Hi all,
I offered to do an oil change on my sons "new 80 Series" and I purchased the oil and filter a Ryco Z9. He also bought the oil and filter but his filter was a Z418 half the size a a little cheaper (about $2.50). What is the correct filter? Both can fit.
Regards
JD

It is important to understand that the size of the filter, does not mean that it is good or bad.
The Z9 is very old tech, but still does a good job.
About 16 byears ago Toyota came out with new tech filter for their petrol cars, which were only half the size, but gave much better filtering.
Toyota puts out a brochure which help understand the changes.
I would suggest that the Z418 is the latest.
Regards
Col

Col,
Thanks for info. I thought that may be the case, as I used the Z9 on my Datsun 1600 back when I was single. Gee has it been that long ago.
