merckx Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Has anyone bought the Lexus V8 oil filter recently? - 90915-20004 In the States it's been discontinued and replaced by 90915-YZZD3 which I've heard isn't quite so good. The TRD red filters aren't cheap, I'm not sure if they're worth the extra money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 Lexus filters...Really guys....why? They're supposed to be good quality , they use them on the Lexus V8. An approvement on the standard Supra filter and not as expensive as other alternatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An approvement on the standard Supra filter and not as expensive as other alternatives. Better quality? I thought it was because they were meant to be larger? I've never had any problems with Fram and I know of others that swear by them. I can't stand paying dealers for sundry items like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Rob_ Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 i know i know.. My reasoning is that when i got the Supe, the first oil change i did, i got my filter from toyota and was 'impressed' with how the filter looked. Looked big and good quality. Then next time i went, toyota had stopped doing this filter. I can now only get it from the lex garage. Its still boxed and branded as toyota, but is the part no. for the V8 lex engine.

paul mac Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I've never had any problems with Fram and I know of others that swear by them. I can't stand paying dealers for sundry items like this. beware of these "cheap" filters i once bought one and it had a great big lump of swarf (steel) in the top of the filter, it went straight in the bin and since then i have only used genuine Toyota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 £22 (Envy) for a TRD oil filter is hardly expensive. Worth it imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 The Lexus filter uses exactly the same filter medium as the stock filter, it is just a slightly bigger filter. Substitute filter are not as good, they use an inferior filter medium. Having cut up several non stock filters it is easy to see the difference.
