Re: m-1 filter

You may not get a response on your question. Your best bet is to go to your Mobil filter dealer and compare. Toyota filters use a 3/4 by 16 threads/in. so there are lots of choices. The most important points to remember is to match the base gasket to the standard filter. Filter can diameter can be bigger if you have clearance in your engine. The other points to check is to insure the filter you choose has an anti-drain back valve, most filters do, you can visually check for the valve by looking under the feed holes around the filter base. It will probably be black nitrile or orange/red silicone. The should have a bypass valve. I'm not sure where the Mobil bypass valve is located, it's in the top center of stock Toyota filters. Some filters have the bypass valve located in the base in the same area the drain back valve is located. A careful inspection should show some feed holes for the BP valve. You may not get much help from the filter dealer as they will probably want to sell the filter specified by Mobil. Product liability. Hope this information helps. If not I can probably locate a tall Fram that will work and you can cross-reference it to Mobil numbers.
