Oil Filters for 1HZ/1PZ/1HDT/1KZ/2LT....etc.

That's some fancy s*** you have sitting on your bench behind it. And a lime wedge??? Not just a dirty lucky can?






Back to oil filters, couple years ago I bought a 6 pack from tpd for my 12ht. Worked out to 19.xx a piece. Which was better than the 40 something they wanted for a Wix filter here.

Just checked the price and it's now 30 bucks each.

So your six pack is gone…

Think I have one left. If they're that much now, maybe I'll just buy at the dealership or something, unless I find a deal on a case of a different version.


Kegs are better than 6 packs in every measurable way.

I think I'm down to 4-5 from my last big shipment. I'll still just reorder, still cheaper than local and
might as well keep the Toyota logo

I've been doing quite a dig here, and so far the only thing I've found under 40 bucks is that TPD $30, and a luberfiner that's cheaper but not local.

So yeah. Tpd is the leader at the moment.

Napa is apparently $64

Online auto in aus has the Sakura ones. I haven't played with shipping yet. But their tcase kits are half the price they are here, so I could do a bigger order.

I have a friend in Vancouver who has accounts as he is a mobile mechanic. Let me run the numbers by him, and see if I
can get a price over there. He gets ridiculous prices. Be back on it, let you know

Yup, triple stick paper weight! Lime-page out of Bradford's book--hard liquor!

This is the message that I was actually here to reply to.

I have done cut aways of most of the filters I have advertised for sale on my onlie store. The quality of all of them is decent, but not the same type of contruction as the Toyota branded filters. A few people commented on pricing - importing and storing parts is expensive. I do my best to keep prices reasonable and most of my prices have been very steady for quite a few years now generally with few large increases in cost unless the supplier cost has jumped up a lot (many engine and gasket parts have done this).

Here are three different cut aways.

The Sakura and the Wix are made in the same factory, and have the same construction. The Sakura version has a few more pleats on one of the two elements. Wix costs more to buy at the supplier level and costs more at the retail level as a result even with lower margin. Plus the name... Wix has a good name in filtration and it's popular.

The JS Askashi Filter is currently my favorite of these 3 (4 if you consider Baldwin) brands. It has a larger relief valve (they are all quite small, but adequate), and it has the nicest bypass valve - these are subjective statements as I have not performed any testing on these.

I have cut away a used Baldwin 7029, and it is very similar to these ones with a slightly thinner can. No photos at this time.

I have no way of testing the filtering ability of these filters.

I another thread someone mentioned using a stainless steel oil filter - these are not as effective as decent paper filters as dirt has to weave its way through the paper matrix and in doing so these trap considerably more dirt than a metal mesh.
