Larger Oil Filter - 50% more media... - Page 2

Elton · 01-20-2007, 09:07 PM

ive been useing mobil 1 clean 5,000 as i dont have the $18+ dollars for full synthetic

Elton · 01-21-2007, 04:21 PM

the napa gold filter 1516 fits fine theres a hose above the filter thats kinda in the way so a bigger filter may not work i have some pics of new filter compared to the old i can post up if needed.... also doing a oil change sucks more and more every time i change it

UNR.Grad · 01-30-2007, 09:47 PM

Random, but my girlfriend's 2001 Saturn SC2 uses the same filter as ours, looks like I'll upgrade her to the 1516 also, thanks for the info!

I'd be worried about the bypass valve difference. That Ford filter will filter less oil than the Toyota specific filter. What's the use of having a filter if the oil isn't flowing through it? And if you're worried about clogging the filter, you're waiting WAY too long between changes.

That doesn't look like a trade-off I'd make on a vehicle I was planning on putting 250k on.

You have a point, but in this case the bypass valve pressure is the same for either filter. When I first looked in to this (see my old thread a few up^ ), me and the gentleman at NAPA cross referenced everything in thier big oil filter book, and they were the same. I can't remeber what the rating was now, though...

Hugo · 03-13-2007, 05:42 AM

So is anyone using the bigger one yet?

Intrepid · 03-13-2007, 06:36 AM

I just changed the oil in my 4.7L Tundra on Saturday and the 3.0L ford taurus filter fits great, no leaks, no problems.

Hugo-

I've been using the larger NAP filter since 2002 with success...

Gonna give this a shot in my 'runner later!

YotaFun · 03-14-2007, 08:05 PM

Gonna be doing this tomorrow, we shall see what happens

Starbuck3733T · 03-15-2007, 07:14 AM

The weather has gone back to being terrible here, so I'm doing this friday. Have Mobile 1 and Napa Gold, will travel.

mt_goat · 03-15-2007, 04:01 PM

Napa has a sale on their oil filters today only, I got 4 of the Napa Gold 1516 for $12.48 or $3.12 each. The guy said they only have this sale twice a year and for one day only. Sorry I couldn't give more notice about it but there's still a few hours left before they close.

RustBucket · 03-15-2007, 04:12 PM

So does anyone have a list of filters that will fit the 22re block?

Oops, maybe that was just a regional thing. Oh well be sure to read the fine print, sale hours may vary, offer void in some states.

Starbuck3733T · 03-16-2007, 08:18 AM

Pardon my dumb on this one, but can you just pull the dipstick to see how dirty the oil is?

I know the place I'm having my inpsection done (i bought the trukc out of state, where they don't do inspections) is probably going to give me a big "WTF" look when I hand them a filter that's bigger than the old one, but they're a very good local shop. I trust them a lot further than I can throw them.

In fact, I called to schedule the appt and asked if they'd also lube the zerks and shafts, JR's response was "we do that anyway!". This is why I like them... they think of stuff before I do.

Starbuck3733T · 03-16-2007, 12:57 PM

Full mobile 1 synthetic + napagold FIL1516, Oil is in, zerks are lubed...

I fired it up and immediately noticed that there was less engine noise, and it just felt smoother. I guess thats the M1. Time will tell with the filter.
