Was it like this? I'd want to check it out and see if a standard oil filter would still fit if you remove the element and it's canister/cover.

actually chief i don't think a standard oil filter would fit into this new one. the housing itself is a bit bigger and sort of a decagon shaped hard plastic with the element inside. this one's different. when it was screwed in place i initially thought it was part of the block itself, what gave it away was that it's colored black.

oh well. Looks like were really stuck with OEM toyota filter elements for now given that set-up.

Guys have any of you experienced hearing a squeaking sound when turning the steering wheel?

I noticed it 2 weeks ago, but I thought it'd go away. Just this weekend, I started hearing it again. I have no idea what it is, though the steering works perfectly fine.

I've been experiencing this for quite some time now. But its on and off...

ito ba yung "tok" na sound everytime you make a big turn?

if yes, before meron din ang kotse ko (2010 1.6V) na ganung "tok" sound during turns, pina-check namin sa casa, papalitan daw yung driving shaft. na-claim namin under warranty.

sabi ng SA na nakausap ko, sakit daw talaga ng mga naka-EPS yun.

Meron din ako squeaking sound sa steering wheel before,mukhang nawala nung last visit sa casa.

Paid P 4.7k for the 20k kms check-up. Naayos din yung mga pinaayos: steering wheel squeak, rattle sa likod, trunk release switch...

Yup on and off din. Akala ko nung una nagooverheat yung EPS motor since I first heard it after being stuck in traffic for over an hour. But recently kahit short drives.

Hopefully nothing mechanically critical.

Had the trunk problem before, then they fixed it. When I had my rear bumper painted, parang di maganda yung pagka-align, so if you don't shut the trunk with enough force, it doesn't lock. If you somehow manage to close it without much force, di bubukas using the trunk release lever.

Approaching 60,000 kms on my 10th Gen ZZ. So far so good. no steering wheel squeaks. no toks nor thuds. still drives like new. may konting mga vibrations lang sa mga windows on rough roads, sign of natural ageing I guess. comfort still maintained. aircon can still freeze my balls. reasonable maintenance costs kahit sa casa. my loyal everyday workhorse car.
