JDM Cool Oil Filters

[PeterFRS]

just use OEM filters..

Sorry, I'm just trolling..
Use whatever you like they're all reputable companies..
But I guess when time comes to get warranty claim through, might become a hassle

I just like the toyota service department coffee too much to be bothered ordering oil filters online

touché, good sir.

Pulled out the popcorn for that pissing contest.

That pink JDM filter though....

In all seriousness my dealership can try to pull some BS. Helps that I work with the Feds and childhood friends with several lawyers who love a challenge and can write quite the threatening document if the dealership tries to defy 15 USC § 2301

What about cabin filters? Is there a TRD version?

My google-fu has turned up no cool JDM or TRD cabin air filter. My inner fanboy is crying (sarcasm)

I want a cabin air filter by K&N.

Warranty protection would still be in effect for other parts of the cars"

Let them try to prove an HKS filter under performed and caused damage

If you've seen what's happened to some of the owners you'd know that statement doesn't mean much. You are at complete mercy of the dealer until things escalate to a much higher level.......

Just to add a small note to this, I will be getting oil changed at the dealership until my 100,000 mile / 7 year warranty expires.

I brought my car into the dealership after I got yet another exhaust leak. They tried to tell me the vehicle hadn't been properly maintained, but lost that due to service records since ownership have all be through the same dealer, and vehicle was bought CPO.

They finally tried to tell me it was clear I "Race the car" because I have aftermarket 225/40/r17 tires wrapped on the stock rims they told me were "aftermarket" at first.

End result, They are replacing my entire exhaust -- Header to muffler -- underwarranty on thursday and gave a stern warning because they had no footing. What was wrong? Bad gaskets. But the vehicle had an aftermarket overpipe (no other exhaust parts).

It sucks, but whatever. I'm not paying a dime for it so, whateves. I know it's not oil based, but it's the sort of crap dealers pull

Unless you have a very specific need to switch to a higher end filter the quality of the Tokyo Roki (OEM) is very good. Most every one on here who has tracked or done UOA has had no issues with filtration using them. This same(very similar) filter element was also used in the S2000, RX8 etc.
