Shows how to QUICKLY and EASILY convert ANY Toyota, Lexus, or Scion Model Vehicle from a messy and difficult cartridge-based filter to a super convenient spin on (disposable) cannister oil filter! To find out which adapter fits your Toyota or Lexus, go to www.baxterperformanceusa.com
The filter used in this video is a Wix 51335 AKA Napa Gold 1335 (essentially the exact same filter). I am almost certain that Wix makes the Napa filter and just slaps Napa's name on them. That being said, I am 99% sure that you have several different filter options that you can use with this adapter (depending on your vehicle, it's specific filter requirements, and the physical space that you have available to comfortably fit the filter on your vehicle).
While I hope you benefit greatly from this video's content, please do not try to contact me for technical advice as I am just a DIY guy and have no interest in responding to such inquiries. I would respectfully suggest that you direct any technical questions that you may have to Baxter Performance located at baxterperformanceusa.com

The reason our beloved Toyota/Lexus changed to these stupid cannisters is the same reason they deleted the ATF dipstick, it is obvious and the very first thing when I found that newer cars had taken the giant step BACKWARDS for these things. Toyota wants to discourage DIY mechanics from doing anything that would make their car last longer, and making oil change a PITA is a subtle move against people who maintain their own cars. But it is the true reason, since there is absolutely no good reason for them to design them the way they are doing it now.

"Toyota wants to discourage DIY mechanics from doing anything that would make their car last longer" Yeah, it's a vast conspiracy :roll eyes: It's different than a spin -on filter, but not a big deal if you make the effort to understand how it's supposed to be serviced. Separate element also let's you "pre-oil" the element a bit, to eliminate the first 1-2 seconds of engine operation with little or no oil pressure -- that's good for engine long life. I had an early 2000s BMW that had a similar replaceable element, and a separate housing. But, the BMW's housing was near the top of the engine and pointed "up" , so virtually no spillage. That was about the only thing I liked better on the BMW.

@@appalachie I seriously retract my entire comment. On a Lexus forum I read somebody in the industry, that said EPA was leaning on the car makers to make a transmission that can go at least 100K miles on its fluid, and this is why they pre-empted the whole C.f. and had their suppliers reformulate the ATF to make it go at least that long, and why they deliberately made it harder to change it, and to change engine oil as well. So it is not Toyota's fault it is EPA's, which is what counts to me at least.

Maybe the way overpriced adapter has anti-backflow, but the cheap screw on filter sure as h... doesn't. Also take note, the screw on filter shown is HALF the size of the factory canister filter, and hangs well below the factory canister.

They are very clean if drained before removing it from the vehicles from the bottom of it. I love the design because you can inspect filter media before and after oil change. Who knows what quality is in the oil filters contained in metal. Also clearance can be an issue using this adapter as well on the Sienna vehicles. Nice video.

Congratulations, I think you may be the first person that has given what is in my opinion a very good reason for the cartridge and that is being able to inspect the media after the oil change. I had not thought about that. That is a valuable insight to be able to take advantage of if you choose to do so. That being said, I do not. That it is worth it to me to sacrifice the option to be able to do that for the convenience of a canister filter. Also, in case you do not know or maybe we're just not willing to do so. You are able to cut open the canister filters to look at the media inside. Many KZfaqrs have done so. Of course it's not as easy as with the cartridge, but it is what it is.

@CharlesBridgTec Жыл бұрын

@@jotu2121 ...but you missed my main point of seeing the filter media before installing is critical as well for cutting open a can filter makes it useless before hand. So the one extra step to drain the filter with the included plastic adapter is simple and prevents the mess that the few complain about. I can say a few times I saw filters that were cut open only to find that the filter media was torn or not even seamed together correctly causing oil to bypass the filter media completely. Finally to see the media used in the filament is also important for not all media is created equal as well. So that being said there is no problem with this proven design which has been around for over 11 years and counting without issues. The only thing I upgraded was my 2019 Toyota Sienna SE Premium plastic assembly with the metal version. As for this assembly adapter as stated before may hang down too far below the vehicle and be a hazard on some Toyota vehicles.

@G5Hohn 8 ай бұрын

I’ve really come to love the Toyota design for a couple reasons. First, by allowing drainback you get a more complete oil change. Second, the vertical orientation of the filter means you don’t need drainback prevention. Third, the elements have no metal on them and thus the manufacturing process cannot cause small metal burrs to remain on the metal parts. (Spin on filters are notorious for generating debris when spun on). Fourth, the filters come with a drain provision in the cover- insert the plastic nipple, press open the drain check ball under the cover, and drain all the filter with no mess. Fifth, the lack of metal in the elements simplifies manufacturing and allows an equivalent quality filter media to be make a cheaper overall filter. I see a lot of advantages to the Toyota setup. But I’m biased because I’m an engineer that specializes in these kinds of things.

While I agree a spin on filter is much nicer, the filter you are using with the kit has what appears to be approximately 50% less filter media. While the 2.5 Toyota runs rather clean I’ll always prefer more filter capacity over convenience. Also with the adapter and the small filter the filter now hangs below the oil pan witch in your case has seen some abrasion already. So if that were to happen again you have now opened your oil system and if not caught in time will lead to total engine failure.

I’m 71 and just changed the oil on my Tundra myself for the first time. I always had the dealer do it. Their price rose to $98+ so I bought a 12 qt Mobil 1 oil in a box, a toyota filter and a crush washer and even after buying a MotiveX ($30) wrench to remove the filter housing I still saved a lot of money. And it will be much cheaper from here on out since I won’t be buying anything but the oil, filter and washer. Probably $50 total. As far as the mess…who cares? It’s not like I change the oil every week. I change it a 3k intervals. In my case that’s once a year as I use my truck mainly for towing our camper. At $200+ for this contraption I can stand a little oil running down my rubber gloved hand. 😊

A friend gave me a Baxter TS-101-BK that he took off his Tacoma before he traded it in for a new truck. At first I was skeptical because of the short oil filter in this video that I would need to keep the filter from scraping the ground on my 2016 Camry. Then, I did some research and found that the Mobil 1 filter (M1-102A) that my 2018 Tacoma uses and would fit my Camry is 3.375" tall and 3" diameter. The Wix filter 51335 is only 2.483" tall but is 3.67" in diameter. I physically compared the two. The Wix is much larger looking. I'm no math genius but I figure the media coverage of the two is about the same. I installed the adapter and the Wix filter last weekend. The filter hangs higher than the oil pan. Plus, since the spin on has a anti drain back valve, the VVTI doesn't make the annoying rattle on cold start up anymore. So far, I'm happy with the modification. Note: I've been told that Toyota has eliminated the cartridge filter and went back to the spin on.

Jo Tu, your opening soliloquy SO poignantly captured the visceral angst and frustration I experienced when I tried to remove the filter housing on my 2012 Gen 3 Prius, after a Toyota dealer torqued it so tight that I broke a removal tool and was forced to abandon a filter change. Then I found your video and was inspired to buy a Baxter adapter. I ended up using an impact wrench (after buying another removal tool) to break loose the old filter housing-- which I gleefully threw in the trash with the removal tool still attached. The Baxter solution is great for the Prius because there's plenty of room for the unit, which lies horizontally; thus there are no ground clearance concerns. I also installed a ValvoMax drain valve. Oil changes are now so easy that I plan to do them myself every 5000 miles (rather than the Toyota specified 10,000). The more frequent filter change intervals (to my mind) alleviate concerns about the somewhat smaller filtration element.

@jotu2121 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your well written and thought out comment... I really enjoyed it. Happy that things have worked out for you. I have a low-level caution that I later discovered about the Valvomax. After installing it, I developed a very, very, slow leak and was unsure of what was leaking... could be the oil pan or whatever. After diagnosis, I have come to the conclusion that the Valvomax was simply not tightened enough at installation (because the recommended Valvomax torque spec is to low) leading to a very slow leak that will build up oil somewhere (lowest point of engine under oil plug) over time. After considering many things, I came to the conclusion that, for my vehicle (and probably most, or all, others), that the Valvomax recommended torque of 15-18 Ftlbs is simply wrong and should be adjusted closer to factory torque specs >>> FOR YOUR SPECIFIC VEHICLE

As a mechanic myself, the catridge design is a pain in the ass. When I try to drain the oil from the filter, it spun the whole cartridge which I thought was kind of strange. The plastic cartridge does get stuck. The aluminum version is a lot better than the plastic. It does provide a little bit of heat dissapation and it won't strip on you. The aluminum version is my preferred way to go. The way how you explain and do things. I see that you change both oil and filter at every change. Nothing wrong with that. It just that engineers didn't need to design this. The engineers probably design this is to reduce metal filters going to waste and just burn the paper cartridge. It does saves them money but it wastes a little bit more of our time to do it. The aftermarket adapter for the oil filter can change the oil flow, pressure, and filtration. The oil capacity that a filter can hold are also a factor to engine life. The engineers design it for a reason they know the maximum and minimum of oil the will take when the oil bypass valve turns open. A good example be like hydraulic pressure. The flow rate is like 3 gpm and the pressure running through that be like 14 psi. I haven't check the link yet if it does provide those specs. It's a great idea but with some flaws just like car manufacturers.

I've done all of the maintenance on my mother's 2014 Camry since the dealership maintenance ended. I have never had any issues with the cover, torque it to 25 pounds, and use the drain function. But, I have been called out to help two friends/family with high mileage Corollas, that had been taking their cars to oil change places, and then decided to change the oil themselves. The covers were locked in place and started falling apart when trying to get them off with an adapter (of note, both were also missing the locking clips). These were also side mounted, so didn't have the drain option. Much chiseling and profanity ensued! So, I wouldn't get one of these adapters for my own Toyota, but I can definitely see the benefit for someone who is going to a quick change place, just be sure to let them know you have the adapter.

I have been changing the oil in my Toyota Sequoia since it was new in 2011. It has always been a pain and I suspect as others have said that it is planned to make it difficult for DIYers. My OEM is plastic and I tried years ago to replace it with an aftermarket metal one but it always leaked, so I went back to the old one. I was surprised to see that this new setup has such a tiny filter cartridge. That cannot be good. Also the large "O" ring I noticed gets pretty hard from the engine heat, so you are probably going to find that you need to replace that from time to time. I am sticking to the OEM. Over 200k miles on mine and with the new car crap they are trying to sell us these days, I am going to try to get another 200-300k out of my big V8 polution machine.
