Well i dont use the Toyota brand filter. I have been using the K&N for the toyota 4 cyl. But some people were saying that the D3 filter for the V8 was better. I think im just going to stick with the 4 cyl size which i think is the Mobil 1 M1-103 and Castrol 5w-30.
heh so you two are on the same page after all. you use GTX or Syntec?

I use dyno oil... i dont see the point in using synthetic, especially on an older motor that i thrash around everytime i drive it... not to mention it doesn't get driven much.
I'm not even sure if what i just said makes sense, im just really tired...

if you're not driving it much, and thrash it everytime you do.. wouldn't synthetic be MORE beneficial? rather than a car that gets driven on the highway, gently, and oil changed every 2-3 months? The longer oil sits, the more it breaks down.. i'm not sure if that impacts the filter itself as much as it does the oil and the parts the oil is supposed to lubricate.

The only benefit from using the bigger D3 filter would be a slightly(very slight) higher oil capacity, nothing else. The filter itself is not any "better" in quality then the other filters mentioned.

more filtration surface in a larger filter (assuming equal number of pleats per inch)

im getting my oil changed next week, what filter should i get? cuz the links dont work on the 1st page.
doesn't matter as much on a '90.. just use mobil1 or wix or purolator pureone. the DOHC (92-94SE) is the one that's super-picky about oil filters. Notice the topic title says "VE30DE" whereas your car has a VG30E.
