Hey guys-
I've been off line for a while, but I thought I'd share that I've been using the NAPA FIL1516 for years without issue. It seems to work just fine on the 3.4L:

I feel lame, I had my oil change done today, its cold out, and snowing, and I don't ever feel like doing it in an apartment lot... Mobil 1 again, last was same 3000 miles ago.. looked pretty dirty, either way though, i don't even know what kind of filter is on it

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

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...

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.
