As tight as a virgins daughter?
Not sure I buy into this bigger is better. The oil has still got to go through the same size "pores" in the filter medium. The only advantages are that the filter may be a little less restrictive and that you would have to replace it less often. Unless your oil pump is shot, you're still going to be sucking the same volume of oil each rotation of the pump because oil has a fixed volume (whereas air in your intake has less of a fixed volume and can be "stretched" under vacuum). The only advantage of less pumping loss, but I'm certain changing between filter size will result in a difference in pumping loss much too small to measure, let alone feel.

I'm using the larger one simply because it cost the same as the smaller one at my dealer so I figure why not?

Here's another study, this one done by the Milwaukee School of Engineering - not Toyota specific, but good info when choosing between the different brands

a little lube tech trivia here...
Those 1 qt filters that the old fords use.... usually a #1 in filter manufacturer numbers, will fit nicely on the 22r/e motors.
It will also work on the 4.7 v8s.
wont work on any of the v6 motors purely due to clearance issues.

I figured, its the same price as the stock filter (Had the stock filter pt # on my recept). I run my amsoil for 8,000km before I change, so its just added insurance.
