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:

It's the 209 and not the 205. A typo maybe?

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

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...

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.

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.
