Toyota / Lexus / Scion OEM Engine Oil Filter (04152-YZZA1)
Updated June 8, 2026
This is a genuine OEM spin-on oil filter designed for many Toyota, Lexus, and Scion gasoline engines. It uses a high-efficiency paper filtering medium to trap contaminants and maintain oil quality. The filter includes a built-in O-ring and is a direct replacement for original equipment. It is commonly used in models such as Camry V6, Avalon, RAV4, Highlander, Tacoma V6, ES350, RX350, and others.

How It Works
The oil filter mounts to the engine block and receives oil from the oil pump. Oil flows through the filter media, which captures dirt, metal particles, and sludge. Clean oil then returns to engine components. A bypass valve ensures oil flow if the filter becomes clogged.
Common Failure Symptoms
A clogged or degraded oil filter can cause reduced oil pressure, increased engine noise, or an illuminated oil pressure warning light. Over time, dirty oil can accelerate engine wear. Regular replacement (usually at each oil change) is recommended to maintain engine health.
Installation Notes
Installation is straightforward: remove the old filter, lubricate the new O-ring with clean oil, hand-tighten the new filter until the gasket contacts the mounting surface, then tighten an additional 3/4 to 1 turn. Always use a new crush washer on the drain plug. Verify fitment for your specific vehicle model and engine.
