Stick with genuine..

When you are within the warranty period, definately replace it with genuine, no question, just to avoid any arguments or confusion if there is any problem whatsoever with the fuel system or injectors etc, after that I really can't comment. I would be worried that the water sensor device at the bottom of the fuel filter may not work properly with a non genuine filter etc...its too important to make a mistake with I guess...so stick with genuine

We only use genuine fuel filters (under the bonnet)on the 150 series now , we have had a lot of trouble with air leaks with the non gen stuff for some reason , maybe there was a bad batch as i would think plenty of people use the after market stuff with no problems

BTW expect to pay approx $95 for the filter unless you have an early build (pre 2010) 150 series as there are two different part numbers apparently.

Quick A/C fuel test

If te pilot dripped a drop of oil from the dipstick onto the top of the sample, he would know if it was all water. The oil drop sinks to the bottom in fuel, but floats if all water. (Ex LAME)

Ryco filters should be fine. Repco guarantee the filters to not impact your new car warranty.

I also asked the service guy at 60k service, if the main filter was going to be changed. When he said no, I asked for a new one to be installed. Cost at local Toyota dealer.. $100.84 for filter, and $57.50 extra labour to fit it. No wonder these dealerships are getting flasher and flasher. I to have installed a pre-filter, a STANADYNE fuel manager(with water bowl), and 3 micron element.

Is there a thread on installing an additional filter either before or after the factory one.

I did search...
