I use the napa gold 1068 I never change the oil the same day I drove the truck and always have some oil in it
A 22 engine sitting for 3 or 4 weeks will not have enough oil left in the filter to make a diddly difference – and if anyone can show me otherwise I’ll be waiting right here for the proof.

Farm filters are POS. They will become hard and stop filtering. You can use a D3 oil filter from your local toyota dealership which will cost about the same as a Napa gold, which is a wicks filter.
If my buddy still had the one he cut open one day I'd post some pictures. Just google inside of frame oil filter and you'll see why they are garbage.
When you see the cheap "paper" media Fram uses verses the Napa or the Wix you'll understand. The latter two won't collapse and block and by-pass your filter. You don't even know this is happening. so you are just blindly happy with a lower grade product. Just sayin' from years of mechanic experience and viewing engine failures.
The check valve in the oil filter should keep it mostly full of oil. quality oil filters tend to do a better job of this. (OEM Toyota) I have replaced oil filters that felt really heavy due to incorrect change interval. The filter will start to bypass (no longer filter the oil) once it becomes plugged/ restricted.
This subject has always been one of the most hotly debated on every automotive forum website I’ve been on – dozens.There’s no doubt there are people who have had bad experiences with the dreaded FRAM oil filters, but globally, with millions and millions consumed in the aftermarket non-OEM industry, there doesn’t seem to be any ongoing issues of causing engine failures due to the design, quality of the construction, or internal filtering materials.A backyard self-proclaimed expert taking apart an unused oil filter and analyzing its components is like taking apart a freshly rebuilt engine and visually describing its components. Neither action will accurately predict how it will operate in its designed function.In the “comparisons” I have read I did not read any statements about actual testing of Filter Capacity, Cumulative Efficiency, Multipass Efficiency, Mechanical and Durability, Single Pass Efficiency to SAE Standard HS806. Why?To me, those comparisons are about as scientific and as meaningful as the comparison below…Below is a link to a toilet paper comparison…. Nowhere in this comparison does it state how many “testers” there were, what parts of the tester’s anatomy were tested, how many rolls of TP did each tester test. Did the any of the rolls pass the “poop test” which should have included: Filter Capacity, Cumulative Efficiency, Multipass Efficiency, Mechanical and Durability, Single Pass Efficiency.http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/health-products/toilet-paper-reviews/a18787/toilet-paper-brands/The debate about those bad-a$$ FRAM filters will rage on…and on… Gnarls.
.... Single ply, thin, and somehow smooth in a way that smears more than it removes.
