Oil Filter Question

Looks like second one is current “correct” one, and it’s the supersession for the first. So the first would be ok too.


2022 Toyota Prius Filter sub-assembly, oil - 90915YZZN1 - Genuine Toyota Part

 

Had an oil change yesterday on my prime 2022 , I confirm 90915-yzzn1 for the oil filter

 

I bought a five-pack of 90915-YZZF2 for my 2019. I need to double check if that is what I actually got, or if I got the updated filter.

 

Yeah see from my receipts dealership was selling me the first, and more recently the second.

(I’ve done conversion to spin-on on my 2010.)

 

As a fellow 2022 owner who has done oil changes on a 2022 with parts from an actual Toyota dealer, 90915-YZZN1 is the one (unless, of course, you don’t trust Toyota).

 

The parts.toyota.com website is maintained for Toyota by a third party (SimplePart), and it has a regrettable history of incorrect information about parts availability.

Both parts mentioned here, 90915-YZZF2 and 90915-YZZN1, are local (i.e., North American) substitutes for the original part, 90915-10003, used on later fourth-generation Prius cars and on many other models with cartridge-type engine oil filters. As far as I know, they’re completely interchangeable with each other and with an older part, 90915-YZZM1—but none fits earlier fourth-generation Prius cars that have a reusable oil filter cap assembly and require an element kit, 04152-YZZA6 (04152-37010), instead.

 

I take Parts.toyota with a grain of salt. It list Air filters not available in the USA as the correct part. True, you can take a look at the factory original air filter and hunt down that EXACT part number, but many dealers will carry a different part number for the air filter. Because the factor air filter they use at assembly is made in Japan but most US dealerships will carry the US made version with a different part number.

 

Trust but verify. When I asked for an oil filter for my 2012 Prius C; The parts counter guy handed me a cartridge filter. I told him no; it's a spin-on. Then he proceeded to start arguing with me. I got the parts manager and walked them both out to the car and pointed at it.
The original parts counter guy goes, ohhh it's a Prius C; and I asked him why he was arguing with me for the past 15 minutes.

 

I had a similar experience. I’ve done conversion to spin-on on my 2010. Time before last I tell the parts guy I need oil filter for 2020 Prius (a year Toyota used spin-on style). I also spell out that I’ve done the conversion.

He says he’s got it, sells me the boxed filter, and instead of checking there I left it till I got home. Had to go back.

 

Yep, YZZN1....I keep 6 of them handy in my garage...fits our 17/21 Prius and my son-in-laws 2008 Corolla! Sometimes I find them at Walmart for just over $5 and I'll snag some.

A Toyota mechanic once explained to me why Toyota "supercedes" part numbers but I can't remember the reason...probably job security for some corporate egghead who has nothing better to be doing!!

 

For the first two oil changes that I did after the Toyota free oil changes ran out, I used the Mobil 1 oil filters. Then it hit me that so many Toyotas go past 300k miles from just dealership maintenance. That's when I bought the five-pack of Toyota filters. Still use Pennzoil Platinum for the oil, but the OEM filters are fine. I found one of my strong rare-earth magnets and put it on the outside of the oil filter to be able to trap the most minute magnetic debris (I've been doing this for 30 years after cutting open one of my used oil filters to see the metallic black 'dust' that was against the inside of the filter directly opposite of the magnet - it works). Do wish that car-specific magnetic drain plugs were readily available instead of the parts-store ones that have thread-cutters on them to make them fit.

 

You know you’re confusing them with the facts, right?
