YZZA4 oil filter explanation from a lexus tech
You might want to check before you commit to using one of those. The Purolator filter I bought had end caps and they didn't allow the filter to go far enough into the housing. The application notes do not include the 2UR-GSE, so if you buy one, be sure to have one you know works on hand too just in case the TRD one doesn't actually fit.
^^^^You're right of course. But, the application notes do not specify any Lexus vehicle and it is listed as a cross for the YZZA4. I can see no reason why it won't fit. I have mixed feelings about the end caps though

The ISF housing is not the same as the ones that use YZZA4 filters..
Till this day, I still use the OEM specific ISF filter... And will continue to do so...

I just did my 1st oil change myself and used a k&n cartridge type filter. The ps-7018 k&n filter crosses over to several lexus/toyota engines.

Toyota/Lexus did(?) offer the 04152-38020 for the Land Cruiser/LX 570. It has the same dark color as the IS-F 04152-51010, and came with all the O-rings and drain. I believe it has been superseded to the YZZA4.

Lexus of Riverside (CA) no longer sells the 51010's. Superseded to the YZZA4's, which they sell for just under $12. I respectfully declined and checked virtually next door where the identical filter is $4.
Are the 51010's being discontinued?
Are the 51010's being discontinued?
I've seen them listed for the RC F as well, so I doubt they're being discontinued. However, UOA shows no evidence of the YZZ4 failing in service, and all my UOAs have shown excellent numbers with the YZZ4 elements. I really doubt there is a difference between the elements.
Just let the dealership change the oil or at least supply the correct filter. Done and done.
