Oversize oil filter for 2002 Toyota Camry 2.4L?

[pacem]

Is there an oversize oil filter for 2002 Toyota Camry 2.4L?

 

[Gary Allan]

Check the Genrac thread ..it's got the same filter as your Camry.

 

[unDummy]

Yep, use the 4.7L Tundra(PH3614) oil filter.

The PH3600(Taurus Vulcan) size also fits. But, if your motor mounts quit, the filter could possibly smack the front cross member. You can check it yourself for clearance.

PH3614 is Fram. Any other choices?

What is the Genrac? Link?

[unDummy]

Yep, simply x-reference that popular size to ANY brand you want.

 

[pacem]

And how exactly do I cross-reference this FRAM filter? (PH3614)

 

[unDummy]

You go to the website of the brand you want and x-reference the part number.
You go to the autoparts store or department store and look up a vehicle that uses it. I even provided one for ease of cross referencing. Each store will have a list of brands that they carry along with the PNs.
You go to this website's search engine and punch in the number and read all the threads that mention it.

Theoretically, it sounds simple, in practice it's confusing.

apparently Fram PH3614 = Wix 51348, but it is not oversized.

This is on wixfilters.com. The 2002 Camry uses 2.4L or 2AZ-FE.

I think it's 2398cc if I pick it, I do get some filters, but none look oversized.

I would consider the wix 51396 instead of the 51348 since it filters better and is only a fraction of an inch thinner. I asked wix what its beta ratio was and they told me it should be identical to the 51356 ratio of 2/20=6/19 since its the same size and media.

it looks like a good filter, but it's not any longer than the standard filter?

Does it even make sense to get an oversized filter?

 

[leftlane]

It may be a half inch longer than stock but I dont know that for sure. The 51515 and 51516 are larger but they dont filter the smaller particles like the 51396 does.

 

[dirty]

so the ph4967 = ph3614?

 

[The_Champ]

I did a little research, and Onan generators take a filter exactly like Fram PH4967, except it is a 4.75" long. It has the same gasket seal, thread size and pitch, and internal parts. The only filter brands that make one though are Baldwin, Fleetgard, and WIX. All the other filters you guys listed will probably work, but in order to get an exact replica, you need to go with a Baldwin B7238, a Fleetgard LF16165, or a WIX 57398.

Thanks for mentioning that 57398. Im interested in it now. I emailed wix about its beta ratio. Its not listed but maybe they have a identical size/media filter with a different thread size that has a beta ratio listed for it. If so the #'s should be identical. I'll post the info here if they reply to me. If the beta ratio is close to the 51396 that Im using now which is 2/20=6/19 then I'll try it but if it doesnt filter near as good for example say 2/20=31/40 then I'll pass on it.

 

[The_Champ]

No problem, just trying to help out

 

[leftlane]

Ok wix told me its a fairly new filter so thats why it has no beta ratio yet, and they have no identically sized filter with a beta ratio so who knows what that filter will do. Until I have some idea of its performance I'll pass on it and stay with the proven 51396.

 

[BillWilson]

I used the Wix 51348 in the past and started using SuperTech ST3614 this year on my 1987 Toyota Pickup with 2.4L R22 engine. I don't know about SuperTech beta ratio performance unless someone in this group has SuperTech information, hopefully. The ST-3614 and Motorcraft FL-910 are about the same size with same thread.

 

[The_Champ]

The info I came up with for the Beta ratio is in the Champ filter line, which is similar to the Super Tech. The ratio for the PH2835(ST3614) is B36=75, and B27=2.

 

[leftlane]

Wix confirmed that the 51396 has the beta ratio 2/20=6/19 since thats the beta ratio of the 51356 which has the identical size and media so to me that would be the better of the two, and better than the wix 51348 too btw, since it filters smaller particles. For me it has kept the oil cleaner than the toyota and honda filters so Im real pleased with it.
