In the mid '80s, ND downsized most of their Toyota factory filter cans. NDs new "Crystaline coated" element uses a most unusual pleating design, which Toyota and ND claim has much greater surface area in a smaller element. 90915-20004 & 08922-02004
use this construction. This is the filter I prefer to use.
Then came the 90915-YZZB5....it has a totally different type
of filtering media. "The material is a pulp...formed under water
using a vacuum" when I read that my first response was also
WTF? How do these guys in Japan think this stuff up? This is also
a very good oil filter...don't get me wrong. I'm just not 100% sure I want to use it in my Supra because of the excess oil pressure
created by extended high RPM's.
08922-02011 is the Toyota filter made here in the States
by Puro/Denso. It also uses the pleated paper design like the
2 Japanese produced filters. I use this filter on my wife's
4Runner every 3-4000 miles...works great. I've used it also
on the Supra.
IMO the oil (Royal Purple) is more important than what Toyota
filter part number you use.
Hope this helped
