Hello All!

When I had my Saturn, I discovered that there were about a half a dozen
aftermarket filters that would fit. Two of which were larger in capacity
and filtration area.

Are all filter bosses on the engine blocks the same, regardless of
engine size? I've got a 2.4 in my SR-5.

I'm not interested in relocating the oil filter however, but I'm just
wondering if anyone knows of any aftermarket filter[s] that offer more
filtration and oil capacity that will fit in the stock location on the
four banger?

Many thanks for taking the time to respond!

Alain

Hard to answer. Nobody know exactly what the filtration rating is of the
Toyota filters, so nobody knows what's better.

I know all the suppositions, but don't assume that a larger filter is
superior. If it doesn't filter as well, you lose. I know that the stock
filter is small, but I've never heard of anyone demostrating that the filter
fills with junk and is inadequate.

I'd stick with a stock Toyota filter, or maybe Purolator Pure One.

the Dana WIX filters were proven to be superior to most off the shelf items,
including many of the oem brands... this includes a battery of tests such as
seals, filtration and consistency....
