Is the Toyota 86 /FR-S Oil Filter the same?
I have recently had a problem with my Scion dealer here, so I'm looking to go to this other Toyota dealer to get my oil filters.
This Toyota dealer doesn't have thr Scion system so they can't confirm to me that it is the same part for the 86 and the FR-S. I don't see why it would be different but could somrone confirm to me it is indeed the same? |

They're the same.
It sounds like the type of dealer that asks if you drive a auto or manual when they offer you wiper blades too. |

....
Some Oil filters from different brands are different diameters. Meaning that you can hove two filters that will screw into the port and work and look drastically different.

The Subaru and Toyota filters are not the same.

I just wanted to double check that. I refuse to go to my Scion dealer after they tried to change the price on me for a job after I had already signed and paid something but before they started working on it. I was asking between Scion and Toyota, but thanks for letting me know. I did not know that. |

I just use WIX filters from the auto parts store. They work fine.

All FRS/86/BRZs use the same filters. The part numbers may change but other than a possible logo stamped on the case they are all the same thing.

I buy my Subaru oil filters for my 86 on eBay in bulk.
Works out much cheaper.

Scion dealers are dead, I know that, but Toyota dealers here that had Scion inside still have their Scion logos out here and the old non-Scion dealers try to get away with not dealing with Scions if they can. They still do, they just try to steer people somewhere else. |

Or. If you want to be a baller get a nice pricy K&N filter, Mobile 1, or any brand name filter.

They're different. They're even different sizes externally. The Subaru one is bigger. So here's how this is gonna go. You're gonna EMT me the cost of the two filters. I'm going to go to a Toyota dealer and buy the Toyota filter. Then I'm going to buy the Subaru filter. I'll take photos and post them side by side (they're different). Then I'll cut them open with a slitting saw and show you where the real differences are. If I'm wrong, I'll EMT you your money back. They're different, made in different factories. Or you could take my work for it. Or you could just look here. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=135234 Last edited by Tokay444; 10-16-2019 at 11:00 AM. |

And I thought the oil weight threads were ridiculous.

They will both work equally well. They ALL come with the Subaru one from the factory. The Toyota one is so slightly different it is meaningless.
