Any experience with Doorman metal filter cover?

I am not a fan of plastic parts on the engine. Anybody have experience with the Dorman oil filter cover on a 5th gen? I would love a converter to standard filter styles.....but I will take what I can get.

I believe Toyota makes a metal cover for the Camry and Avalon that fits in place of our plastic one. I would stick with OEM.

Here is the part number....15620-31060

And it is cheaper, thanks!

these guys make an adapter for a remote filter, it screws in place of the stock filter housing. This is what Im going to soon

 

My shop installed a Doorman when I broke my OEM plastic housing and said I’d prefer the metal version. It is junk!

I replaced it today myself. First off, oil leaked from the drain valve as soon as I unscrewed the cap. Second, the gasket around the valve fell right off. Third, the drain valve would not accept the plastic drain tool, it just dribbled here and there. Fourth, the inner tube assembly fell apart when I pulled off the dirty filter. The tube popped right off the bracket, and the bracket itself had dislodged from the bottom of the housing. I’ve honestly never encountered a crappier automobile part. Yikes!

 

That review right there should discourage anyone from ever even considering a Dorman filter housing. Scary. Sorry you had to be the Dorman guinea pig...

 

Link doesn't work for me.

 

Thank you for the heads up!

Your experience reinforces why I stick with OEM parts.

 

^^ This!

Cheers,

Sean

So then, how do you feel about your plastic intake manifold and plenum? Just saying...

I'm with you though, I don't like the plastic for the oil filter. I have purchased the OEM aluminum from Toyota. Will install at next oil change.
