Purulator Boss is a great filter 👌🏼

That's fine and dandy but if you're going 7000 miles you take what you get that's not a good idea it's not a very bright thing to do

Is also a guy in the comment section here that posted his filter after 2000 miles torn apart and he shows on Instagram the end caps coming off and how soft and flimsy they are It's not a bad filter for a short and I do mean short 3-5 Thousand Mile oil change none of this seven thousand miles s*** or anything more than $5,000 This is what I do man I can tell when I look at something whether or not it's of good quality or not now if you want to chance it and run that bologna and your vehicle for that long have at it do it all day until your heart's content Id never recommend somebody else do it though

Yep. People, like this guy, just look at visuals of the construction and pick a winner. That might be good when reviewing a hammer, but, does an oil filter that LOOKS better actually meet factory specs for bypass pressure, flow rate, micron filtration, filter media area, etc? They have no idea, but it sure does LOOK better. Honda specs a filter to meet the needs of the engine and those specs are based on testing and experience. The Honda OEM filter above is used throughout their lineup, and has been for MANY years, in millions of engines. I trust the engineers who build their renowned engines and wrote the specs. I have no problem choosing the proven Honda filter over another brand that just looks better.

Honda also recommend not changing the transmission fluid. We cant trust always Honda.

@@benchmark3332 That's true, good point. However, if the oil filter that they have been using on almost everything they ever made for about the last 20 years was actually failing at the recommended service intervals, I would think that would have been proven by now instead of still being argued about with absolutely no actual evidence of any problems. Also, Honda probably didn't earn their reputation for building some of the greatest engines in the industry (and other industries) by using terrible oil filters. They never really were known for good automatic transmissions lol.

Great video. My 2000 Lexus SUV had what I believe to be the original (denso) 3 spark plugs in the back...the ones that are hard to reach..when they were all changed at 210000 miles. Someone had just changed the 3 in the front at some point. Those densos really didn't look all that bad. Sure.they we're worn..but no real major change in performance after all the plugs were changed. Just incredible. It was 20 years old at the time. Still on the road.

Look into Union Sangyo filters, they are built like OEM (Japanese style Toko Roki). Same style can, end caps and sealing gaskets. It's possible they manufacture OEM oil filters for the Asian market. Like we have Fram making Honda and Subaru filters. * If you wanna really look into it I saw a filter that looks like a Honda A01 and made in Japan. It has a diffrent number as it is geared towards power equipment. Most likely they bring in Japan made ones for Marine and Power Equipment stuff. I Honda cutting cost instead of bringing Japanese filters.

I also. It's a filtech, same as the old A01 filter.

Well this filter in this video it wasn't made cheap

personal don't have access to do the testing I'm not an oil filter lab I can only do so much with Hands-On

David N, there’s a reason 95% of the oil filters out there use metal end caps. It doesn’t matter how robust the filter media is if it collapses/distorts and leaks oil past its robust filter media. Just look at all the oil filters cut open to prove this fact. Even Fram uses metal end caps on their “better” Titanium oil filters. U should tell Fram about your cardboard glue theory so maybe they’ll use it on their better (metal end cap) Titanium Fram filters.

I am not sure whether this is true 100% of the time, but so far it has been for all my purchases. Rock Auto and Denso are both pretty freaking awesome.

Same goes for Toyota's OEM brand Aisin. Find it on RockAuto for less than half the price of a Toyota Dealer

I have videos on the efficiency I was the first one to actually come out with a video talking about the differences between the old Ultra design and the new one I have everything covered very clearly right from Fram themself

Toyota doesn’t use end caps because they really aren’t that important! What matters more is the anti drainback valve and the bypass valve because one keeps the oil in the filter and the other one opens up if the oil is too thick so it can go straight to the engine without being filtered 🤷🏻‍♂️ but yet people get there panties in bunches over cardboard end caps lol Toyota knows what they are doing they are not stupid

Where did you find this information?

@@csluvas It's printed on the filter

No idea

@@FordBossMe On my 08 Odyssey if you go by the maintenance minder it comes out to be about 6500 miles OCI and that's if you change it when the light comes on at 15%. On top of that, Honda recommends filter change only every OTHER oil change--not sure who does that. I've been using the A01 Filtech filters (I had a stockpile of them) which are better than the A02. A02 are not Filtech filters. The A01 Filtech filters aren't available anymore, though...at least not that I can find. I do have a box of the 003 Honda filters made in Japan. Haven't seen one cut apart to know if they're any better than the A01 or A02.

@@johnaclark1 i so far like the denso filters but better than them is MotorCraft Design is more superior

@@FordBossMe Yeah, I agree. I noticed the Denso filters are out of stock on RockAuto.

@@johnaclark1 Hmmm, wonder why....🤔

You can do that and the engine will still survive through the warranty period but shortly thereafter you will start having excessive wear issues such as high oil consumption, exhaust smoke, vibrations, etc which of course will mean having to purchase Honda replacement parts. With margins being very slim now on actual auto sales, nearly all auto manufacturers have re-focused their profit goals towards replacement parts sales, thus we have seen recommended motor oil and trans fluid change intervals getting ridiculously long even in the face of clear evidence that what appears in the manual is leading to serious mechanical issues down the road (after the warranty has expired) and the manufacturers are more than happy to suggest those exaggerated service intervals since it makes their vehicles look like they have very low maintenance costs which automotive journalists and consumer buying guides then award more points/stars to that brand or model because of the low maintenance costs and then pronounce that model to be a "Best Buy" so yeah... there are many motives behind suggesting these ridiculously exaggerated service intervals but anyone who has been in the automotive repair industry for decades and has been able to eyewitness what happens LONG TERM to vehicles that follow the exaggerated service intervals will tell you that those intervals are based on absolute "best case scenario" which practically don't exist for 90% of drivers and will lead to mechanical issues down the road, once the car owner is responsible for repairs and the warranty has expired. Even if you have a car that is under warranty and you have a service agreement with the dealership OR oil changes are included for the first 3 years and the dealer tells you they can only change the oil every 10,000 miles, you can still take the car to the dealer for the 10,000 mile free oil change BUT get that oil changed half way in between the 10,000 miles, you can do it yourself and even if you have minimal mechanical skills and don't want to get under the car you can even get an oil pump which has a hose that just slides down the dipstick tube and suctions the used oil out and then you can add new oil halfway through that 10,000 mile interval (at the 5000 mile mark) and you will be making a big difference in the long term life of that engine. Same goes for the transmission, many manufacturers are now claiming "life time trans fluid which will last the life time of the transmission". What the manufacturer is not telling you though is that they consider the "lifetime" of that transmission to be the length of the warranty. Again, if you want that transmission to last with no issues for as long as that car is on the road, change out that trans fluid every 60k miles MAX. If you do any towing, a lot of mountain driving, soft-roading/off-roading, etc, then seriously consider 30k to 40k trans fluid change-outs. Every competent automotive technician will tell you the same (except for the corporate employed techs that are being paid to play dumb) based on the reality that they see every day. Unfortunately every major car manufacturer has fallen in to this "post-warrantly" replacement parts profitability machine game and it's now up to the customer to read through the deceptive "maintenance schedules" and do what is right for longevity of the car rather than what is right for post-warranty replacement parts sales.

Does the Tacoma use a 90915-YZZD3? CarsNToys did an opening of the D3 oil filter. Great explanation and showcase!

@@jwuwee yeah it has a 3.4L so it uses the D3

If you're in the U.S. then the Subaru filter (blue can) is the same as the Honda filter he shows in this video. Subaru of America switched to Honeywell (Fram) to manufacture/supply the Subaru filters. They're ok if you are doing 3k oil changes or max 5k. That being said, I've seen neglectful owners put 20k miles on those Honeywell filters and the filter survived without any rips/tears in the media or end caps.

Denso is top shelf

I have had many filters of all different makes come in with rust

@@FordBossMe are slight rust on the filters okay?? or dont use it at all?

It looks like just a standard Orange

I bought this one on RockAuto but I know you can find them on Amazon to

@@FordBossMe I did some poking on Amazon. The shipping costs more than the filter bringing it to $17+ per filter. It looks like a good quality filter, but I can usually get Wix filters locally for 1/3-1/2 that price. Still, it’s probably worth ordering one or two to give them a try. Amazon makes it easy to have them on hand. I really appreciated your review. Quite logical without being overly “scientific”. Definitely an everyday user’s point of view. When all is said and done, most people are just looking for quality and peace of mind in something as basic as an oil filter. Does it filter oil well without costing very much, and is it well made enough to last for the OCI desired? ✅ Thanks FBM.

@@fomoco300k The prices on Amazon will vary quite a bit since each vendor (many times just some joe blow who set up an Amazon sellers account while sitting on his bed) on Amazon can prices things (such as oil filters) as they wish. Usually the best deals or less common oil filters (such as Denso) will be where Ford Boss Me got his, that is, Rock Auto. Because of Rock Auto's deep discounting and shipping fee, it makes most sense to order in quantity which is what most people do when ordering from Rock Auto since the shipping fee only goes up slightly for when ordering for example 6 oil filters versus just 1 so that in turn splits the shipping fee per filter to a reasonable amount which in most cases will still be much cheaper than either Amazon or local auto supply stores. Because Rock Auto also carries a mind boggling supply of other automotive parts and supplies, it's very easy to find other things you might need for your vehicle(s) and then just add some oil filters in along with the order.

Ehhh honestly I've used all kinds of filters with synthetic I'm not sure about the Denso Filters Stating it's safe for synthetic or not

They are able to purchase these Honeywell (Fram) filters at less than half the price of what they were paying for the Japanese Subaru filter so made a lot of sense from the profitability standpoint of the Subaru service centers. People love to hate on these filters for the fiber end caps and leaf spring (vs coil spring) but these filters do get the job done and are fine for daily drivers. I've seen people put 350,000+ miles on their cars using exclusively these Honeywell filters (when changed every 3K miles) with no issues. There just a visual issue, yeah metal end caps look better and our brains still operate in caveman mode so we think metal strong , fiber weak, metal better! (enter caveman holler here) but I've seen oil filter failures in practically every design include those with metal end caps and actually have noticed more filter media failures with metal end caps versus fiber end caps, especially in higher output engines and/or higher oil pressure because most filters with metal end caps have the filter media glued to the end caps and that glue is like an epoxy, very hard and non-flexible and that lack of flexibility at the point where the filter media meets the end cap has lead to the filter media ripping at that spot since the filter media wants to flex but the glued part will now. In the case of the fiber end caps, they do not use glue, the fiber end cap are ultrasonically fused to the filter media which allows for the fiber end cap flex with the filter media as well. That's precisely why Honeywell developed the fiber end caps and the fusing process in the first place, it was precisely because of the issues with rips/tears in filter media due to non-flexible, hard glued metal end caps. That being said, it's less of an issue nowadays as filter manufacturers have developed better/stronger filter media but even so, it does still occur and much more often than any issues with the fiber end caps. Your Honda Honeywell filter is still good for 96% filtration at 20 microns (better than many metal end cap filters) so that fact coupled with your 3k to 5k oil changes will keep your engine happy for hundreds of thousands of miles bar any other unrelated issues.

5k or 6 months... 3k is overkill on oil changes.. but its up to you

🤣. The 02 filters are more than sufficient for 5k. Don't buy into the hype. Now 7k on a o2 filter? That is likely pushing things a bit.

Are they the same for the 2020 crv 1.5 turbo engine? Thanks ✌

There was some videos back where I cut open a bunch of used oil filters that I found in the drain and I actually found the Toyota was pretty nice it looks like a Purolator

Pops is hoping to get something back from Ford, there was an egr recall, and ours mightve f*ed with the dpf, idk, I just think its double what it should cost. $1k part, $1k labor right?

I know its not the same fancy vehicle, but I just spent the last 7 months rebuilding my Nissan hardbody from the frame up for less than $2k. Sure I did most of it on my own, but it really makes me not want to get my own transit.

I dont get why the dpf is so tightly tucked up in there. Of course they couldn't just put it in an easily accessible spot. Ive f*ed with enough tight spaces in the last 7 months for the rest of my life. I may have to get rid of my belongings and head off to monastic life if we're just gonna keep charging each other more and more to live on God's free giant garden.

I guess thats new England for you though. We got no problem making debtors of our neighbors up here. I remember I got a muffler done in Louisiana once, and the guy chuckled bc I didn't even wince at his price.

I thought there was some kind of provision in the recall if the EGR cooler does mess up the DPF there's some kind of coverage there

Wasn't there some kind of reprogram on that I would have to look

@@FordBossMe Thank you kindly, I appreciate ya!

Yes they are in Partnership with yota and it's a Chinese made oil filter from what I understand that's why it's of such great quality
