Not true, there's a video of a guy who cut one open after 5,000 miles, cardboard end cap separated from filter element. They are probably fine under 5k, but I won't use the ones with the cardboard end caps.

Absolutely CRAP filters (canister). Fram cartridge not bad at all.

@@Andrew__Smith That is what I find, the FRAM cartage filter for my Camry. It is well made, lots of pleats and strong. it has plastic end caps that are bonded to the filter media. I have tried ripping a filter apart with my bare hands, its not easy! (waisted $8.00 )

Fram Ultra for my 5.0. The best bang for the buck! Might have to look into the Titanium also. 👍🏽🔧

@@Andrew__Smith very true their media is very good. Very good flow and filtering specs. They changed Extra Guard end caps to metal now, saw it on KZfaqr video. Media is slightly thicker, but they cheaped out on the anti drain valve material and a bit thinner canister.

Definitely like I said in the video DO NOT go this long 5k max on the Fram orange I am currently running the K&N white oil filter

@@desolategrey Best not to go over 5k with any filter.

Honda and Subaru use cardboard end caps in their oem filters

@@XenomorphLV426 Subaru had a recall on their blue OEM oil filters. There were a defective batch. Now the new Extra Guard has metal end caps now and a tad thicker media. But the can is slightly thinner and anti drain back valve is different material now.

Currently running the Mobil filter most likely to run it 20k

Any reason why you left fram or just a change?

@@dennywires Fram was usually my main stash of filters ......but on this last oil change I have switched to Mobil 0w30 so it went with the Mobil filter this time and have stocked up on this combo for quite a few changes

Good choice on filter. The 2.7 takes 0w20?

@@dennywires yes sir it calls for 0w20 and I used STP 0w20 bag in box for every change up to the last 2 My son insisted on Lucas products since he is big into mororsports so I got one bag in box of 0w20 and have not been impressed with 0w20 in general and this lucas was the final straw......near the end of a 10k oil change I started to get Rattle on start up in long over the weekend sits Went to 0w40 for one cycle to see what all the rage on BITOG is about .......only complaint I had was on Temps below 40 degrees after start up you could hear the variable valve timing get pretty noisy for a good half second ....... I ran the 0w40 thru the summer and the first cold snap I have gone with 0w30 and this is where I will stay In my humble non oil expert opinion 0w20 is for nothing more than fuel economy and to save on CAFE taxes

Wish u could show the oil passages that lubricate the vvt after 3 yrs, 2 months& 2days, going 23,671 miles

@@frankg6578 i'm a livery driver, & my boss had work on his prius w/350k on it... mechanic could not believe how clean it was, NO sludge, @ all... AMSOIL products r made 4 that... & i still get like 30/32 mpg, going 55/60 mph w/54k on car now... & i will b changing 1 time per year... u must b thinking of the old days of real oil or sum of that crappy / cheap syn oil out there, not AMSOIL.

Yes my use of the term cardboard is for people who refrence the material used as cheap as cardboard ...... Or the videos who use a bait and switch title such as fram filter will " destroy " your engine

John oberle, just because the metal end cap came off doesn’t mean anything. That filter is compressed inside a metal canister it isn’t going anywhere lol

@@classicjay7786 A internal leak were the oil bypassed the media would be a concern. The Motocraft filter was fine. I was surprised how easy the bond was compromised.

You won't but you can get various brands that are for the V6 i recommend the Toyota (Denso) or the Fram platinum

I would suspect this filter was at the very end of its designed limits it did have a slightly crispy gasket ....I have has a few oil samples done by NAPA labs or whoever the company who does the oil analysis for them and they do not show out of the norm metal content This Toyota 4cy is not extremely hard on oil and this truck is literally just a toy and rarely hauls more than the occasional dirtbike I do not recommend anyone do this on a regular basis with a orange can I am currently running bag in box Lucas full syn 0w30 and a K&N white with the nut on the end will be doing 7k intervals for the foreseeable future

Most definitely..... I do run the oil to 10k max and that's only full synthetic

2019 Tacoma 2.7 currently 105k miles Colorado winters and Oklahoma summers or exactly opposite Bulk STP (Amalie)oil 0w20 settled on 6k oil and filter intervals currently using the Toyota (Denso) filters

I have a video of the fram titanium up with just over 20k on it

_if_ you're gonna go anything like 20k, you definitely want to use a filter rated for it. The orange cans are _not_ rated for anything close to that. Use the ultra for something like that.

20,000 on the oil or the filter?

@@brynnond.6952 On the filter ther is one 10k run of oil STP (Amalie) 0W20 Full Syn ....... I am currently running the K&N white filter and plan on 20k on the filter with 2 oil changes at 10k each

@@desolategrey are you stupid

This is a ORANGE not a titanium after the "orange can of death " I went titanium for 2 filters after that I am currently running the K&N white version with the nut on the end will most likely keep running the K$N long term from here on out as long as they are available.....the only reason I ran this filter this long is to prove this particular filter did not split the media or blow out a end cap I would recommend 5k miles at the very max for the orange can there are far better and far worse filters out there

Yes for sure

The V6 is a cartridge this is the 2.7 4cyl

@@desolategrey how is that 2.7 liter 4 cyl? I’m looking at 2014-2015 Venza’s with that engine as my retirement vehicle (with hopefully low mileage). Is it as reliable as their 2.5 L Camry engine?

@@carlovanrijk4039 my wife loves the truck it's primarily used to haul a dirt bike on occasion and we specifically found the 4cyl in this color and 4x4 very low production numbers .......I personally think the 4cyl will outlast the V6 based on reliability

@@desolategrey of all the videos I’ve watched and research of the Toyota engines, I tend to agree with you. While the 4 cyl doesn’t have the power output of the V6, it’s got the reliability and longevity that I’m looking for. After all, it’s going to be my retirement vehicle…hey it may outlast me! 😃👍🏼

Aproxapproximately 7 months

Cool. Good to know

I go about 8k on oil changes but because I used synthetic motor oil. I been doing that for years and not one problem.

@@supremekingjesus425 I use full syn also but would never go over 5k miles between changes in general. When I had turbo engine I would change it at 4k miles. Just not worth risking engine damage over a few dollars.

lol go buy an oil filter for 1$ off rock auto and tell me this is the worst oil filter

Those filters can do a 10k run they're equal to the quality you'd fine in many oe filters

@@dennywires the Honda and Subaru OEM filters are Fram Tough Guard equivalents. I’ve cut open both and they’re all identical…all the way down to the stamping on the baseplate.

@@carlovanrijk4039 they're good filters.

@@dennywires agreed! And that’s why I have no issues using them. I really don’t think Honda and Subaru engineers would put crappy components on their vehicles. They have a quality standard to uphold.

More like 12k engine

Soooooo ..... relying on a $5.10 filter made with 85 cents in parts chancing $8,000 in repairs give you peace of mind ?? Geeeze Dude , seriously ?? !! 🙄

@@waylonmccrae3546 well, for piece of mind, I am not going to put the cheapest made filter on my engine. A fram Ultra for 8 bucks vs a 4 dollar Orange can is going to cost me 8 dollars extra a year for 2 oil changes. U make the call.

@@bobdylan9117 Good analogy .... you rock Bob Dylan !! 😉👍

@@bobdylan9117 this was just for fun I have seen many customers go much longer on a orange fram .......should you do it hell no but these will go 5k no worries I am currently running the white K&N with full syn 0w20 and have been going 5k intervals for over a year now that's about half the life of that combination it could easily go 10k and not even blink this 2.7 is a simple design and commonly lasts 200k Now my powerstrokes and my wife's benz different story all together Thanks for the comments 👍
