Oil filter assembly...

Hi,
what is the toyota 4runner part number on the oil assembly filter? I found the metal one but I am looking for a plastic one as well. The original one.
thank you

 

for a 2019 (I *think* it's the same for all 5th gens...should confirm) it's
04152-YZZA5

 

Ok fill us in what's the project...now I'm curious

 

What are the odds he's designing a new 4Runner engine around the current oil filter housing?

 

Make it a diesel please!
My guess plastic 4runner to metal camry mod

 

Hey Camrys are AWD now, might be on to somethin?

 

A camry with a 12" lift and a 4.5 diesel... sold!

 

I like back ups just in case I f'ked it up.

 

Translation: I already f'cked it up and need a back up?

 

LMAO...sound like something I'd do too...but nah...its super simple

 

I just want to be prepared if sh*t hits fan!

 

Or the dealer done did F'd-it up with their "FREE" oil changes.... Ask me how I know.

 

Speaking of which - what's a good source for the aluminum version? I'd like to have one ready for the 10k oil change...

 

Thanks. I assume you switched the internal element from the plastic housing...?

 

Is the one that comes on the aluminum housing shorter?

 

Did you have to replace the center metal piece?

 

I have been reading that it should be changed but some say they have not changed it.....just curious

 

Change it. Make it look like the OEM plastic one. You have to do some twisting and maybe bend a couple of metal tabs to accomplish it.

 

yesterday I had a loaner subaru outback it was 2020. our 2010 outback is doing a recall then we are selling it to a family member, when I opened the hood to look at the engine, it was a spin on and it was on top like my tacoma! whoever thought it was ok to change it into this oil assy housing needs go back to school and retake that engineering course. horrible design!!

 

yes spin and good location. so easy... this newer style is crazy... I need to get a new filter wrench, take out 2 o-rings and etc...also this 0w-20 is like water... so thin.

 

I fcked up the plastic filter housing. Broke off one of the tabs. No idea how I did it as I was using a torque wrench and everything was seated properly. Nevertheless, it is a good idea to have a back-up plastic filter housing or get the metal housing. I ended up getting the metal housing.

 

they broke while you were putting it on or taking it off?

 

Putting it back on. It was one of the 3 tabs that broke so I at least had grip on 2 other tabs. I just left it on, put oil back in, drove it for another 10k and installed the metal filter on the next oil change.

 

I almost cross threaded the plastic housing today. BUT, noticed right away and then rethreaded on smooth and just snugged it down. I always start them by hand first...

 

Sorry for bringing this back up, I replaced my housing to the metal one and never replaced the support tube in the middle with the factory one. Now I can't find the plastic housing. Is it a big deal if I leave it like that?

 

Find one put one on there
Remember there's pressure going though the filer that piece is viagra to the filter short term sure its fine but personally I'd sleep better at night (just me you do you)
