Oil filter options

[GZE016]

I've recently fitted a relocation kit which allows for a larger filter, does anyone use or recomend a larger genuine oil filter?

I just use a z9, they are a decent size. What size thread did you get ? Or is it stock size ?

[GZE016]

Standard 4a, I think it's 3/4 16

The Z9 filter screws straight on to 3/4 x 16. I will be using on my TA22's filter relocating kit.

Yep z9 ftw,. Huge, cheap and available anywhere.

Another for the Z9 if you have the room.
Alternatively the slightly larger filter that suits the 1UZ will fit as I use this one on my 4A and 7A engines as a direct replacement.

Check any manufacturers data for that thread size and get one that's large, has a drain-back valve, doesn't have a bypass-valve(unless you plan on never changing oil and/or filter again), and a low number to filter the smallest micron bits.

Big, cheap & available are secondary factors.

are you folks just using Ryco Z9 ? they are like $8 or so ?

[andrew_mx83]

Yeah if you're getting ripped off lol

I'm going to stick to genuine. 1uz filter seems a good option, p/n I've come up with is 90915-YZZD4.

I dont know if Toyota use a Z9, but it seems all the Toyota genuines ive bought are same price as Ryco filters, only when i use my trade card the rycos are cheaper

Z9 I think is used in most of the bigger Toyota commercials/4WDs, ie Landcruiser, especially diesels.

That would make sense i guess

I'm actually looking at trying the 1UZ filter on my 4A's. I've run 3SGTE filters in the past as they have about 15% more capacity, but the 1UZ is a massive increase. For those that are curious, here are some photos comparing the filters.






Just hope there is enough lip on the filter boss to ensure a good seal against the larger seal on the 1UZ filter.

I've got a Z9 on my 1JZ, its a cheap, large and super common filter
