A little backstory. I bought the car in February and it was almost 4K over the recommended oil change on the windshield. I also drive on a lot of dirt roads. I’m already due for another oil change, if you’re interested I could send you that filter to see if there’s a change. I’ve also done a lot of maintenance and fixed a few vacuum leaks since then too. I’m also about to pull the AC Delco filter off my S10 farm truck with over 440K if you’re interested in that filter as well.
Hi Eric, I'd rather if you did a short OCI with a decent oil and then do a regular OCI with a good synthetic oil, and send me that filter. Oh and Thanks for the oil filters👍
Hi mileage car, normal to see all that amount of soot. My recommendation would to use oil with a lot of calcium (ex: High Mileage oil) and do the oil changes every 4K. Also, maybe a good oil flush before the next oil change would help remove a lot of suspended engine carbon.
How nice of Eric! Another thorough review. You do know your filters! Always learning more from You! Thanks for posting your educational videos pertaining to all kinds of filters! Have a Great Week, Cuz! 👍😊
3:40 Imperfect design in all its splendor!!! Dirt and soot absolutely DOES NOT KEEP in the outer petals of the filter, and, vice versa, through the bypass valve - it is sucked inside !!!
Hi Clyde, You're Welcome! I just looked up that year, and they are Nice looking pickup trucks. Hope you get a lot of good years with yours👍 www.carfax.com/Used-2000-Toyota-Tacoma_z3686
Looks like a good filter to me I think I'll stick with it! I have 23 Toyota Prius and change my oil between get in 3 and 5000. I know Toyota recommends 10,000 but that's way too much especially for a hybrid oil smells gassy and some have done testing Samples have 2.5% in them!
Another great video. I find it interesting that there aren’t any end caps on the filter and the pleat count is different with the new, exact same filter.
Thanks, Todd👍 The pleat count can be different, but I don't know why? I just got done with a video that will be shown next month, one filter had 46 Pleats and the other had 50 Pleats, the same size filter.
These Thailand ones dealers are selling are Denso OEM Toyota , made in Thailand starting in 2002, though I wish it was Denso Japan. Only recommended 3 months or 3K miles. They may hold up longer. Just quoting Toyota Denso.
Typical Toyota Thai Denso OEM no endcap type oil filter. When ISO tested, showed 50%@20microns. So, not very efficient. But, spin on type preferable imo to the cartridge Toyota used some newer Camries. Toyota went back to spin on some Camry engines.
Hi faxmen09, I think the spin is better also just because of the soot that was left on the inside of the can. Probably would have been left in the engine with the cartridge-type filter.
@@ChicagoRob2 Regardless, just reporting the facts on Toyota OEM filters. Independent ISO 4548-12 tests of some OEM filters sponsored by Amsoil is the citing reference source. If you're saying filter efficiency not important for Toyotas, different topic.
@@WhipCityWrencher Whip I just don't like the Rube Goldberg engine bottom Toyota cartridge design. Seeing as they went back to spin on on some, thinking owners felt similar.
When it comes to the Denso / Toyota oil filter topic, I'll always wonder if a standard Denso filter is even as close as 90% of being an OEM Denso filter for Toyota, but there's no way Denso would make a filter and sell it for $5.99 and that being the very same quality filter they're using at the dealerships.
That is a lot of carbon, has me wondering is it the oil which cleaned this much (kinda doubt) or the motor is just super carboned up to begin with which makes more sense given the mileage.
Hi, I'm also from Whip City! (provided it's the same one). My Toyota Matrix has almost 350k miles and uses the same filter. Why would anyone buy a Fram when they can get OE quality for $1-2 more?
I think the reason why it is sooty because the engine was never flushed out I recommend flushing a engine after 120K miles because usually it has a dark mark after an oil change after 100K miles and should be flushed after 120K miles. 🙂
They should use high mileage (HM) synthetic-blend or full synthetic HM oil after a vehicle reaches 75K miles. Those types of oils will have more Ester in it which reduces oil consumption and soot in the oil. 🙂
Nice inspection Whip. That much soot can be expected on a vehicle with that amount of mileage. It is good to see that some filter companies still put plenty of large holes in their center tubes. That is one downfall of the Fram Ultra Synthetic. The center tubes have very small holes and not near enough of them. Really hurts the performance of that pictulaar filter. I would not recomend if using a high volume oil pump.
How do you know? I had a '07 Matrix from new with the 1.8L 4Cyl. and It saw OEM Toyota filters only for 210K miles with semi-syn Motorcraft and Valvoline oil, changed at 3-5K miles religiously and it didn't burn any noticeable oil between changes. Have a '07 Highlander/V6 with 215K miles, same maintenance, maybe a 1/4 qt, between changes and an '03 4Runner/V8 with 155K miles, same maintenance, uses no oil. I'm pretty happy with that.
Tech Time With Eric, talks about these filters he sent me Check it out! th-cam.com/video/UdAVl9tVri0/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TechTimeWithEric
Just got this filter for my 09 Prius because it’s longer than what the Prius uses. Looks like a good filter
► Thanks For Watching! I try and make an oil filter inspection video every Friday on this TH-cam Channel, Thank You!
I also use an OEM Toyota filter on my 2006 Toyota Sequoia, currently with 218,364 miles. Oil change very 3,000 miles
Thanks for Sharing,
with 3K oil changes your engine should be nice and clean👍

My son actually has a Camry. Nice car. You always do a great, top-notch job Pete! TFS Happy Tuesday! Merri :)
Thanks, Merri👍
I hope your son's car keeps running great!
Have a great week😊
Thank you dear sir for pointing out the soot inside the oil filter can, glad to have learned so much from your "autopsy" videos.
You're Welcome👍

Hi Roberto,

Hey friend. Watching now. Happy Tuesday 👍
Thanks, friend👍
Good video Pete, he should be using a bottle or 2 of redline or some fuel additives at this point. That might reduce the dirt inside.
Thanks, John👍
I wonder how good the STP oil is?
As good as super tech, fram or Kirkland oil. Which all are decent
@@dennywires Thanks Dennis👍

7 am and there are already comments over 2 hours old. What time do you guys wake up! This is the early bird oil filter channel.
Maybe they don’t go to sleep or work graveyard shift 🤷♂️😏
LOL 😂👍
Great job Pete
Thanks, Dwayne👍
Seems very clean for 204,000
Thank you for your videos
You're Welcome Jensen👍
It is interesting how these Toyota filters are a can around a cartridge that is used by itself (in a reusable cover) on other Toyota vehicles.
Hi Jeff,
Yep, that's about what these filters are. 😊👍
These Thailand ones dealers are selling are Denso OEM Toyota , made in Thailand starting in 2002, though I wish it was Denso Japan.

Toyotas go 300K-400K miles on OEM filters. Blackstone reports for my 265K mile Camry, running OEM Denso filters, are flawless.

I would suggest a good engine and emission system clean - a better oil filter like a fram ultra and switch to a 5w30 oil like a castrol ultra clean !
Hi Scotty,
Thanks for the suggestion👍
Great video. Are Aluminum particles magnetic or just steel/iron? I know most modern engines have a lot of aluminum components so just curious. Thanks!
Hi Jim,
Scott beat me to your answer😊
Can a strong magnet to affect the operation of the bypass valve sir?
No, I dont think so
@@WhipCityWrencher thanks sir
@WhipCityWrencher is good on your opinion the magnet on oil filter?
@@DimoS... They do catch some metal, but it probably would be caught by the oil filter media anyways. So who knows?
Where are the soots and black particles came from ?
Engine combustion residue mixing with the oil.
@@tyh6243 maybe worn out engine or high mileage engine ?
I think it could be a few things, like a worn engine/rings, etc.. long oil changes, or just lousy oil
The engines probably all coked up with carbon and probably needs a good cleaning. Some ATS 505 would probably do the trick.
Lk166❤️🎶😂great job
Thank you 🤗
According to Amsoil’s study on filters the Toyota filters 50% at 20 microns 🤷🏻♂️ so yeah pretty crappy filters lol

Hi Doug,
Are you talking about the 1st filters that the Toyota dealers install on a vehicle, I've opened one or two and they look the same.
@@WhipCityWrencher I mean the OEM filters that are the first or the OEM you can get elsewhere
That is a lot of carbon, has me wondering is it the oil which cleaned this much (kinda doubt) or the motor is just super carboned up to begin with which makes more sense given the mileage.

Yikes! Never seen such soot in a gas engine filter before!
Weird how they are different lengths
Hi Jim,
Yep, one had 41 Pleats the other had 43 Pleats.
I just finished a future video where one filter had 50 and the other had 46 Pleats.
3:32...It seems That soot alpt of times gets caught in the metal endcaps as a catch can compared to the no endcap type.

Hi Kelly,
Thanks, I agree IMHO Fram could put a few more holes in their core.
Nice filter but he went way to far on the oil change
Yep, the car with the oil burner engine
