So first question, why does toyota not use a conventional screw on oil filter?
I currently have a 98 Z71 6" lift and 35's, true duals and a hypertech. And a highly modded 99 GTP. Those both will go bye bye when I get the Tundra.
Take care, and thanks for having me.

I've been told it has to do with EPA regulation crap. The paper filter holds less residual oil than a metal canister filter. Take it for what its worth. I think it's BS and would still like to have a spin on (only for ease, though). I've been told that the cartridge filters are usually more rugged and have hier efficiency, but I think efficiency just depends on the media characteristics (filter type, surface area, etc).
