Oil Filter FJ40 (2 Viewers)

[BFJ62]

Have checked the threads and found some recs but inquiring what oil filters folks are using these days. Need to change the oil on my 75 FJ40. Specifically, has anyone had any experience good or bad with this Denso filter available thru Cruiser Corps? Other recommendations?

it's a filter, made by/for toyota, doesn't leak and fits the 2f.
i get them off amazon 20couple bucks and free shipping for 5 or 6 of them.

Superior Filter IMO

I use the same filter, on both FJ40 and 100 series Cruiser V8 with 194,000 miles.

There’s a larger OEM filter (don’t recall part #) but it’s either very hard to find or discontinued altogether....
So I’ve used the one you listed with no issues - it also fit my Tacoma!

Wix has been touted as a top of the line general use filter. Stay away from Fram. As Imyahucklbrry mentioned, the larger filters will be less likely to clog and bypass.

I have switched to using the wix ... nice and big ... like the toyota filters used to be

Toyota is not like your buying a Japanese filter from the homeland ... it’s made in Thailand

Large OEM Toyota filter: 15600-41010 (hard to find)
Denso: 150-2066
Baldwin: B2
Wix: 51515
Donaldson: P550008

Just to name a few of the big can filters.

My understanding is that Napa gold filter 1515 is the same as the wix 51515 filter. I just picked up three the other day. I think they were around $7 a piece.

Search on the 80 section for all the issues people have had with Wix as of late. Several blown motors after full loss of oil pressure. Something about the drain back valve disentigrating and clogging the filter. I'd just stick with whatever filter Toyota will sell you at the counter.

Be my guess that those there hard to find Toyota large filters are in plentiful supply on a shelf in your nice new garage!
*Probably why the rest of us can’t find any?

I have about 150 of the “big” filters in stock and available.... I bring in about 20 a month directly from Japan.

No sir, but it is supposed to be very-very similar to the 15600-41010. I use the Baldwin B2 or the 41010, and will spin on a B2 come March.

 

[Spike Strip]

I use the B2's too

Lol,
I think that baldwin B2 will fit almost every Ford and Chrysler engine made from 1962 to 1983....
they are also fits on Allis Chambers tractors,Caterpillars Kenworth,Mack,Peterbilts, Western Stars, Volvos as well.
