I hate the new filters. They’re on more than you think. My John Deere combine has one. 9560sts


Jeeps have em. They suck. The housing will also fail. The. You’ve got that to replace. The spin on canister is far superior.

Haven’t ran into the ones with the spring needing a tool. Sounds lame

In fairness, Toyota has a well deserved reputation for building the most reliable and longest lasting cars there are.

I seriously doubt their version of an oil filtration device retainer is heads and shoulders better than the competiton.


They are guilty of over design for the sake of reliability. While a BMW will some what commonly have their oil pump come loose, leak and cause “engine failure”, on a Camry you need a special tool just to remove the oil filter.

Oil pump leak? Oil pumps are attached to the block, pump oil through a passageway way milled into the block and are accessed by removing the oil pan so they aren’t known to leak. But to come loose because an engine assembly technician failed to properly torque it to specification, that’s certainly possible. But the most likely cause of a BMW oil pump coming loose is because the engine spent a large amount of time reving over 6000 rpm’s. Keep in mind most BMW’s rev around 2800-3300 at 70 mph.

And, if Anthony drives it for ten, twenty or thirty years, he may save enough to buy a sense of humor…….

Ok I smiled a little at that.

Owned 2 German cars. Not doing that again.

#1 - the German engineering expires with the warranty, if not before
Pretty much.
#2 - everything is difficult to do yourself or requires special tools
Mostly true with a few exceptions.
#3 - everything is expensive... parts, maintenance, service
Absolutely

Do they drive awesome? Yup. Are they worth the extra $$$? Nope.
