    Can't post a link to the YouTube vid, but the title is

    All you need to know about Toyota and Lexus Parts. How to find deals?

    At about 6:20, there's a surprising statement I didn't know - I've been using their oil filters under the YZZ part numbers. It's the ONLY type of filter I've gotten when I go to the dealer and say I need a filter.

    Apparently, the filters with YZZ is NOT the same as the filter that comes on their cars/trucks AS FIRST INSTALLED when new - he doesn't make clear how you can get the ORIGINAL, other than to say it's pretty hard to find.

    Yeah I've been using fram what 4397 for about I don't know man the '80s you know they're like $4 or something. Funny thing isn't 44 years I've never had an oil-related hiccup or failure seems like the last area where things really and truly fail and when they do things are worn out and it was time engine oil and our filters are not going to stave off that kind of wear and things that time produces generally speaking.
