Oil filters for a 2H

Post by granite »

G'day All
Having searched with no success, does anyone have a suggestion as to a brand and supply of oil filters to suit a 2H? Bought one from Repco the other day - $40!! Surely there has to be cheaper in price, but still have quality? Would even buy 10 - 20 at a time if that helped. Any ideas or opinions greatly appreciated.
Cheers

I used to buy mine from Super Cheap $26 (Valvoline) , they would last a month & start to leak.
I now buy mine from autopro or repco for $30 & i have no problems with them

I used to buy ryco's from repco/bursons at around $20-$25. Now i buy genuine toyota's from the dealership for ~$30 ($28 maybe?)

$40 is outrageous.

I don't know if there is an advantage to OEM filters but there is definitely
a difference, Those who doubt me buy both a genuine and aftermarket filter and cut them open and see for yourself, I have.

I owned a 60 series with a 2H and it ran a Z9 filter, which is common to about 40 different engines and costs about $10, I know that oil filter conversion housings exist maybe I had one, and at $40 a filter maybe you should look at buying one.

z9 is a really basic cheap and nasty filter. I can guarantee the Z161X filter does a much better job than a z9

Why do I bother? every time you offer advice on this forum you have to deal with an onslaught of "EXPERTS", but anyway for the good of the public I will struggle up the courage to carry on.

Z161X is a filter sizing, just as Z9 is also a filter sizing not a brand of filter, the quaility of the filter is down to which ever company has manufactured your filter (be it Z161X or Z9).

Now i'm not here to sing the praises of Z9's, but on the cheap and nasty comment maybe you should investigate the cost of a Z161X. They come in at around $13-$14 compared to $9-$10 for a Z9, I'm not sure how much extra quaility your getting for this massive extra cost. I suspect (but I must remind everyone I'm not an "EXPERT") that this savings cost is due to the massive number of vehicles that the Z9 goes in.

Z161X is a filter sizing, just as Z9 is also a filter sizing not a brand of filter, the quaility of the filter is down to which ever company has manufactured your filter (be it Z161X or Z9).

Now i'm not here to sing the praises of Z9's, but on the cheap and nasty comment maybe you should investigate the cost of a Z161X. They come in at around $13-$14 compared to $9-$10 for a Z9, I'm not sure how much extra quaility your getting for this massive extra cost. I suspect (but I must remind everyone I'm not an "EXPERT") that this savings cost is due to the massive number of vehicles that the Z9 goes in.

Thanks for your guarantee I will take it on board, where would we be without our "EXPERTS"?
Maybe the same quality (even though i believe the z9 is made in asia wheras the z161x is made in NZ - probably no difference to quality though), but isn't the z9 a fair bit smaller? Less media - less filtration maybe. Or maybe just shorter life.

For the last time, Z9 and Z161X are just sizings, they are not brands. And don't be so ignorant as to suggest that an filter made in asia is of a lesser quaility than one made in New Zealand, I don't see our roads packed with car built in New Zealand.

Yes i know that...my main point was that i believe the z161x is bigger than the z9, so could offer better filtration or longer life.

wow

you must be an expert on filters?

When I researched this topic for myself about 4 years ago, I went to the ryco website and downloaded the datasheets on both the Z9 and the z161 that ryco make.

Guess what, the Z9 is designed to filter to 30 microns, the z161 is designed to filter to 20 microns.

They seem to have updated thier site and the datasheets are no longer available (well i couldnt find them anyway).

So the fact is, the Z9 is an inferior filter to the z161x, and the z334 used on the 1hz. Yet people seem to think they can buy this adapter and then get away with using really cheap filters. Thats great, except your destroying your engine so you can save $10 on a filter.

BEE-JAY, dont be so ignorant to suggest that toyota would put a z161x on the engine, if a z9 could do the same job.

Also, I believe the Z9 specification does not call for high temperature filter paper, whereas the z161 and z334 do.

You can call ryco directly and they will happily send you the literature of any of thier filter's performance.

Why do you bother? Dont know, but next time dont.

:lol: :lol: :lol: You guys are pulling yourselves, your talking about a bloody old 2H, they aren't exactly the pinacle of technology nor so fragile that slightly incorrect oil filter selection will harm them!!!! Just put on any oil filter and be done with it!! :roll:

This is why I don't like to post, no matter what you say you will always end up in an argumentative loop with a halfwit that knows everything but can prove nothing, now to repeat myself again.

I AM NOT HERE TO SING THE PRAISES OF THE Z9.

It is amazing that you have seen the fact sheets on these filters that don't exsist anymore, but that doesn't matter after all your an "EXPERT" so I would have no reason not to trust you.

Now I'm quite sure that an "EXPERT" such as yourself knows that there is a little more to filters than simple stating a micron count (although we were really impressed by that). Is that a nominal or an absolute count? is there a difference? what is it (try answering without using google)?

Don't come on here with a lot of unproven bullshit in an attempt to make me look silly because your daddy told you that Z9's are crap, If they are so bad why are they used on the B series engines ( the engine used in dyna, coaster and landcruiser, Toyota's commercial engine which is a dam sight more advanced that the 2H and 1HZ which are both N/A light duty engines used only in landcruisers, one can only assume that a turbo charged engine is harder on it's oil thatn a light duty N/A engine, But hey what do I know your the "EXPERT").

Please readers don't be foolish enough to take at face value the advice offered by anyone on this or indeed any other internet forum, If you believe that there is some sort of massive difference between a $10 or a $13 aftermarket paper element filter, or that toyota would jeopardise their entire commercial fleet but ensure that the 2H has the correct filter needed then by all means take shadows advice.

And finally for the last time (I hope) Z9 and Z161X are simply filter sizings, they do not represent the quality of the filters, It is the manufacturer who decideds the quality of the filter.

(How on earth did I get involved in this crap, if you want a good filter buy a good brand, not a good size(what ever one of those is?))

ryco z161 20micron nominal

ryco z9 30 micron nominal.

I dont doubt that there are Z9 filters out there that perform much better than ryco's z9, and much better than ryco's z161 and toyotas own z161, but are you still going to pay $10? i doubt it.

Ryco only make the Z9, Valvolines equivalent filter is a V01 from memory and Toyotas has a different number again. I run aZ9 on a 1HZ and have done for over 100,000km with no problems at all, and beats paying $28-45.00 for a Z334 or a genuine Toyota filter.I get my oil sample tested every 5000 km change and the is no difference in the readings of contaminants or metal particulates since changing to the supposed (cheap and nasty filter) If the Z9 is the preferred filter for 100-200 vehicles it think the quality of it's filtering capabilities speak for themselves.
