kill1308 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hi peeps, Sorry to ask a dumb question, but I did a search and couldn't find anything specific to what I wanted to know. I'm changing the oil on my car to Silkolene Pro S 10w50 from Opie but I have a question about the oil filter. Mine Supra a 1996 JDM spec 2JZ-GTE, so when I try and order a filter online, I've only found ones for UK spec 93-96. I've also found 2 different kinds from the same place... http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Toyota_Supra_3.0_1996/p/Car-Parts/Engine-Parts/Filters/Oil-Filters/?501120020&1&40f9f2b65d7a605629c070ca799cc16fb1268a92 http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Toyota_Supra_3.0_1996/p/Car-Parts/Engine-Parts/Filters/Oil-Filters/?501590020&1&ffaac20bd50744bf2cb067fd8701116251a505ff Can someone please help me out as to which one to get? Or if these are the wrong kind, point me in the right direction. Thanks very much and sorry for the stupid question. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I just give my Toyota dealership the chassis number and engine number, and they get me an OEM filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your car a UK Spec or JDM? Can Toyota UK find a Jap Chassis number? I always thought they'd just tell me to pee off as it was an import.

Andy-No-Knee Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 They may have used to but now with the large numbers of imports they see it as yet another way to rip us off with parts charges. Personally I use a TRD filter, same filtration but better flow. I got mine from Envy but you can get them from Whifbitz too I'm sure as well as any Jap performance company (ie in Japan like http://www.takakaira.co.jp/ ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kill1308 Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 Ok guys thanks, I think in the first instance I'll try Toyota directly as they are only about 10 miles from my house. Thanks for your help James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 iirc there wasn't a huge price difference for oil filters for JDM or UK spec, I've bought both from my local Toyota dealer for about £8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kill1308 Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 I've also been reading that people use Lexus V8 filters? Are these ok to use? Just curious really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I use a Crosland 637 on my NA track car. It's about 4 times the size of the original filter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I not 100% sure but when I had my service at Garage WhiftBlitz I think Paul put on a K&N Oil Filter? I didn't even know they did oil filters, only air filters. Unless what I saw was an fuel filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I've also been reading that people use Lexus V8 filters? Are these ok to use? Just curious really. I've been using them for years.

It's the first non-Supra oil filter I've handled in 10 years so I'd built up a certain expectation of quality I suppose It amazes me that with such a high quality filter for £8, and genuine parts as well, people still ask if "this one off ebay is any good, only it's £5 so well cheaper" -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS2004 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Sorry to resurrect this but I have a "newb question" as I have never changed oil.. When doing an oil change do I replace the filter? Its a 94 Jspec N/A. IanC quoted these part numbers: Lexus oil filter 90915-20004 Sump washer 90430-12031 The sump washer - going to get that as I assume its also wise to replace this part. Is that filter fine for the N/A? I have a feeling the answer to both of these is "yes, change them" but id rather double check Thanks!

Paul Whiffin Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I not 100% sure but when I had my service at Garage WhiftBlitz I think Paul put on a K&N Oil Filter? I didn't even know they did oil filters, only air filters. Unless what I saw was an fuel filter. Yep, it was a K&N oil filter, again with K&N quality one of the best filters around and way cheaper than any Jap offerings. £9.68 + VAT, we use them on all our race cars.
