On the way home from my Drs. appt. Monday, I stopped at a mom and pop Federated Auto Parts store that was going out of business. Actually, the shelves were picked clean. I did manage to buy the last 2 japanese oil filters for .25 cents each. The owner stated the threads were 3/4-16, the same size as what my oil filter nipple is on my 4.2 V6 engine.
Whom here thinks I should try them on my engine? Or, should I C&P them?

Is there a brand name on the can? I think that Japanese writing near the warning triangle symbol says "May Explode if Used on Fords". LoL ...

If they have a part # on them you can use the Fram Cross reference tool to see what they cross over to in Fram....if it's the PH3600 or PH3614 then use them on your Ford...otherwise C&P...

I am in search of an individual/individuals on this forum that can decipher Japanese writing on 2 oil filters! Those interested in the job, PLEASE contact BITOG member Eddie! He will pay you for your time & services with Rice Saki and Eel.

One of my cousins used to own a 2010 Tacoma with the V6. He would use a FRAM TG 3600 oil filter on the engine. These filters "just might" work on my engine. I see an oil filter experiment in my future..........maybe.

I would run one of these in place of a 3600 or 3614 in a heartbeat.

Even on my Harley Softail... which would be kind of funny!

Yeah, I have to agree with you about using them on my engine.
If you were to use one on your HD, you could put tape over the Japanese words so your HD would never see them.

There are a few Motorcraft filters that they've used on the Matrix and even Camry. Last oil change two months ago at Quicklane they used an Omnicraft filter. So I'm sure the inverse would work as well.

I think when Godzilla was fighting Mothra, he was throwing these oil filters at Mothra!

Those look like Toyota filters, seeing 3614/FL910 and the FL400 can fit on Toyotas, I've used the FL400s many times on a 1UZ-FE I'd use them.
