Sajack Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Why did they have to reinvent the oil filter instead of using a regular spin-on type like most other vehicles for the past 50 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX400h Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 This vehicle does use a cartridge-style filter, as seen in the link, above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I’m referring to the old conventional one-piece spin-on type that most cars have used for decades like my 2002 LS430 uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see. Some manufacturers, such as BMW have been using cartridge-style oil filters for years. One advantage is that you can examine to filter media to see if it is catching anything of interest.
