1. Check Valve
2. No more expensive than anything else. (I get 'em for $3.90 each!)
3. Toyota genuine parts (except oil filters, I suppose) are FTW.
Edit: Read next post. I still have a stash of the old P/N. So until I run out of those, that's what I'm using.

Not much you can do when you get a defective part...that happens with ALL major manufacturers, including Toyota. Hopefully Purolator will come through and stand behind their product.
You guys that like Toyota filters...the new ones are made in Thailand. It's a mediocre filter at best....take a look at this thread:

IMO, Wix and Purolator make the best filters out there. It sucks Mmmboost got a bad one...personally I think it's an isolated incident.

thats the same that i think. ive been using these things for years, and never a problem. imho its still one of the best filters out there, and i will be using one when i get my motor fixed again.
The second part number listed is one of the Japanese filters. They aren't available anymore in the US as far as I know.
Jdub, what about the Champion Labs built filters? (Mobil 1, Bosch, etc) I've been using the Bosch filters for a few years with great results thus far
Speaking of filters and Toyota's Thailand-made ones. Has anyone ever looked at Denso's oil filters for comparison to Toyota's Japan/Thailand-made filters?
150-1002 is the OEM spec filter, and 150-1003 is the taller filter a lot of guys run ("V8" filter).
I was considering ordering a few Denso filters, but haven't really heard much about them.
EDIT: Looking into it, reading a study right now.

They don't really get into which one is best, but the Denso one seems better than the Thailand ones anyways, and is made in the USA.

wish we could get our hands on those first filters as they seem to be the most durable of the bunch...
denso is seems pretty good by that thread, and they bash the fram as usual LOL
shouldn't the BPV have stopped the filter from bursting? defective parts do happen, but this sucks...

Yeah, there are some crazy Land Cruiser guys importing 90915-20004 filters from Japan (where Toyota still sells them and they are still used on new cars).
On a somewhat similar note, it looks like I can probably still get 90915-10004 filters, so I'm gonna order myself 20 or so of those!
(Factory Japan-made taller 4-cylinder Toyota filters for my AE86, woot).
EDIT: Looks like the 90915-10003 filters are still available too.

Get a lawyer and that repair quote and be ready to slap it in their face.

Mobil 1 is an excellent filter...synthetic media and stout construction. The K&N is similar, but uses conventional paper media.
The difference is cost...a Wix or PureOne is just as good (or better) performance wise for less $$$.

Yes, it should have. Appears to be a filter with a couple of defects...bad BPV and weak seam holding the case to the filter base.
Jeff - is the filter you cross referenced a Denso resin media like the 2nd filter shown in my thread and is it compatible (diameter/length) with the 7M filter head ? If it is resin media, it is an excellent filter as well...what is the price per filter?
Just an FYI - the Amsoil EaO filter is superb...it's turning out numbers superior to all of the above, but is quite expensive in comparison (~$16 each). It's a Donaldson spun micro-glass synthetic media...I'll have to look into it to see if Donaldson makes the same filter for less.

They're about $3.50 each.
Common Toyota Applications:
150-1000 = Toyota 90915-YZZF2 (Smallest filter, 4A-FE, 1ZZ-FE, 3S-FE, etc)
150-1001 = Toyota 90915-YZZF1 (Taller filter, 4A-GE, 2ZZ-GE, 3S-GTE, etc)
150-1002 = Toyota 90915-YZZD1 (Shorter "large" filter, stock for Supras, 2JZ-GE, 22R-E, etc)
150-1003 = Toyota 90915-YZZD3 (Larger "V8" Filter, also used on the newer V6's)
