Oil Filter Size

[TJK]

I am not pleased with the size of the LC oil filter, is there another Toyota filter that might fit & has more capacity?
I know other OE filters from Ford, GM, Mopar & Nissan have some.
So people in the know please chime in.

Curious. Why are you concerned with the size? Toyota filters are pretty tried and true.

There is a bypass valve in the filters. @TJK, If you change, make sure the bypass valve pressure rating is the same.

Have you seen the size of it? It's very small.
My 4Runner filter is much larger.
If you could get more filter capacity, why not take advantage of it.

Yes I am aware of that, thank you.

Agree on the super small size of the filter. You would think that there would be a taller variant for this engine....as there is room. With the 4 cylinder engine working harder than the V8 or V6, I think it would be advantageous to have more filter capacity ...so that the by pass would never be triggered.

I agree on the quality of Toyota's oil filters...but the size and location seem to be an afterthought...which I know is probably not the case. Most newer vehicles have the oil filter located on top of the engine...easy to install and service.

I don't think it is any larger but does anyone know how the Wix WL10332 compares to Toyota's filter? Any other options that might be good?

The 90915-10010 is .6" longer and looks like it should fit. I think it's what is used on the GX550

My 2cents.......... with regular oil changes the oil system would rarely go into bypass unless there was an engine failure of some sort. The fact that this proven engine was designed for 0W20 oil and be changed at 10,000 miles by Toyota and Toyota knows longevity ............. my 5K oil changes should extend the engine life to well after I'm too old to care about it.

I have looked everywhere in the owners manual but cannot find the part number of oil filter or any mention of the oil filter used in the LC. I want to stay OEM. Surprised this is not mentioned in the manual.

90915-YZZN1 is what the dealer gave me and it is an exact match to the one that came from the factory.

Amsoil offers several grades of filter for the 2024+ LCs. The longer duration filters offer more filtering residue tolerance. I have been using them for years on various gas and diesel vehicles with great success.
If I get the Jeep trashed with dust, I change the oil and filter ASAP, regardless of anything else.
6 qts of oil s a good bit for that tiny motor. My plan is to use Amsoil filters, amsoil and change the oil every 4k or sooner if the dust comes up. Ill lab the oil at some point when there is some mileage on the LC and report the results here.
OEM Toyota filters are on AMZ at very a good price. Amsoil, get yourself a preferred customer account and order enough for free shipping.

Wix are top rate as well.

Your 4runner is a 6- cylinder. The LC a 4

How do you figure the 4 cylinder is “working harder” than a V6 or V8 making identical power outputs? By definition they’re doing the same amount of work.

The 4 cylinder in this case isn’t even turning a lot of RPM to get that work done. Anecdotally the 5.7L 3UR-FE V8 in my Tundra is probably “working harder” than the T24A-FTS hybrid in the Land Cruiser to do the same work. That V8 is consistently turning 1000-1500 RPM higher engine speeds than the T24A-FTS in the LC to climb 6% to 7% grades at highway speeds.

Better oil technology and improved combustion technology has made for cleaner running engines, filters don’t have to be enormous anymore to be reasonably effective.

If it’s really worrying, by all means use a filter from a V35A-FTS, but your best bet is to just ignore the asinine 10K OCI and change it out at 5K or 6 months whichever comes first. If the oil never breaks down, becomes fuel diluted, or overly contaminated with soot or carbon; your oil filter will scarcely have a chance to get clogged.
