for Evora • S • 4xx-Series • Evora GT-Series cars
The Lotus Maintenance Schedule recommends the engine oil & filter be replaced every 9,000 miles or 12 months. Tracked Evoras fall under "special conditions” and Lotus recommends 4,500 mile or 6 month oil changes for these cars. We’ve expanded our lineup and now have three filter kit options:
- Lotus Kit: These are the same Toyota filters used by Lotus dealerships and we get them from out Lotus U.K. distributor. Each kit include the main oil filter element, the upper & lower oil filter housing o-rings, and a draining bung to make the task less messy and will come in a Toyota box with a Lotus label affixed to them.
- Toyota Kit: This is exactly the same as the Lotus kit except the box does not have a Lotus label—there are no other differences! We get these directly from a Toyota distributor and they are about half the price of the Lotus Kit.
- TRD High-performance Kit: While there is nothing wrong with the standard Toyota filter, we recommend these for any car that is driven with spirit or at the race track. These kits are from Toyota Racing Development (TRD) which is the racing and performance division of Toyota and incudes a much sturdier, reinforced main oil filter element as well as the upper & lower oil filter housing o-rings, and draining bung.
Toyota also recommends the drain plug fiber gasket be replaced every time the plug is removed and reused. We try to keep a bunch on hand and will include one for free as supplies last—the gasket we provide is an genuine OE Toyota item from a Toyota distributor.
All three filter kits fit all Evoras including 2010 - 2014 Evora & Evora S cars, and 2016+ Evora 4xx-series and GT-series cars.
To make filter replacements easier, we recommend our made-in-the USA Oil Filter Removal Tool to safety loosen the aluminum filter housing.
These will ship directly from us in California.
