Soon im taking the plunge and jumping on the amsoil ban waggon. Since amsoil claims their series 2000 0w-30 is a 25K drain interval oil with filter changes in between, what kind of filter do you need to run in order to make it that far? After reading many success stories about amsoil it seems many people run amsoil remote bypass filter setup. If your changing oil once a year why do you need a remote filter setup? If i have to drop the skid plate once a year thats a good thing. Thanks for your thoughts.

Regular Amsoil filters take that kind of punishment. You can order it through the Amsoil site at www.amsoil.com .

even if you switch to any of their oils/filters they recommend filter changes at 6 months. So its not gonna save you from that PITA job. Also I wouldnt recommend running it the whole year the first time without doing an oil analysis at 6-8 months, just to see how your truck is doing on it. I wouldnt run it longer than a year or 15K miles no matter what unless your doing alot of oil analysis to check the condition of the oil and engine. If you have any other questions feel free to shoot me an email at [email protected]

I started using amsoil a four years ago. My engine is the only thing that still runs great. The rest of the truck has been abused x 10.

Use the Amsoil SDF-34, it is not the one that is listed for the Tacoma, but it is the same one only longer, so it holds more fluid and has more filtering area. The one that is supposed to be used for the Tacoma v6 is SDF57, it works I have been running the SDF 34 for about 3 years now. And for all of you that use Fram, besides the fact that I am sorry for you, Fram calls for a 3614, try switching to the 3600, same thing only longer also!!!
