Oil filters no longer available

That sounds preposterous; try phoning a dealership parts department.

 

I bought two of the same part # about three weeks ago at my local Toyota dealer.

 

Literally every single department store and auto parts store near you has an oil filter that fits on your Prius and the hundreds of different labels are nearly irrelevant because there's only a few primary manufactures of oil filters and all of them do nearly the same job. I mean how loyal to a label on a box of cardboard do you think you need to be?

 

Your dealer filters or Toyota filters are cheaper than fram tough guard at Walmart I find that hard to imagine but no matter and wix too that's on the lower end of the scale unless they make some top of the line filter or equal to tough guard and the like for the Gen 2 this is a spin on like 4397 or 4297 I can't remember by heart but it's one of the most popular. That should not be any kind of issue you should be able to get the frams by the case online and I would think wix too is wix gone out of business or something?

 

If you really want OEM Toyota oil filters, simply type into Google: Denso Oil Filter and buy 'em

 

From the same fine merchants who will tell you they're selling Denso spark plugs?

 

More research needs to be done... I simply asked Google who makes Toyota branded oil filters and that was the answer, but it's also likely the default answer for all Toyota parts that Toyota doesn't make themselves. There's plenty of parts makers beyond Denso for Toyota.

 

Was the N1 the one that replaced the F2?

 

That's correct, N1 replaced F2.

As many eBay and Amazon buyers have learned, there's also plenty of parts makers calling their stuff Denso.

 

And we all know Google is never wrong

 

Just belly up to dealership parts department, say you need oil filter (and drain bolt washer) for such-and-such car; they’ll fix you up.

 

I just bought 2 this weekend, one for my camry hybrid and one for Prius. Did an oil-change-weekend. I usually buy the oil filters at our local Toyota dealer since Walmart and parts store can't beat their price and with free drain plug gasket too! I paid $13 for both.

 

I usuu it usually get stiffed a buck or two for that washer.

 

I have to check but I know I paid for the washer but the filter and washer combined were right around $6 or $7, so it looks like a wash.
EDIT: $5.41 and $1.13 =$6.57. (So, does that mean I got a “free” washer)

 

Yeah my latest was $7.91 for the filter (same as yours, I did the conversion to spin-on) and $1.33 for the washer. Canadian funds. Sounds sim, with the conversion.
