Oil Filter Question

Is there an online cross-reference that will identify different brands oil filters by size and thread? What I want to do is find a longer (= more filtration surface area) filter for the Camry, hopefully without plowing thru 100s of filter specs one by one. Camry would take a 12" long filter if someone made one that long.

    Why? I have a Mazda that has over 300,000 on it. Does not use oil and runs like a top. No fancy synthetic oils or fancy filters. I bet the filter is somewhere around 3" long. :E

    Unless you're doing extended drains there should not be that much contamination in the oil to clog up a factory filter.
  • Not exactly what you are looking for bu AMSOil has an add on filter that is really something.
  • What year Camry and which engine?
    Toyota makes some longer filters that will fit, though they are used on other aplications.
