These apparently filter better, but how much better? Do they do anything else better? Last longer, better anti-drainback valve, better oil flow in gallons per minute? (these should be taken as sincere questions, not sarcastic comments or challenges) Are they better than say a Mobil 1 extended performance filter? I usually use the large 41010 or the Mobil 1 filter. The main/recurring issue that I have experienced over the years is that the antidrainback valves seems to stop working (on just about any cruiser) somewhere around 6-7K miles and then I start getting more start-up rattle than when the filter is new.
I read through some of this thread, so if I missed it, I apologize in advance; just looking for facts and trying to get educated, not stoned by the crowd.

If nothing else, it makes you "feel" better, knowing these are the filters that Cdan uses.
I'm not actually sure if these are the ones he uses....he might be a 41010 fan....not sure....
I like the bigger 41010 filters (which are hard to get from anyone but Dan as well).
And Harry--yeah, feel free to buy 200 of them. I'll start packing them tomorrow....

Last I heard, Dan uses the old style "big" filter. He also drinks Keystone beer and is so tight he squeezes a nickle 'till the buffalo farts. However, he is more than happy to bring in these from Japan and sell us the "good" filters. I still have a case but now I have 3 vehicles that use this filter so I will pick up another case or two next week.

+ the 1 filter I owe you...charge it to my account.....the one filter, not the twenty.

On the way there
Regarding these -20004 filters; one of our guys just bought a new Tacoma V-6. We were giving it the once over and the oil filter is a -20004 from the factory. Does this mean Toyota is going to put them in regular stock again?
For all of you 90915-20004 junkies, look what arrived today at American Toyota....
evidently, these are Dan's private stash, what makes you think he plans to sell those...?
I'm surprised he even let you take a pic of them... weren't they locked up?

No, it does not.
The 90915-20004 is the factory-installed filter. The US supply filter is the 90915-YZZD3.
As far as I know I am the only dealer in the US that stocks the 90915-20004.
99% of the population buys on price, not quality, and the 90915-20004 costs twice as much as the 90915-YZZD3, therefore TMS USA chose to use the 90915-YZZD3 as the replacement part.
I use these filters along with M1 extended oil for a 15k change cycle. Since I consume 1 quart for every 5k I drive, it's 1 filter + 10 quarts of oil.
I did do an oil analysis on the first run and Blackstone stated I could have gone further on the oil and that was with just a single filter for the whole 15k.
