Oil filters

I'm into Ryco for both of mine on the 99 Jack...fine so far...look ok to me.Get me outa these suburbs !

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.

G'day mrdesmo
Try a Don Kyatt outlet. In Brisbane they trade as Sunshine State 4WD at Archerfield - not sure what the go is in other states. They sell the same filter as you'd get at Toyota but at a fraction of the cost. Same deal for both diesel and petrol filters. Same again with fuel filters and any parts you might need. You'd have to be crazy to go to Toyota. I am not on their payroll - just a happy customer.

i run fleetguard filters, a lot of transport operators use them on their trucks, and are made in the states and are reasonably cheap. Col

I bought a filter mate adaptor that allows me to use a Ryco Z9 ($6 from K-Mart) on my 80 series. I change it every 5K

MICRO you'd probably have to go to a filter place as never seen on any shelf,
there made in japan, look id & 2 stage as genuine to gen minus the writing, by memory about 27 bucks

All filterss have to conform to standards. If the filter fits and it claims to filter to a specified micron rating then you shouldn'd have a problem especially if you change the filter every 5000.
I do over 50,000 a year and and in the last four years haven't had any oil related problems. Most cheap brands are made by ryco anyway. I am sure others will argue but thats my opinion for what it is worth. The question for you is if you use any brand can you sleep at night knowing that it's changed religiously. If the answer is yes then save some money.

I bought 2 Genuine Hilux oil filters from SciFleet at Albion in Brisbane last week for $25 in GST each. If they are the same size as the 80 series then the valvoline at supercheap for $25 aint cheap!

Cheers,

how are you mrdesmo, sorry this is very late (just finished moving towns). used to work for repco auto parts ,than a toyota dealer . I would spend the extra dollars on the toyota filter they are recommened to be changed at 10000km plus if they stuff up toyota pays for all repairs. BUt if you do use aftermarket use ryco or wix filters (wix are american ) or fleetguard.sorry for the late reply.
