I remember seeing a thread for this before the hack, does anyone remember what car the oversize filter we can use in the stock location came out of? From what I recall it was several cars and the filter fit perfectly while still being almost 50% bigger than the stocker!
Oversize Oil Filter Part Number
- Thread starter kamil
- Start date
I heard the 1UZ filter is bigger, but for K&N filters it has the same exact part number as the 7M
it is the Lexus oil filter. But it is no longer made. you MIGHT be lucky and find one. I use TRD ones.
Hmm no, it was something like a 90-95 mercury? I honestly can't for the life of me recall what cars it came from (there were about 3 or 4 listed in the thread) but it fit perfectly in the stock location yet was much bigger than our regular filter...
I use filters made for pretty much any 80's-90s VW Golfs, Jetta's. They are the same diameter but about 1-2 " longer and they also have a built in bypass valve like the stock one. They fit great. The Purolator part number is L 20252. I think that number crosses over to Fram, Quaker state and other brands.
Also a Lexus V8 filter Pn PH16, should work too but I havent tried it yet.

I dont think that exact # crosses over to fram and the like, however what K&N does for their filters is give equivilent #s from the same filter from a different company since most of the auto shops dont have books that include K&N part numbers, just Purolator, Fram, and the like.
For example, the exact K&N filter #s for the MkIII are Fram's PH3614 / DG3614 / PH7575 and PH966B; the Purolator ones are L10028 / L1024...meaning all of these that are listed have the same thread size and could potentially be used on a 7M.
Oh, and for the record, the K&N oil filter for the 7M-GTE is HP-1002. Might want to sticky this.

the wix filters are bigger than the fram ones but im not shure if the turbo supra wix filter is the same size as the n/a ones
Dont know why anyone would be using a Fram though...I've only heard horror stories from them..
If you love your baby, nothing less than Purolator / K&N / Mobil 1 etc. should be used IMO.

Purolator L20195 -- Found it written on an old piece of paper at the bottom of one of my drawers when I was cleaning 
This sucker is 2x the size of our stock filter and fits perfectly in the stock location!
