OEM toyota oil filter vs the rest Options

[mk7celica]

Ok so I read in another thread on oil filters. I just installed a stp oil filter. Is it better for to get a toyota oil filter because it runs oil through faster because of its design? And my stp oil filter I have now dont is this true? I think It was in a thread about oil pressure not being made right away without a oem filter. I was wondering if I need a oem filter right away?

Lagos is correct - However, you are also correct. Many of the oil filters still sold in today's market do not have this very important feature but not any one oil change worth of starts is going to ruin your motor. It is a good practise [and advised by many people on here] to always use Toyota OEM filters because there is no guesswork involved - there will always be an antidrain back valve [otherwise known as a check valve]. As a designer of lubrication check valves I can tell you it is a very important part of the lubrication system but don't panic, as Art said, if you don't have one on your car currently - just make sure you have one next time.
It's also highly possible that the STP filters have this feature [equally possible that they don't]. You'll be fine
