This beautiful 2008 Toyota Highlander is another victim of a fake oil filter. The 3.5L V6 in this car developed a horrible ticking sound which was traced to an oil filter that came apart and caused damage to the variable valve timing gear!
Folks be careful with your parts purchases! Counterfeit parts are everywhere and you need to really be careful!
The ticking sound on this engine developed because of lack of oil from this oil filter which for lack of a better word just crumpled apart!

@tonymontana897 Год назад

Yep, and they unashamedly aid and abet such criminality. I wonder if they'd do anything about it if one was t report a vendor for selling such garbage. Here's some advice. If the price is way cheaper than dealer price, then most likely it is counterfeit. The Chinese are the masters of deception and fraud. You need to be a lot smarter than this. Don't enable these scumbags. Don't buy their products.

If I buy on EBay, I make sure the seller is an actual Toyota dealership that is an actual brick and mortar dealership in the US. The real OEM Toyota filter can not be compressed when laid on it’s side.

Lexus Master Tech here…I’ve seen similar on an RX 350 with the 2GR-FKS. Had VVT codes on both banks which is SUPER rare. Noticed an aftermarket metal oil filter cap (as opposed to OE plastic). Removed and there was no metal bracket inside the oil filter housing. The engine was sucking oil so hard it was collapsing the filter/ insufficient oil pressure to the VVT valves. Put on a factory filter cap and filter and fixed it. Scary!

@jimpie231 Год назад

Great video! Thanks for the info. I have a 2017 Toyota RAV4, since new I have used synthetic oil. I have changed the oil every 5,000 miles. Because I used synthetic oil, I decided to use a better oil filter than just any oil filter. When I did my on line research, I found that if I bought at least 6 filters at once, I could purchase 6@$30 including shipping from an out of state Toyota dealer. The car just reached 70,000 miles with no problems (changed Tran oil at 65,000 miles) and all is well. AMD I follow your recommendations to the letter. Nowadays my grandson does my oil changes in my garage, I supply everything (I can still do that, I’m 76 years old) and all the other car stuff. This summer we changed the front brake pads. This year I’m starting a new oil change routine because we don’t drive as much as before. We are changing oil 2 times a year, October 15 and April 15, more or less, once before the winter and once after the winter (I live in a Chicago NW suburb)…….Thanks for your guidance, God bless you!!!

I buy Toyota oil filters and other parts directly from a local dealership. As in, I walk in, go to the parts counter, and buy what I need. I find that what the dealership charges is completely reasonable. I agree, people have a misconception that the dealerships overcharge for parts. They make this assumption, without actually walking into the dealership and asking about the cost. Just because you had a bad experience with a salesman doesn't mean that the parts counter will rip you off as well.

That unraveling cannot happen with those flat round ends that came around and kept the filter together. They don't make them anymore. They were made in the USA. The new version of the filter from Mobil1 is from South Korea and the retaining ends are gone + there are way fewer pleats, which means fewer quare inches of filtering media.

@flagmichael Год назад

A question that I would like to see an expert answer (CCN would be great!) - does air filter restriction affect mixture in modern fuel injected engines the way it did in carbureted engines? I wouldn't think so.

@reallifeengineer7214 Год назад

@@flagmichael In a gasoline engine, when you increase throttle, it is the air-feed that increases. Car measures the amount of air going through (MAF), and calculates how much fuel to add. If the air filter is more restrictive, then simply less air would go through the air filter / throttle body / MAF sensor. Then less fuel will be shot, while maintaining AFR. If the air filter is less restrictive, then the opposite happens, whilst still maintaining AFR. (This is also why, when people add aftermarket turbo, they sometimes need to upgrade the fuel pump, fuel injectors, etc... to keep up with the amount of air.) Bad for the engine? If the filter is extremely unrestrictive and lets through contaminants, then yes. OR, let's say the filtrate is not "even", and has "low spots" where contaminants gets through, same thing. In diesel engine, the throttle controls how much fuel is dumped. Amount of air is calculated & added to maintain AFR. In this setup, if you have a bad air flow, then yes it's possible to put the AFR out-of-whack.

That would make sense if it wasn't stamped "Toyota" between the pleats.

I've been able to crush a few aftermarket oil filters when I was a lube tech at the Toyota dealership. You can tell if their last oil change was done by the dealership with quality parts, or done with cheap aftermarket parts sometimes. Also it's cool that some aftermarket companies have intentionally improved their quality on the Toyota canister-style oil filters.

@njsongwriter Год назад

What do you mean by canister style because the spin-on filters are canister filters but a lot of people call the cartridge style filters canisters...

@randyduncan795 Год назад

I fondly the remember the days of not worrying about my computer being hacked or my auto parts being counterfeit. I buy my Toyota oil filters online from a few different Toyota dealers including one locally. Those OEM filters are cheaper online at the dealer than aftermarket! Why wouldn't you buy OEM at that point? Thank you for the PSA showing the consequences of garbage parts.

Thank you for posting this video CCN! Please keep us updated on what you find if the vehicle comes back. I have a 2010 Rav4 with 2AR-FE engine exhibiting the same issue with the valve ticking. Some days it is there and some days it is not. I suspect as you mentioned the VVTi gear as mine exhibits the cold start rattle for 1 second on cold start.

@multirotormanish7220 7 месяцев назад

UPDATE: I had the same issue with my '10 RAV4 2AR-FE engine. At some point during the previous ownership the valve gasket was replaced with an aftermarket. I decided to change the valve cover gasket as it was leaking as well as the 3 o-rings under the valve cover with factory Toyota gaskets. I found the small o-ring to the oil supply missing. After replacing all 3 o-rings the tick is gone.

FYI, folks. Really worried me so I did a bit of research this morning. 2017 Lexus ES350, Part No. 04152-YZZA1 $7.54 at Walmart, $4.25 at my local dealer. Genuine parts at a lower price. Kinda a no brainer!

You can, but its on a separate assembly line than the Toyota filters. They are not the same.

@Hdrepairs Год назад

Exact same filter, just a different box. I can't believe the response this video is getting. It's laughable, probably squished the filter when he took it out and the engine oil level was low causing the tik. Why not just change the phasers that will solve the problem lol. Oem toyota filters come on give me a break. Like am I gonna use a stock oem oil pump on a ford 5.4ltr 3 valve or upgrade to the melling high output pump. Or change the oil cooler module on the pentastar engine with the plastic oem or the upgraded Dorman aluminum body.

I am always hesitant about buying aftermarket parts, especially for anything that makes the wheels turn. We do not know if it came from a reputable place or if it will fail prematurely. Yes, there is a place for aftermarket parts, like for example, plastic parts for the interior that does not affect the way it operates. I rather pay $50 for an OEM part that I know will last just as long as the original part, rather than an aftermarket part that costs $20 and not expecting a $2,000 repair due to the part failing. See it as a long term investment, rather than the short term. This video proves just that! Thank you for sharing that video!

@hossafat Год назад

I've been buying some ATF thru eBay. Always check out where it is coming from and it is usually a small shop. I assume they had extra from a case left over. I will have to stop that and buy from the dealer or some of the shops on Ebay that are dealers selling on eBay. It cost so much more at the dealer, but this was the last straw, I can't take a chance on counterfeits. Thanks for another video!!

The filters were checked. They’re clear. That’s why the covers were off. If you notice in the video showing the ticking sound there was oil dripping, that was with the tensioner cover off, sound is coming from bank 1 intake VVTI gear. The oil cooler line was replaced already and the common exhaust gear center coming off and hitting the front timing cover was not the case verified visually.

Believe or not, the filter was from the local Toyota dealer, I bought half dozen of them last year, and the guy gave me free washers for each box too. Does the dealer sell the fake filter? I don't know. But this oil filter video reminds me that the water pump in this Highlander have been replaced twice already. First time was replaced in the same local Toyota dealer, after couple years it failed. So I took it to my local mechanic shop (yes, for sake of the labor was cheaper than dealer), after that the mechanical guy said the water pump he took out wasn't the original Toyota parts..... what can I say......🤣🤣🤣

Mom and pop parts guy here. My family had a parts store since the early 50's. The first "foreign" parts we started stocking was filters for early 70's Datsun and Toyotas. We stocked an aftermarket brand, IAPCO. When the "Chinese hat" air filter came out for the 80's Nissan pickup, there was only OEM avail in our area...approx $25; lots of money in those days. Soon, IAPCO had it avail at about $6 our cost. I opened the box to check the quality and was surprised that they overboxed an OE Nissan filter, box and all.
