Oil filter case

Does anyone have the part # for metal oil filter case for a 2021 4runner Venture

 

Not off hand, but search Amazon and you'll find genuine Toyota ones on there - it's where I ordered mine.

 

Looked on Amazon all say they don't fit 2021 4runner

 

Technically I think the aluminum canister is a Highlander or Rav4 part, but it should also fit the 4Runner. The metal inner sleeve should be swapped from your oem plastic 4Runner canister to the aluminum canister because the 4Runner filter is a different length.

TOYOTA Genuine 15620-31060 Oil Filter Cap Assembly

 

Is there anything wrong with the plastic part? Won't last as long? Reason to replace before failure? Thanks

 

I bought an aluminum one as a backup just in case the plastic housing were to break. It's still sitting in the box in the garage.

I could see how the plastic housing could potentially break if it was over-tightened, which seems to happen a bit too often with free dealer oil changes. Thankfully I do my own.

 

Just one quick question while on the metal filter housing: does it use the same push-in plastic nipple to drain oil in the filter? Thanks

 

It's identical to the plastic housing except for the inner sleeve. You'll also have to transfer the center drain plug from the plastic housing to the aluminum housing.

 

Great! Thanks

 

I think the plastic will be better as it is softer than the part it attaches on to, and it's not metal so it will not bind.. just a guess...
