merckx Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Yes it does, suppose to be a better filter Toyota/ Lexus Oil Filters - 90915-20004 vs. 08922-02011 The oil filter (90915-20004) is the V8 Lexus oil filter that will fit the supra perfectly, its used on Lexus V8 engines, it was recommended over the stock toyota supra filter ( 08922-02011). The V8 Lexus oil filter is made in Japan and comes greased up and sealed for clean installation, you don't find that on the supra stock filter, also the V8 Lexus oil filter holds a higher capacity of oil and have a larger filtering area, also the filtering material on V8 Lexus oil filter 'looks' superior to the traditional filtering material on supra stock.

Terminator Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I have used these on my car they are fine, material is the same just much more of it. The american stock filters are different if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Is it worth it if changing the oil every 3000 miles? Or would a crappy filter do as the oil won't be getting dirty anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondjump Posted October 18, 2004 Author Share Posted October 18, 2004 For only a few quid more the lexus filter looks superior to the standard one. If it promotes a more efficient way of cleaning oil, particularly to those people running silkolene 10w50 synthetic who maybe changing every 6k or so, then it seems sensible to use it.

tbourner Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Well I'm 'only' using Mobil1, and I'm changing every 3000 miles. But that's my point surely the regular changes mean a good filter is pretty unnecessary. I see what you mean though it's only a few quid!!

dude Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Allthough i use these its worth noteing that on supraforums there was a thread about the oil light staying on for a split second on start up , concensus was that it was due to not using the stock filter , most of the guys were using the Lexus version !!!!

Trev, the way i see it is .........contaminants are a constant problem and a better filter will hopefully remove much finer particles.

MONKEYmark Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 what about a TRD oil filter? i have one to stick on my car are they any better than stock filters and what they like against a v8 filter change my oil every 15,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Poses an interesting question Monkey.. I change my oil every 3000 with TRD filter last 3 times but they are quite expensive. Been using Valvoline Syn Power 5-50. Now is this overkill; you say you change yours every 15000??? Fifty:innocent: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith Adopter Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Why particularly for those running 10 50 silkoline as opposed to valvoline 5 50?? I don't understand is the 10 50 less protective? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand is the 10 50 less protective? The pro 10 50 silkoline is said to be better (ask oilman for technical breakdown) and should be good for 6000+miles depending on mods etc. I did change oil more frequent than this but will run for longer on the silkolene therefore i like the idea of using a good filter as a partner to this.

Mike M Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Thread ressurection at it's best. I fitted one of these V8 filters thinking great it's bigger & better but someone asked me how do I know if the filter's internal relief valve is suitable for the 6 cylinder since it was designed for a V8. It could be set to a lower pressure and allowing the oil to by-pass the filter. Anyone know for sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Good point, sorry i don't know the answer though, personally i don't know why the big thing about filters, and oil for that matter, i use a Shell semi synth and Blueprint filters, and they Japanese made, probably from the same factory and to the same spec as the genuine Toyota and TRD ones for that matter, don't want to pay £30-40 a time for oil that i'm going to chuck every 3,000 mls;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Internal relief valve? I've not seen anything that looks mechanical in one of them, and who'd have a *filter* bypass valve anyway? Wouldn't that be daft? (willing to be told differently) -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Internal relief valve? I've not seen anything that looks mechanical in one of them, and who'd have a *filter* bypass valve anyway? Wouldn't that be daft? (willing to be told differently) -Ian Relief (By-Pass) Valve. In a full flow system, all the oil passes through the filter to reach the engine. If the filter clogs, an alternative route to the engine must be provided for the oil, or the bearings and other internal parts may fail, due to oil starvation. A relief, or by-pass, valve is used to allow unfiltered oil to lubricate the engine. Unfiltered oil is far better than no oil at all. This relief (by-pass) valve is built into the engine block in some cars. Otherwise, the relief (by-pass) valve is a component of the oil filter itself. Under normal conditions, the valve remains closed. When there is sufficient contaminant in the oil filter to reach a preset level of pressure differential to oil flow (around 10-12 PSI in most passenger cars), pressure differential on the relief (by-pass) valve caused it to open. This condition can occur when the oil filter has become clogged or when the weather is cold and the oil is thick and flows slowly. Little bit of bumff from this link. http://www.theautochannel.com/e_about/filters.html What do we have on ours? Found a better link with dismantled pics, they all seem to mention an internal relief valve. Mind you they are for a 5.0 ltr ford engine so I dont know if they are all fitted with this or not. http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilterstudy.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 External on the Supra, ie not in the oil filter, was looking at the schematic of the oil route the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
