For the Yaris, you can use the longer XG4386
Is there a longer motorcraft or longer wix version?
Fram 4386 crosses to Wix 57145
Cool thanks

And as mentioned before, there's a sealing gasket around the center tube where the bypass valve sits - not gonna make the 99% at 20u ISO efficiency test rating if it leaked. So tells me they don't leak.
The base end bypass valve on WIX filters just sits in the end cap with no seal, just metal-to-metal.
Yeah I don't like that about wix bit at least it's not down at the dome end. I like the motorcraft design best because it's not a separate piece like that
Yeah, you don't have to worry about the Motorcraft bypass, the filter media will tear and render that point moot...
If you have no problem with the metal/gasket seal of the ADV, why do you have a problem with the metal gasket seal of the valve/spring?
Plus all bypass valves I have seen are a plastic/metal or metal/metal seal, no gasket at all.
A top end bypass dose t allow the oil to circle back around through the UN filtered side when it's in by pass. That's why I like it. The spring is pushing out from the inside. Could it leak by some? Sure I think so. But it's not as critical cooing from the top end into the center rather than from the dome end where the oil, in that scenario is swooping all the depris back up through the center
