Hey guys. How big is the glanza oil filter i got one and it is smaller then my index finger lol?

Part number is - 90915-YZZC7

Is this correct? I mean it is an oil filter you can tell but is it suppost to be this small?

Posted

Same as above, they are definitely small. For part number pretty sure they are same as 4EFE.

Wait for a confirmation though.

10k mark since last service? naughty naughy

Change mine every 2-3k, but with this bleak weather next change will be at 4-5k :)

well i change wee bits every so often but oil hasnt been fully changed but was leaking so its not really 10k old as i had to keep topping it up :) still bad though. cant find my filter tool so how hard are they to get off by hand ??

The first time I ever removed my oil filter (as it left Japan) it was a nightmare, I stabbed a screw-driver and painstakingly removed it within 30+mins. I got oil everywhere including belts, floor, hand etc.. I LOL'ed when I had finished it all. Henceforth I had ordered a oil filter cup from Dave but this was lost in the post.

But now that I do have this beauty it's made life much easier, when putting filter on I hand tight it. But the worst thing is I gain strenght from somewhere whilst doing this which proves difficult when removing on next service. All hail the filter cup :):D

yeah just put it on hand tight and remember to put some oil on the filter seal, if u do it every 3k u can normally get them off by hand too, well i can get them off by hand

what oil do all you guys use? i want something decent, ive spent last half hour reading posts but noone states and names?? also, is that oil filter cup specific to glanza oil filters or a universal size??? cheers guys.

i had a filter cup but couldnt find it so i did the screwdriver and got oil all up my arm and the handle of the screwdriver pulled off but tis done. did find 1 little bit of metal on my magnetic plug tho so not sure if its from engine wear ( hope not ) or when i had the sump off and was scrapin the old gasket stuff off ( hope so ) will soon see is something fails. :)

i use silkolene pros 5w 40 good stuff and not to bad priced. on offer quite alot at opie oils.

^^chris i use 5w 30 its spot on mate, and go to toyota for it :)

and also if you get rid of the a/c and relocate the air filter the oil filter is a lot easier to change :D

Dont really have to go to toyota for it ^ (for the price they charge you could probably get something much better)

opie has some top offers on, silkolene seems to be choice of most people
