Syed Shah Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Some will say it is important and the stocker is vastly superior etc. In reality, it will be fine if not optimal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr keef Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 i used a halfords one and its been no problem,but others on the list didnt think it was a good idea,some said there oil went black straight away,mines still nice and clear,although im still gona get the toyota filter for when i do my next change:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Pattern filter form a known manufacturer will be fine. Fram is a reputable brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Personally the only filter i ever use is a Lexus LS400 one , even with the stock toyota filter the oil pressure does strange things lord knows what it does with a halfrauds one , still front seal replacement isnt that dear Dude:flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 i have used an halfords one before think its still on car and not been on too long with good oil. got a greddy oil relocating kit and a trd oil filter to put on when i get car back. also valvoline oil waiting too. dont v8 filters fit too?
