JDM Cool Oil Filters

[bababooey]

Reading things like that doesn't give confidence in a major corp backing up their product. That's horseshit considering some may get warranties with blowers and track laps

[OnkelC]

the JDM TRD Oil filter would be the best of both worlds, then.

For the price of one TRD filter. You could have 10 oem filters.

The TRD filter used to cost less than OEM here in NZ.

I think now it's only a tiny bit more expensive.

No, the HKS probably isn't worse than stock. But it's just red tape one needs to be cognisant of. Personally I would just keep a stock toyota filter on hand to screw in before the truck arrives if you're really worried about your engine. If it's stock don't worry about it

Please educate yourself on the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.


As long as the oil/oil filter used meets the requirements they can't deny the warranty because factory parts weren't used unless the are willing to provide the OEM oil/oil filter for the entire warranty period.

Magnuson-Moss SHOULD protect you.

However, in reality, dealerships deny warranty work for a bunch of stupid reasons that make no sense. Then it is up to the customer to either lawyer up and fight the dealership on the basis of Magnuson-Moss, or try to find a better dealership. Either way, you end up being out time and possibly a nice chunk of money.

We're talking about oil filters right?
What about cabin filters? Is there a TRD version?

Oh man, another 'mag moss warranty act' pass. Brother you don't need to get all high and mighty with me. I am an accounting manager at the corporate level for a billion dollar corporation. I work with more legal codes every week than most do during the whole year.

Don't take our advice and continue to run that oil filter. It's safe to assume nothing will happen. We're just warning to as to what b.s. dealerships can push back with- we never argued that dealerships would be SUCCESSFUL in their contention, nor have we ever argued the merits of your damn overly expensive pink filter.

It'll all be worth it for that sweet ass-oil filter though.

OOohhh, an accounting manager!


And I'm responsible for all documentation for equipment from a $1xx,xxx,xxx company that must comply to all ANSI, OSHA, API, etc, regulations that go on huge industrial equipment, so I'm not particularly impressed.


I don't run that filter and didn't say I did. I hope you pay better attention to your spreadsheets at work.

So you're an operations manager or fixed asset/QC specialist? Cool. I oversee a whole team for those types of things. Documenting such equipment in such a rigid framework is the hardest thing ever, must come with a lot of decisions you make daily. Things change significantly when you move from medium sized business to a large operator, so come back to me when you guys are pulling 10 digit flows

Never tried to impress you by the way. Just saying don't act like I'm not aware what a oft-misquoted or misinterpreted law is. That's all. You seem to skim over the details of people's arguments/suggestions, though. So let me try this one more time:

I'm not saying you do run that filter; just don't be surprised if the dealership gives you shit about a safety part such as your oil filter given an instance where your motor has issues. That is all we are saying, yet you still keep pushing back like you're trying to justify that purchase so bad. Go ahead bud. Hope you don't stress out this much over every single purchase

I have no intention of running a gimmick filter. OEM is fine for me. If I was concerned about the warranty I wouldn't have a bunch of stuff on the car that already voids it.
