Ok, this usually isn't a problem for me. However I see a "tall" and a "short" filter for the 2021 Lexus. On some websites AWD and RWD seem to make a difference in filter (why does drive train impact engine specs?). On others there is only "1". I used my VIN at a Lexus parts place and got a "short". Did it for another and got a "tall". So thats awesome!

I am not really interested in "use this one, why dont you use that one" but more trying to get the right filter without a bunch of song and dance/buy and returns..etc.

IS the RWD and AWD oil filter different?

Lexus says:
04152YZZA1

Fram:
xx9972 -- RWD
xx10158 -- AWD

Puralator:
25608 -- RWD
25609 -- AWD

M1:
251A -- RWD
256A -- AWD

So thoughts on my sitch?

I have a 2021 is350 f sport AWD and I use STP S10158XL. If you go onto the autozone website and type in your cars info you will see what fits!

Autozone and many other website didn't differentiate between AWD and RWD. AdvanceAuto did. So the taller filters (3.xx) are for AWD models and the shorter (2.75) are for the RWD.

Those other websites suck.
