I know that this topic has been discussed over and over again. I saw OEM Toyota 04152-YZZA1 on sale the other day and bought half a dozen without realizing that it may not fit my car. The seller indicated that it will fit the Is 250 rwd. I have a 2012 and realized that there has been some changes made from 2011 and on. So I was wondering if someone can help me out.

Can I still use 04152-YZZA1 and 0W-20 synthetic engine oil for my car or do I have to use 04152-YZZA5. The only difference is in the height:

Specs of YZZA1:
Product Height 2.64"
Product I.D. 1.1"
Product O.D. 2.76"

Specs of YZZA5 (same as YZZA2 and YZZA3):
Product Height 3.23"
Product I.D. 1.1"
Product O.D. 2.76"

Your insights are appreciated!

No, you cannot use them. You need the taller filter, if you use the shorter one oil will just bypass the filter, you might as well run no filter.

Thanks Jeff. I will exchange the YZZA1 to YZZA 5.

Jeff do you know if I really need 0W-20 for engine oil ? Why can't I just use 5W-30?
