Three or four years ago, I bought a carton of the smaller Toyota oil filters, p/n 90915-YZZF2. Then, after using a couple, I lost them when I moved. I've been using the larger filter, p/n ...YZZF1, for the past year. Recently, I found the carton of F2's, there are 9 left. I used one for my last oil change a couple of weeks ago, but I'm wondering -- are there any shelf life issues for oil filters? About the only component on them I can see which could deteriorate over time might be the rubber "O" ring gasket, but the couple I've examined, including the one recently used, seem fine. Since I'm doing only 3 oil changes a year, I have at least another 3 year's supply of filters up my sleeve, plus one of the larger YZZF1's I still haven't used. Will these be OK to keep using? Or are there issues involving internal components/materials which may not age well? Comments, please.
