Oil filter, buying one at Lexus vs Toyota dealer . . . .
Just curious about this. I have a 1992 Lexus SC300 that I am a bit OCD about, it goes in the occasional car show every now and then. Never a judged event, but I do like to keep everything under the hood 100% stock. Car has a battery that says "Lexus" on it that the previous owner had the dealer change for pete's sake.
If I buy a filter(I know its part #90915-YZZD1) from a Toyota dealer, I know it comes in a red/white box, its black with grey lettering and says toyota on it. Its $5 from them.
Does the filter from the Lexus dealer say "Lexus" on it and have different markings/colorings???
Only reason I ask is that filter on the 2JZ motor mounts on the side of the motor is and is clearly visible. This is the standard I keep my engine bay to BTW.

Well the wheels are different, and I switched all those fugly gold emblems to chrome ones. So its not really "STOCK"
Plus it gets driven a good bit, thus it remaining stock. I usually drive my truck around town and back and forth to work. But on long trips we always take the SC, its racked up 10,000 miles in my ownership of 2 years, almost all highway.

Don't know if the 04152-YZZA4 ('07-12, 3URFBE) is also a potential match. Er, just looked it up and it isn't a can style filter.
Interestingly, the YZZD1 is listed as for 4-cyl and the YZZD3 for 6-cyl, but aftermarket blurs them together and even Toyota seems inconsistent with what engines they spec them for. YZZD3 is supposedly longer than YZZD1.

I work at Toyota and have been handed the d1 filter for service on the 2jz, I personally use the d3 on my cars as it holds slightly more oil. No issues. If you use the parts store guide for aftermarket filters, they suggest the d1 sized filter.
Lol at being so **** about factory junk. If filters weren't free for me, I'd use napa gold or wix on my 400 like I do on my jzgte.
