Good question
From what me and The Critic think, Toyota speced two filters for the new A25A-FKS engine on the Camry, the "old" 90915-YZZF1(or F2) filter is speced if the car is using 0W-20, and there's a new filter that's a Chinese-made one that's used if the car is running the recommended 0W-16 oil. Most of the aftermarket is specifying a PH4386/4967 filter for the new engine with both oils.
Could Toyota know something we don't like different bypass specs?
Adam, any way you can cut apart that BPV? I see the mesh screen, and the spring inside, but don't see how it would actually block flow during normal operation?
Zee, maybe I am seeing what I want on this; it may be a disc. But I have the 1365 which is a trans filter, which does have a screen instead of a bypass. I was trying to understand why there would be a mesh if there was a spring... if it's solid, that answers the question!

Now what good would a bypass valve be if it was not solid but made of screen?
That's my point... the filter I am talking about has the screen, which is how the Subaru trans filter is designed to ensure the tranny gets sufficient flow at all times, minus serious chunks of course. I didn't pull up the Wix cross reference to see if this is a lube or trans filter, so I had to ask!
