Oil Filter Upgrade, Bigger one for the 5sfe motors (UPDATE) Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I don't know about everyone else, but I hate it everytime I go to change my oil and am reminded of how small my oil filter is. How can that thing do the job that the 2.2lt requires? So, I found one that matched the thread pattern and diamater and just put it on my car. It's a PureONE PL14477. It's only about a half and inch longer, but it's enough to make me happy. I'll try to find out what car comes with that.

EDIT: Update at bottem.

it wont hurt at all.
no real need tho, the stock filter is perfectly fine, and is also used on the 3s.
when i first turboed, i used a ford V8 filter for awhile...it holds almost a quart by itself its so huge! lmao...
just a bit of overkill IMO...

Manny, I know this is old, but I wanted to throw this in.
The 5SFE filter is NOT the same filter as the 3SGTE.
They are physically interchangeable, but the 3S filter is taller.

Nothing wrong with using the taller filter from Toyota.
They are identical inside with the exception of the taller one obviously having more filter area.

FYI the YZZF1 is for the 3SGE/GTE, 4AGE/GZE, 2ZZGE and 1/2AZFE.
YZZF2 is for the 3/5SFE, 4/7AFE, 1ZZFE, and 1NZFE.

Either filter will physically bolt on to all of the above engines. However, at least for the first row I strongly suggest using the correct filter. I don't see it hurting to use the taller one on the second row.

Also, the larger filters for the V6/8 will thread on and at least for most engines won't leak.
So they can offer an even larger filter capacity. How well they will work I don't know however.

This is all for OEM filters only BTW.
