Can someone please let me know what the oil filter problem was that was discussed on this Forum some time ago. I think Doc had some ideas about the "white ones".
Sorry I can't seem to find the relevant Thread.

Having some issues with possible low oil pressure after an oil/filter change (no not the Mini).

The one I won't buy is Fram, this vid and the other links on the page is why....

As for Ryco, these, the Cooper filters and many others sold here now they all come from China- so why pay more for a Ryco...

I buy Wix filters from Karcraft now, if you buy a dozen they are cheaper.
Better than a Fram.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNDpzyu0 ... re=related

Yeah that's an old filter thread, but there was another or more that's more recent.
I reckon these days Wix are great, they are not made in China either-
parent company is American but their Mini ones are made in Poland.
At $5 or so if you buy in quantity, why pay $11+ for a Ryco...

Thanks for all your responses. All good info.
I am wondering though if anyone has had any oil pressure/delivery problems with Ryco brand oil filters?

I understand that some Toyota owners are happy with the new motors that Ryco paid for.

can you buy the canister type oil filter in the Wix variety local then??

that is, the non screw on disposable type all in one filter

if so where? I am open to trying all types of improvment just now, cheers

Nope, if you have a canister (it's an auto, right?) just buy the regular filters from Karcraft.
GP236/1 suits the MiniMatic, their price is under $10.
Change the oil often and the filter too. Like, 2,000 miles max.

Spin-on filters are not available for these automatics, they won't stand the oil pressure in the box's hydraulic system.
People in the US and Japan have tried...

thanks Doc

I'm onto the oil changes for the auto yes - have done 3 in the 2months or so she's been mobile again, just to flush out the crap - have been using a ryco oil filter tho and was open to suggestions, ta

I think Karcraft's `matic filters are Coopers, according to my current cattledog.
I would trust them more than current (Chinese) Ryco filters.
