90915-YZZG1


I used to install the 90915-YZZD1. The only problem with that one is engine noise. I went to poway toyota and told them about the problem and they gave me 90915-YZZG1 then engine ran more quiet and smoother than ever.

They told me there are more alternate toyota part numbers for our supras depending on maintenance purposes. The only reason why the other dealer gave me the D1 is because its the one that was commonly used.

Does either/both filters say "Made in Thailand" on the sides?

Did the parts guy explain to you the differences in the filters, or did he just bat out BS you would believe? ;)
Reason I ask is, I have a very hard time understanding how a filter could increase/decrease engine noise...please, by all means, educate me.

They changed a while back..


They changed production companies thats why. wix must not make yota filters anymore

Wix never made Toyota filters...they were a while back Denso Japan. Those were good filters. The ones made in Thailand are a significant drop in quality...I won't use them, except for may be the 1st filter on a engine break-in. The one I throw away after 100 miles ;)

[Justin727]

they did infact make some filters for toyota. Its been many years and I cannot recall when or which..


But I do not run yota filters anymore anyhow.. Wix or Purs

I'd like to see any documentation on that Justin. Denso Japan was the primary filter manufacturer for as long as I can remember, until they switched to the Thailand version.

jdub if I still worked for yota I would try my best to come up with something..


Sorry my friend haven't been with yota for a few years now... Nissan these days :(
