I was wondering if there is a larger oil filter that will fit my truck? The one the books call for are all small, but it seems like I remember a buddy of mine used a full size filter on his yota. Does anyone know for sure and can you give me a size that will fit? Thanks.

 

I use a Napa Gold 1516 on my 5VZFE, its for a 95 Ford Taurus 3.0L, but same threads and diameter just longer can. I think the 22re, 3VZ, and 5VZ take the same filters do they not?

I've heard of using a ford one on there but its a freakin oil filter.. they will all get the job done

 

I used one for a ford f-150 with a 302 on my old 22r. It was about twice the size of the stock one. I stopped using it because I found that it didn't really show any difference. I changed the oil every 3000 or close to it and it looked the same with either filter.

 

If you want to do something that will make a REAL difference, add an in-line cooler w/remote filter (some have dual filters).

 

Now that's an idea. Thanks for all the comments.

 

That would be a Motorcraft FL-1A, probably the most common Ford oil filter out there. The FL-300 is a shorter version used in the special service Mustangs and 2.3 Turbos with sandwich oil coolers. Just another option that is still larger than stock.

If I was changing the filter every second oil change, then I might opt for a larger one. Since I change both oil and filter every 5000-6000mi, I just use the little stock filter. Maybe I should change the filter every 10,000-12,000mi, though....

 

motorcraft FL-910 and FL-400 will work, the 400 is bigger. i used to work at a ford dealer and corss referenced the oil filters from our after market catalog for non ford cars

and the FL-1A won't work, the threads are way bigger, and i don't think the filter itself will fit in the filter location.

EDIT: i'm talking about the 22re

 

Mobil 1 filters are about $8 but the oil is clean after 5,000 miles. I tried it and it was very noticeable from the previous oil change (I used a Purolator before).

 

Does anyone know for sure whether or not the NAPA Gold 1516 will fit the 22RE engine?

 

The NAPA gold 1516 fits almost all rangers, mustangs, and some f-150's, so some of these guys are saying it will fit...go into your local napa and see. Ask for the 1516 master pack filter...it's much cheaper, the only difference is the master pack is wrapped in celophane, as opposed to a box. if not, ask for the 21516, that's their cheaper number. for the 3-5 bucks it will cost it won't break the wallet to find out if it fits or not.

 

you could spend $200.00 on a lifetime oil filter

 

yea, right.

 

purepower makes them, they have a stainless steel filter media

 

I've heard of those lifetime filters...only in use in motorcycles though. For the price of them though i'd just run regular filters plus what if they happened to have a defect or wear out after 500,000 miles ( we drive toyotas, i'm sure they didn't think of that ) ... lol

 

i think they would only fail in high wearing domestic vehicles, im sure all the bearing material would plug them up lol

 

I use NAPA gold 1515's for my 22RE-powered '86 4Runner. This is a direct cross-reference to Fram XG-8A's, which I've also used for years with no issues.

Hope this helps; the 1516 may be for the 5VZE, but, I'm assuming the threads may have changed or something -- search for XG8A or Napa 1515 and 22re in google -- some guy had made a website outlining all the various oversize oil filters from different brands which fit the 22re's.

You guys change your oil and filters? I just add a quart every now and then

 

Sounds like one of those continuous oil change programs huh? I used to work for a guy that was on that program.
