Geo Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 as above, stock ones. But you can go for the bigger lexus filter, holds a little more oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashbuster Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/parts/toyota_filter/index.html i went with that filter too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Sweet!! thanks for that link Geo Does anyone have the part numbers for the Lexus v8 oil filter? i know its in the pics but thats from the states so might differ from UK same part number bud. How does that help? Using a bigger oil filter increases the volume of oil available to the engine and increases the filtration, i've always used larger oil filters on my Supra. i went with that filter too can i ask why bud?

Kirk Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Opie oils also sell fuel filters ect too. I bought my last stock of MAHLE filters direct from Opie. Slightly cheaper than stock but probably end up costing you the same with postage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 stock filter or a K&N bud, it don't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 They most important thing with the air filter is to keep the stock feed and filter box, unless you know how to fit a decent cold air ducting system and heat barrier for an aftermarket non-panel filter. Again, unless you know why you need a K&N or whatever, then you probably don't need it. Too many people fit mushroom filters thinking they're better (usually becasue their mates told them that), but they usually result in less power due to the filter pulling in warm air from the engine bay. I don't trust anyone else more than Toyota to make a decent filter for a supra. I'm guessing they spent more on R&D to find the sweet spot on a Toyota 2JZ engine of non-restrictive flow vs effective filtration than K&N did. Lexus oil filters have been debated on here before, in particular in this thread: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?260671-Oil-filter.

Stock airbox with a panel filter is much better than an aftermarket filter just in the engine bay (and cheaper, if you still have the stock setup), unless you make a cold air box and feed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersonic Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 i ve heard its better with a mushroom and i did have one on my cupra which did make a difference i jus wanted to know if it was the same on the supra?? if the stock is better then i ll just replace the filter with a new one!!?? Something that hasn't been mentioned yet is that the HKS mushroom filter is (usually) a 200mm round filter that's bent into the mushroom shape by the guard, which means that not only is it exposed to heat in the engine bay but it is actually smaller than the stock JZA80 panel filter area wise, this is probably why the 300ZX HKS kit uses two of them.
