Hi there kesh, have heard of this happening before with ryco filters, has only been that one that Iv'e heard about cause there is plenty of people round that use them and don't have any trouble.I use toyota genuine myself, I can get them for $10.90 each which is pretty close to the same price as a repco/ryco one, I'll stick with the genuine at least while I can get them cheap, luckily my mate still works for them and I use to work for them years ago so still know some people that work there.My hilux still takes around 3/4 seconds on initial start up before light goes out but my mates 4 runner has less klm's than mine and is still the same so dont think it's a problem at this stage. I presume that 3/4 second would be an reasonable amount of time for the oil flow when it's been standing over night, during the day after the initial first cold start it goes off virtually as soon as it's started so dont think there's any problem. Regards Vitara

Forgot to mention that have been told that the genuine filters also have a valve inside them that stops the oil draing from the filter so when firing up for the first time in the morning the filter has stayed full there fore spending less time filling the filter first and getting the oil to the top of the motor quicker, dont know how true this is as I have never cut one open to have a look ???

$10.90 for a Ryco Oil Filter?? I just paid $36.99 at Kmart - They wanted $39.99 at Repco for them (Z334 for the 1HZ)!!! I feel I have been ripped!

Hi there Drew, I think for memory my'n is the same as the old Z9 filters. Very popular filter fit a range of vehicle's Valiant, ford, the old 202 holden motors, so might be why there cheaper, even my VX commodore 01 now is cheaper to buy genuine then at kmart only cost me 7/8 $$$$$$ where to get a ryco from kmart is about 9 $$$ and I would prefer to use genuine where possible. I thought the Z334's were fairly popular as well, I don't now how they work out there pricing some times on spare parts, either way there all a rip off. I have heard coopers are a very good oil filter as well, have never tried them or priced them. Wouldn't like to be replacing filters on the patrols as I presume they still use 2 oil filters on there's as I know the old ones used 2 not sure about current models. I can see why people are starting to question the servicing costs on a diesel compared to buying a petrol and using a bit more fuel. Mind you if your towing a big load I'd still prefer to go the diesel. Have a great day Take Care Vitara

Drew , try Ebay for your filters , look under Landcruiser , have been getting mine from a place in W.A. , Genuine Toyota ,air + fuel + oil for the exhorbitant cost of $44 + postage ,, thats all 3 filters deliverd to my door for less than $55......

Hi there Geoff M, yes I have noticed the black rubber under the small holes just presumed that was part of the filtering part of the filter. Well there you go, as usual you learn some thing new everyday on this site that's why I joined. Thanks for that. If I ever need to buy non genuine I will try and find a filter with that rubber under neath. Thanks for the info. Have a great day Vitara

Hello Vitara,
Anytime, the best part about this forum is next week you'll post something and I'll say, "be buggered, I didn't know that"

Geoff.
