Oil Filters
Not sure I can get those here but we do have a NAPA. Didn't make much sense that a Toyota filter would change the reading. Yes my sender is in question. Reminds me to go check my oil level. I just crossed the 100 mile mark on the tripometer.

ALL filters cause a change in pressure. Pressure == resistance to flow.
 There are much worse things to run than the newer Toyota filters, but they're not very good and you can get much better for close to the same price. I don't remember how to tell the difference other than taking them apart. The old style used a varied density foam-like medium and the newer are paper. They haven't been available in North America for some time so unless it had a half inch of dust on the box when you picked it up it's unlikely it one of the famous ones... it's a shame too because they were supposed to be VERY good filters. Anyone here uses a FRAM and I'm coming to get ya!

I just picked it up from the mechanic this morning. I had him fix the A/C while he had it. He said the oil looked good but there was a wad of paper in it. It didn't look like paper from an oil filter either. He said to just drive it and keep an eye on the gauge. I drove down to Rolla today and it seemed to be doing fine for the whole 3 hours. I'm just hoping there's no more paper in it.

Sabotage
Sorry for the double post. After 350 miles. I have experienced little to no oil loss in my Supra. I guess that clenches it. Someone had to have drained it of oil without my permission or knowledge. If I have lost any it is less than a quarter quart so it is hard to measure any closer than that....Makes no sense. I guess someone hates me.

Wix (NAPA Gold to be precise) right now because I got a good deal on several. I think next I'll probably try out Amsoil's EaO filters. I change my filters more often than I change oil so it makes sense to move to something with a finer medium, but I'm trying to find something that's not too expensive... Otherwise I'd go with a nice expensive Canton filter system. I'm ALWAYS learning when it comes to oil and filtration.... maybe I should go with a dual head setup. Sorry, I'm a little scattered right now.
