Looking For A Good Transmission Filter 2001 Avalon

[crazyoildude]

Who makes a good transmission filter for a 2001 Toyota Avalon.. All my Local Toyota dealers seem to have to order them...

What about Purolater Or the auto Zone brand or even Napa ?

NAPA is a reboxed Wix filter...

 

[zrxkawboy]

NAPA is generally ATP.

who makes the Duralast (auto Zone) trans filter?

Beck Arnley ATF at Rock Auto is a very good filter at a very good price.

Toyota's supply chain system is phenomenal. I've rarely had to wait more than 2 days for a part; most of the time it's within a few hours. Maybe it's because I live very close to the San Ramon hub, but...

I would just go with the OE part. Skip the aftermarket stuff.

I used Beck Arnley from Amazon.com for our '05 Avalon. when I looked at the box, it indicated MADE IN JAPAN.

OEM if in doubt.

Changing a transmission filter is not needed. Toyotas have an automatic drain plug, just use that.

Is it even a filter? On my Sienna it's a metal rock catcher screen.
