Just wanting opinions on aftermarket oil filters for diesels…I know most will say stick with the dealers brand and all, but if oils aint oils, then are filters still filters?
I bought a Valvoline filter for $25 from Supercheap auto (for 80 series) and when compared to the ‘yota one, it just looked like cheap crap. Surely there must be a better aftermarket brand that’s cheaper than the dealer one.
Yes, I know, stop being a tight arse…..but if you don’t ask, you’ll never know.
Cheers

G'day mrdesmo,
You asked for opinions, here's
mine....
RYCO!!!!
Ryco is the only aftermarket brand of filters (oil, fuel, & air) that I will consider...
Price (within reason) is not an issue for me with filters...
GUD Holdings (Rycos' parent company) is an Australian company which has been making filters for a long, long time & IMO are as good as you can get..
I know they also have manufacturing facilities in NZ, & also Seth Efrika, I believe..
Sure, there may be others (imported, cheaper) which are just as good, but it's RYCO for me.
Ed.C.

Genuine oil filter is only $32.48 @ my toyota dealer, nearly the same price as Ryco.
