I've used Toyota, Fram, Mobil 1, and Napa Gold and not once have I ever had one come off dry, and I usually change my oil after the truck has been sitting for a long time. It seems to me this is a problem specific to the 4 cyl engines for some reason. Is it possible there is some kind of weird back pressure going on with the 22re that pushes the oil out of the filter as the engine cools down?
