Another 5.7 oil filter cartridge thread..

Upon removal of the aftermarket metal filter housing then removing the media I heard a couple of metal pieces hit the container (spring & cap) Too bad I didn't see their orientation.
Anyone recognize the cartridge innards and their orientation ??
I took some pics based on my best guess on how they lay in the housing.
How far im I off ???

 

That looks correct. That being said, Carcarenut (Toyota master tech on YouTube for those who don’t know him) states that he only recommends the OEM part, and even said that once the innards have come apart, the cap is no longer good. Many, including myself have done just fine with the metal aftermarket cap.

I should add that I did end up buying a new OEM cap after seeing his recommendation though.

 

The bypass valve information in the CCN video is not correct. Disassembling the cap is not detrimental to the bypass valve, which sits above the coil spring in the base that clips into the cap.

 

All parts were on when I bought the truck. Being that my 20 Camry V6 came with a plastic oem cartridge housing Wich I broke first oil change.it was extra tight from the factory. I'm leaving the metal unit till I have good reason to change it.

 

I have metal one and it has been working fine for last 5x oil changes.
I did start to 2nd guess myself because the CCN video as well but the stand pipe swap has not had any issues. The crap plastic housing that I have destroyed more than once on the other hand….

 

Toyota's rationale for using a plastic cap on the Tundra....
to save weight.

 

I also thought the information in red was funny.

 

A few ounces on 5500lb truck.
Ok, I'll buy that for a dollar.

 

Good seeing this, likely off to swap mine for the metal one next change or so, funny enough toyota dealer had toyota oil filters (shocker) but for $8 or so CAD, can't really beat that.
