I was going to buy a WIX oil filter product number 51348xp and amazon says it doesn't fit. Go to WIX's website and it says it does fit. wtf? Or should I just a Puro PL10241 One and just be done with it? FYI I have a 2000 4runner limited 6cyl w/270k on it.

People take advice from Amazon? The place that sells brakes for a 2015 civic then promptly says they don't fit any Honda? Good god...
Just go to the damn store. Wix is fine, they'll find the exact one for you.

Go to Walmart and buy the OEM filter or get a FL400s.

With napa and Walmart’s everywhere why mail order it?

The Walmart’s in my area sell many OEM filters. But I use the FL400s it’s the larger filter and 3.75 and a PL series filter.

Amazon is only as good as the parts database that is uploaded into it. If you know of a case on this forum where that part number will fit, then it probably will.

That said, if you want any sort of warranty protection then I would use Wix's catalog to choose the filter number for their exact vehicle.

Also, who wants to go to Walmart? It already sucked before and now it is the home base for people that wear disposable facemasks on their chins.
 
I use to run Wix and Purolator on my car, they are really good quality. On the 4R I buy the 2nd Gen Taco oil filter 90915-yzzD3, its cheap, larger capacity, and OEM.

Those are sold at Walmart in my area. It’s also the cheapest place to get motor oil.

Copied this from an older thread. Most people suggest going with an oversize option. I was using the Purolators forever until I came across a good deal on some Toyota oversize filters on amazon. I also noticed one of my local walmarts is actually stocking some Toyota filters.

---Make-------Stock------Oversize
Amsoil--------EAO57------EAO34
Fram---------PH3614-----PH3600
K&N----------HP-1002----HP-2009
Mobil---------M1-102-----M1-209
Motorcraft----ML-910s----ML-400s
Napa---------1348-------1516
Purolator-----PL10241-----PL20195 (most people suggesting the "boss" versions of these filters, PBL10241/PBL20195)
Wix-----------51348xp------51516xp
Toyota--90915-YZZD1---90915-YZZD3 (<---10 packs)

The Motorcraft FL400s belongs on the oversized list.

Yes, and it's well constructed and will provide the filtration your engine needs, why mess around with aftermarket?
 
After more thought, if a dealership is nearby, I can't see why you would try to pursue aftermarket options, unless it's convenience. At best you're saving $3 per filter by going aftermarket, and the filter is good for at least 5000 miles, so the savings are negligible. The only thing an aftermarket filter could offer is filtration that is BETTER than what Toyota recommends. So your gain is what?

Bingo! This is not about saving a lousy buck- its totally, completely and absolutely all about Better Filtration.

I use the purolator Boss filters (air, oil, fuel) rated for 20K but of course I don't drive 20K between OCs, only 5K, yes it cost me more but I like it that way.
 
Here you go, and you don't even need to leave the house. My dealer always throws in a paper covered aluminum washer, although I'm sure I payed for it somehow. Gotta be careful with "more" claimed filtration, if it filters to well you might lose oil pressure or have delayed oil pressure on startup, Toyotas/Japan vehicles have very low oil pressure at idle, or if equipped it could bypass the filter, some filters also have cheap anti drain back valves again making for slow build up of oil pressure, some have cold weather/clogged filter bypasses, and some cheap filters use plastic cages inside to hold the filter media, but I'm sure most quality filters mentioned work just as good as OEM. You know what they say, your engine gets the most wear at startup, and considering what Toyota has at stake I assume they made the best choices for our application through R&D using the best materials.

The OEM filters also use a real o-ring which is much better at sealing and the o-ring comes pre-lubed. For those reasons alone, it is worth it!

I'd still be willing to use a Purolator or Bosch oil filter, but my two Toyotas can use the same filter, so I just keep the D3 filter in stock on the garage...

My local Walmart has the OEM Filters in stock which is nice to know. I have been using STP Filters and they have been great.
