Amsoil SDF57 Filter for the 4.0L

[405HP_Z06]

Anyone use this filter on their 4.0L? Opinions?

Is the Amsoil filter you're using expensive? We cut one apart in the shop the other day. It looked pretty good but has a thin can. Choosing a filter for a street car is such a pain. There are no standards and sometimes you're taking a chance. Amsoil oil is good, but who makes their filter? Maybe there is an Amsoil fan out there...

I haven't used it yet, just looking for opinions. It costs ~$11. They are made by Baldwin.

For $11 I'd look at the Mobil 1 filter, too. It has fiber media instead of paper and is rated at 10-15 microns. It's built like a tank with a thick can. The filter is build by Champion Labs. I use an M1-209 on my V8. The book calls for an M1-109, but the 209 is longer. There is a larger one, the M1-301, but it may be too big (has anyone tried it?).

I'm going to use the Toyota 90915-YZZD1 for now and watch the UOA's. Thanks for the input.

I go with Toyota filter, only $ 6.49 here. For that price I'll use it anytime.

Has anyone tried a TRD oil filter? Saw them online for around $15-$17. Don't know about the quality though.

It may be the same kind of deal as Amsoil, that takes a Baldwin filter and relabels it. Now it costs more, a lot more. And it's really difficult to tell if there is any added value, beyound the label.
