I dont think he was trolling you, bud. You're obviously free to maintain how you see fit but you're going to encounter other opinions in this forum...some are useful & appreciated whereas some are not so much. Keep an open mind about something unless you can factually disprove some information...
I watched that same video but he is wrong. What he is actually referring to is air filters.
With the small size of an oil filter why would you want to risk the media being filled & then the bypass valve engaging to let unfiltered oil pass through & back into the system? Oil filters, especially...
I wouldn't mind having better shifting behavior honestly. The hard shifts I'm feeling early in my commutes until the transmission warms up is concerning. Others have reported it also of course.
What I believe is that Stillen has a vested business & financial interest in high performance parts, aftermarket modifications, engine tuning & presenting results that encourage interested people to purchase parts/services that support the use of higher octane fuels for increased gains. I don't...
I commend you for efforts, time and participation in this community. This is notable information to have received & I don't dismiss it. I consider it at face value with very little doubt about the accuracy of the information you've graciously obtained & provided here. Thank you. 🙏🏻

It takes more than a few words to explain things especially when it comes to a differing opinion & the rationale. Short replies leave alot open to interpretation and don't lend well when discussing a technical topic. IMO of course. 😅
Thanks for sharing your insight & personal experience working with these engines. I respect your opinion & perspective. I'll look forward to seeing your data when compiled & posted for all interested to see.
As for my personal opinion, I doubt I'll change my mind. I also don't make up my mind...
I would be interested to see them...as long as the Dyno results show the same exact engine bone stock from factory in the same exact vehicle using an 87 octane gas AND again using a 91 octane gas. But to be very transparent, even if the results show an increase in HP I'll still be skeptical...
I can appreciate your POV & perspective on this topic. As I said in a previous post, I'm not a gearhead or well-versed in high performance automotive applications. With that said, I'm no meathead either & this is a topic that has captured my attention & curiosity. I've thought alot about this...
I'm at 5,100 miles now & it still shift hard in the lower gears when cold. I wonder if they under filled the tranny like some here have reported their differentials under filled.
Slighty off topic but one would think that with a premium sound system in it that Toyota would have placed sound proofing in the areas that obviously need them. Just another cost cutting measure yet the increased pricing doesn't reflect that of course.
