean the sky is falling. Did they not recommend sending another sample in a shorter period of time for a recheck now that you filter has been replaced? It may take a couple changes to flush the system clean.I received my Blackstone analysis back today. It was disheartening to say the least.
The sample had a shade under 5000 miles on it. The results indicated 'excess piston and steel wear' against the average for comparable vehicles, with traces of aluminum and iron in the oil.
I would not consider that condemning, except I have a Blackstone report from September 2016 off a 6500 mile sample that states "There's barely any wear at all in the sample, and definitely less than we normally see from these engines."
I have an extra engine on a stand in my garage, so going to start the rebuild process on that and initiate dialogue with WIX about paying for the cost of a rebuild as previously the motor was clearly in excellent shape. I am glad to have clean empirical third-party data indicating an internal problem, but would prefer to not be in this situation at all.

Just put a Wix on both my Lexus and my parents’ 100. We change every 3-4K though so hopefully no issues before I can get OEMs. Luckily both these engines take the same one.
As a side note, I think the Napa Gold filters are just Wix. I compared them side by side and the design and the numbers and crap on the bottom were identical.

Glad I stocked up on these...View attachment 1642938
That link is redirecting to the newer 90915-YZZD3 filter.
