Yes, same question here. Any feedback?

I see a hex nut around the center tube threads in the adapter. Do you tighten it down through that or just around the circumference by hand?

Cartridge to Spin-On Adapter

VS

Billet Oil Cap for filter - Jowett Performance

Dude that Jowett piece might be the happy in between solution. And only $7? Might have to try it; did you get it?

It's $7 only for the nipple! Dream on...

There was one member here who switched to the spin-on adapter (BPA I think) and experienced leaking. I don't recall ever reading that happening with the stock plastic, so I'll stick with that and save the $200!

I say stick with stock, press on a tube on the plastic drain that comes with the filter, get the removal tool and do it yourself. Filters are cheaper as well.

Increased surface area, better pressure differential, blah, blah, blah...do you really notice the difference? Nope.

We're not talking race car here folks!

They aren't race cars, that is true, but they are vehicles that tend to not be even on smooth pavement. They tend to be on inclines/declines and/or leaning. This coupled with a wet sump oiling system can lead to oil starvation. Having even oil pressure helps. Also, if keeping things stock is your thing, why are you on this forum?

Stock sucks!

Has anyone experienced leaking with the stock plastic setup? I don't know, don't think so. That's fine with me. I'll save my $200 plus $10 per filtger and stay with stock.

We're not talking about oil starvation here. That's less of an issue than leaking filters!

I'm not suggesting one keep everything stock. That's a pretty big leap you're making and a silly one.

If you are driving on a slope steep enough to cause oil starvation, your filter isn't going to help, no matter if it is TDR bling or oem. ....custom oil pans and pickup tubes designed for that type of driving are available that help somewhat. Do you have one? Even with a special oil pan, if the slope is steep enough you will lose oil pressure, so you better shut off the engine and use your winch.

BTW--stock does just fine for most people. If you are a rock-crawler/hopper that drives super technical trails , what are YOU doing on this forum?

Now back to the original thread....pardon my rudeness.

I didn't know that the 4Runner could even climb slopes steep enough to cause oil starvation.

That's like complaining that lateral g's can starve your engine as well.

Changing the oil on my 16' Trail is a cakewalk compared to my 01 Taco 3.4l, Baxter needs to make something to help with the shit show of filter placement for the 3.4!
