stevie_b Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 When doing an oil change do I replace the filter? Yep. On any car, the filter should be changed whenever the oil is changed. It's also a good idea to change the sump washer: might not be necessary, but for the price of it it's not worth sweating over. A new one should give you a good seal on the sump bolt.

hadyn Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Always used a stock toyota oil filter on my j-spec TTs. Never had any oil problems etc at all running these filters. I just went into my local Wolverhampton Toyota dealer (a place where there are no supras and few nice cars ) and gave them the chasis number and they sorted out the rest, no issues. I wouldnt use anything but OEM filters on my cars tbh, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethr Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) The story is that Toyota originally supplied filters which were made in Japan - 90915-20003 for the JZs (and 90915-20004 for the V8). Then they started supplying filters which are made elsewhere (Thailand or the USA, I think) with different part numbers (90915-YZZD1 for the JZs). Supposedly, the original Japanese-made filters were better. The JZ filters (90915-20003) are no longer available (except in Japan perhaps?), but Lexus can still supply (at least they did a few months ago) the slightly larger V8 filter (90915-20004). I'm sure I heard that the TRD filters are the same as the original 90915-20003 Toyota filters. Anyone know if that's true?
