Bought my case from this guy: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZtrdparts4u

Good guy...free shipping and you get 10 filters for $39.99. He also sells the plug gaskets for $6.99 (10 of them).

 

Can't remember where I saw this, but in one of the Prius forums someone mentioned this site:

www.toyotapartsdelivered.com

Price was $31.53 for 10 filters plus $8.00 shipping. Can't remember whether they sell drain plug gaskets. I haven't bought from them, but I made myself a note to try them as I approach my next oil change (unless something better comes along in the meantime).

I will have to search my e-mail but one of the Toyota Dealers online sold the filter and included the plug gasket for free... I bought 5 at the time and still have two left maybe... I carry on in the car at all times... I can get moble one anywhere but not that filter...

later

 

Here is the website of one of the Toyota dealers where you can order a case of 10 oil filters online for $39.90 with no shipping charges (drain plug gaskets not included):

Toyota of Dallas Parts Order

Use the 'Search' tab with either the part name or number.

You can also order individual filters for $3.70/ea, but you must then also pay the exorbitant shipping charges.

Prius specifications call for Toyota oil filter part # 90915-YZZF2. However, consider ordering Toyota part # 90915-YZZF1, instead. It is the same price and diameter, but is slightly longer (about an 1"), making it easier to get hold of and it holds a bit more oil (which will help alleviate the oil capacity 'issue' somewhat). It's the oil filter some Prius owners use (myself included).

The only reasons I can think of why Toyota might use these shorter filters is cost (they might be a fraction of a cent cheaper to make) and/or clearance. A filter that sticks out around an inch longer would be more susceptable to damage, particularly on a car without much ground clearance. However, it doesn't seem to stick out that far, to me, so I'm not concerned.

 

TRDparts4U also sells a case of 10 OEM filters for pennies under $40 (free shipping) and 10 gaskets for $8.

Can anyone verify that the 90915-YZZF1 is a direct replacement for the 90915-YZZF2 (except for the length, of course)? Same opening pressure for the bypass, etc.?

I think I have some of them left over from my last car.

Thanks!

wow, I just ordered some OEM oil filters from http://www.trdparts4u.com/MC-CEHD-CC.aspx

The last time i had ordered them was in 2006 for about $36. Now the same case is $45. Wow.

 

I have a box (10 Filters) of Toyota (OEM) for 2010 Prius. Part # 04152-YZZA6, that I would like to sell.

If interested, let me know.

 

we actually buy at dealer.. less then $4, cheaper then any online store, no shipping

 

I can't get my head around the "Costco" mentality, at least not in this case:

This is a relatively cheap item. You need one once bi-yearly at the most: just buy as you go, might cost you an extra $1 per year, LOL.

(Speaking of Costco: was there last night, eying business size envelopes. They came in a (massive) box of 500. Started thinking: "lessee, I might mail 10 letters a year, likely less but say 10: so this will last me...: 50 years!. By that time will you still be able to mail a letter?")

 

I still have a box (10 Filters) of Toyota (OEM) for 2010 Prius. Part # 04152-YZZA6, that I would like to sell. $35.00 and I'll pay shipping in the USA.

If interested, let me know.

Thanks

 

how much are you selling these for? I am interested.
