Walmart Canada recently had on sale the Bosch Premium oil filters, so I picked up a couple for my 4Runner and two Fords that my parents own.
The correct filter for the 5VZFE Toyota 4Runner is the 3330, but some Googling shows that some people use the 3422 as an oversized filter on their Toyotas (not just the 4Runner).
I am wondering if anyone has experience with running an oversized oil filter on their 5VZFE? Can it cause any harm? I figure the benefit of an oversized filter would be increased efficiency due to more filter area and lower pressure restriction.
Coincidentally, the 3422 is also used on both my parents' Fords, so another advantage for me is that I only have to stock up on one kind of filter.
Thoughts?
