TRD Filter Information

[Ridgemanron]

As mentioned by me on another thread, a highly
rated filter for our Elise is the one offered by Toyota.
It is their TRD oil filter for our Elise. I was able to
locate a dealer at www.toyotaworld.com and found
the following info under TRD, plotting in the part #
PTR14-00000-06 which has the same application as
our Toyota Filter 90915-YZZF1. The filters are $12
each. They do ask for a vin number when you order
via 'cc' but if you plot in 17 zeros, it will satisfy their
system. Not sure if the PTR number is just for this
dealer or for Toyota nationally. They also had an 800
number - 800-327-2087.

Consider it a bit of payback for you guys
not going down without a fight at 'The Alamo'!
Think of how many more Taco Bell's there would
be throughout the land if Santa Ana got through
Texas and branched out quickly, scooping up all
the best fast-food sites.

When you're born in Brooklyn, you are a militia
member for life. I figure we can line up all of
Mark's cars across Flatbush Avenue and hold em'
off as they cross the bridge coming into Brooklyn.
My car is 'definitely' available to run off to Fort
Hamilton for more troop replacements if needed.

ron-
please post a follow-up when you receive that filter from toyotaworldotcom.

i pinged a connection that i have at a high volume toyota dealer (he's the parts mgr) and gave him the part number (90915-YZZF1). he told me the retail on that part is $26 and my "deep discount" is $21. he said that the trd parts don't have high margin, as opposed to the regular toyota parts. he's above and beyond being a straight up guy, so i'm really, really curious what exactly you're going to get for the $12.

btw-the other toyota filter prices out at $5.XX.

any

Today they shipped out the two filters I
ordered. Coming from Texas to NY via Fed Ex Ground
the total charge was $31.50. The filters are listed at
$12 each. There shouldn't be any problem with the
filter fitment since they coordinate precisely to the
standard Toyota one I had been using (90915-YZZF1).
The TRD part number, according to the 'Toyota World'
dealership, is PTR14-00000-06. I'll post more info when
they arrive.

90915-YZZF1 same up as a (THE) TRD part. would you mind taking a photo of the filter box's label and posting it? i suspect the that the PTR14... is an internal part number, not a toyota part.
thanks.

I don't have a working camera for my computer.
I suggest you call 'Toyota World' at their 'free'
800 number and ask them specifics. Perhaps they
could e-mail you photos. P.S. There are photos of
their part numbers on site, as well. Their number is
800-327-2087.

There are two versions of the TRD oil filter -- the "better" one is the JDM version and it costs more than $12......guaranteed. Differenet part # than listed by Ron also.

Jack: I followed up on your lead and did find the one
you mentioned. It was $20.19 for each filter at:
www.nengun.com/trd/sports-oil-filter
The part number for our 2ZZ engine is 90915-SP010

[zcar222]

So... I bought the version of the celica filter from japan for $10 a filter. I wonder which is better. You might just be paying extra for the TRD logo on that one.

Not only that, but Jack is right when he says there
is a Japan 'better' version of the TRD filter. I found it
for $20.19 each, under Part # 90915-SP010 @
www.nengun.com/trd/sports-oil-filter

so three filters available. street prices, $5, $12 and $20. interested to know what structural/service differences actually exist. my parts guy was not entirely impressed with the "trd" filter, vis-a-vis the regular toyota filter.perhaps for this application it may have some increased value. i'm not an expert.

Since all three are Toyota products, perhaps someone
affiliated with them can explain the differences between
them. I would assume that as the price goes up, the
filtering ability should as well. It's not as if we are talking
about three different manufacturers here.

[ace10]

there COULD be three different manufacturers producing white label products for toyota.

Does anyone here recommend the K&N oil filter for the Elise? I like the 1" nut on the bottom for easier installation/removal.
