TRD Oil filter kit?

Does the TRD filter housing/filter kit (PTR43-52090) allow for using the stock oil filter?

It looks like the housing is much easier to remove with a standard ratchet, and it's only $15 or so.

Er... are you sure it comes with the housing? It seems that the item you linked to is just the filter itself.

Descriptions are real inconsistent, and read somewhat as a catch-all. I think you may be right. It looks like it's just a generic picture with several different part numbers.

Yeah... the $15 TRD filter is just the filter, not the housing. It goes in the stock filter housing.

I bought a 64mm filter wrench (Assenmacher TOY640) that fits the oil filter housing like a glove.

Question related to filters: Is it better to buy the OEM filters or one that is sold at AutoZone or Kragen?

Given that they are pretty cheap to begin with, I just stick with OEM.

How much are they at AutoZone? I just picked up a 10-pack of OEM filters from a dealership in VA (through eBay) for $42 shipped. My local dealership wanted $8 each...

I only use WIX filters... Best on the market, period. You can get them anywhere, and I think the part number is 57062... Either way, they are only a few bucks a piece.
