Anyone have practical comparison between FRAM air filter and the Denso
I found a FRAM Extra Guard air filter for around $16 and my local Toyota dealer is charging $25 for the OEM Denso version. Is it worth the $9 difference?
I'm not sure which OEM filter set you need, but I did a search on eBay for TOYOTA OEM OIL FILTER, and the first his was a box of ten filters for $40.
This is for an oem air filter. Toyota part 17801-0D020.
Okay, search for TOYOTA COROLLA OEM OIL FILTER.
You can do better than the dealership, and get OEM stuff.
LOL -- I don't think the genuine Toyota oil filter would work very well as an air intake filter.
You're probably right about that.
Perhaps my suggestion would have worked better if the search string was TOYOTA OEM AIR FILTER, instead of OIL filter.
Give this a whirl...
I actually ended up buying one on ebay yesterday just to compare quality.
I have always heard that while the Fram oil filters are crap, the air filters are fine.
By the way... OEM means original equipment manufacturer, IE any air filter made by Denso, whether or not it is for your car. You want the OE filter, IE the one for your car.
The one time where removing a word/letter from an acronym makes it more specific.
